His list of requirements for a hotel room in Philadelphia during a tryout included sliced liverwurst, salami, and bologna, and twenty-four cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.Related reading

Right next to the Colgate with Gardol.
But seriously, It’s still on the supermarket shelf next to bologna and similar dangers. Twice a year, spring and winter, I succumb and buy liverwurst.
