Oooh! I get it now. Here I was thinking there had been some kind of brouhaha and subsequent legal battle between the makers of Ovaltine and Hershey's. 

I don't know who's worse: The Santa that I just mentioned or the one from Miracle on 34th Street, who was caught drinking before the parade started.

Any musical enthusiasts watching the musical version?

No matter how hard they try, nothing after A Christmas Story can seem to appeal to fans.
