OLD BAY: Where flavor comes into port on wings of foam and brine

Long-time readers will guess
how frequently I have cause to sing
the praises of OLD BAY. It's
quite unnecessary. Herr's brand
OLD BAY flavored potato chips

pack enough of that seaside spice in
on all sides (of each chip!) to send
the crustiest seaman gagging for a quaff
of the ol' lime-punched grog, just to restore some order on deck
and regain the use of his inner
compass!

If you find yourself likewise with
a mouthful of that dry-rub low tide
personified (OLD BAY has so much
character, "personified" works), you

might yourself wonder: "What goes better
with this?" Try OLD BAY brand spice mix
with a hot tin bucket of corn-on-the-cob, crab
-in-the-shell, or anything else that smacks
of the waterfront and includes inedible parts (cob,
shell), all the better to hold a deeper dusting
of the rust-red
and trusty
dusty stuff:

the seafarer's friend and prized luxury. Use OLD BAY
in the toilet! Use it on land. Use it in the sky! This
testimonial has not been paid or solicited in ANY
WAY by OLD BAY or anything like it - which

is no surprise. There's really nothing quite
like it at all. OLD BAY's proprietary blend of zing,
whang and salty tang really stands out on the palate and brings
armadas of sensations storming the defenseless port
of your mouth,
big time.
It's
the culinary nautical
equivalent of piracy, and trust
me! Once you find your lips
and tongue on the high seas, seized
and dragooned into the service of
this old spice and herbs treasure, you'll wish

you had a map and a shovel
to dump your newfound taste
hoard overboard and bury it
in secrecy, for safekeeping! OLD

BAY. It really is what they say, more
or less. Check with your physician
- or with your friendly local sea captain
- before using OLD BAY in a way neither
of
them can agree with.
