Holy shee-it! My granddad used to call his bourbon "Kickapoo Juice" (It was, in fact, Beam White, but this was since I was old enough to ask what it was). My Grandma kept her pennies in an old Patent Medicine container for a brand called "Kickapoo Juice". That is the first time I have ever in thirty-four years ever hear or seen anyone outside my immediate family use that term. Thanks LD. Good memories.
