Good to know. Both the fact and the website.

Puns or not, Chevy story or not, my first question still stands.
Several years ago, I found a cute little bottle of juice at the store. I was thinking about buying it when the brandname "pom" caught my eye. Still haven't tried it.
On the other end: A few weeks ago I said to myself <jIghung. ghem vISop vIneH.>
MO has told us that "midnight snack" is a common translation for "ghem", but that it's really a meal of some substance. It's the meal between dinner and breakfast. It's "fourthmeal".
A stretch? Perhaps. But whenever I use "ghem", I think Taco Bell.
