GR--you're welcome! I just got this candybar wrapper a few weeks ago when I was going through my mom's things (she never threw anything away!). Yeah, I like the old one too...did you know it was designed by an MATC Commercial Art student? When I went through that program, the teachers always brought it up as an example of student success.
Let me explain. The term bubbler is a quintessential Milwaukee thing. A bubbler is what the rest of the world (except Rhode Island, parts of Connecticut and the Boston area) would call a drinking fountain. The Yoopers also use it, but we all know they are just Wisconsin wannabees anyway. When I first moved to California, I would use the term and get blank stares in response. The world was a much smaller place then and I had no clue that bubbler was just a regional colloquialism. I use it as the title of my blog as a way to connect with those that know what it means and hopefully interest those that don't.
Born in Milwaukee, I moved to Southern California in 1980, with a five-year hiatus in Maui.
I now live in Torrance, California with my SO.
I design circuit boards, a job I totally love. If I wasn't doing that, I would love to have a small restaurant.
Things that make me happy: cooking, eating, music, and vegetating in my backyard.

I second that, Yay! And thank you for putting up a pic with the old logo instead of that crappy M.
