What Men Really Want
Seagram’s Coolers. A well-known alcoholic product. Two pictures. One, a wedding cake with the traditional bridegroom figurine atop it. It is a white cake, beautiful yellow and pink roses in a decorative border around the tiers of the cake. Along the walls of the tiers, streaming icing dribbling down the sides.
