Keep the Egg in Egg Nog.
The real reason: there are standards for Egg Nog, so if you call it that it must have milk, cream, a minimum 6 percent butterfat, and a minimum 1 percent egg yolk by weight. By calling it “Holiday Nog” they don’t have to adhere to those standards, and instead use cheaper ingredients. Federal regulations protect you from that …if you pay attention.
This is actually a follow-on to a popular post in my blog: Keep the X in Xmas.

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.
Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!
Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
