    What's Paul Newman wearing?

    Not a Daytona, looks like an Accutron - no visible crown and very white hands. Perhaps you have another idea?

    It's a beverage that "refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach."

    Not when he died of lung cancer.
    Smoking does confer a superficial sense of masculinity but IS a vice and a pretty damaging one at that.
    Nothing masculine about a guy struggling to breath and gasping for air from lungs ravaged by this habit.

    and he would have gone past 90 probably had he not smoked.... the toxins clog up your small capiliaries over time and bits of you basically die off slowly -
    my mum got breast cancer, my mother in law had lung cancer - all smokers

    there's enough toxins in the air and in the food to not exacerbate the situation by smoking...

    anyhow to keep it on track - why is he not wearing a 'paul newman' rolex.... in my mind the mcqueen was always on stevies wrist and paul should have always his daytona on
    and put newmans own sauce on his salads... etc... etc... sad marketing isnt it

    ^ This. The salad dressings and other foodstuffs were to raise money for charity and all income after tax is donated. There are practically zero overheads and zero marketing costs - just his face on the packaging.
