The likeness of Yogi Berra swinging is prominent on the left hand side. The advertising reads "Me for Yoo-Hoo" Chocolate Drink. The Drink of Champions. Mickey Mantle also did adverting for Yoo-hoo, but Yogi Berra was the Main Spokesman. A quote from Yogi - "I didn't say all the things I said".

While many people recall Berra's long-standing promotion of the chocolate beverage, the drink was actually invented many years earlier, in the 1920s. It wasn't until Yogi Berra became friends with the owner of the company in the 1950s, however, that Yoo-Hoo became a household word. Berra not only recruited a number of investors to help finance a major production facility, but also enlisted the aid of many of his teammates, most important Mickey Mantle, to help promote the beverage. Their efforts were very successful. In a short time Yoo-Hoo became one of the most popular refreshments in America and the chosen drink of every diehard Yankees fan.
