Which syrup used to have the cartoony face of a little boy displayed on the bottle? I think he looked like a dark-haired Richie Rich.

"We sell the equivalent of 20 million servings of coffee syrup a year in the greater Rhode Island area, in a population of 1.5 million."
--Richard M. Field, Jr., the fourth-generation president of Autocrat. (Providence Business News, November 2002).

Did anyone else have this stuff served to them in elementary school?

ECLIPSE had a little boy with the wagging tongue on the bottle: "You'll LICK YOUR LIPS when it's ECLIPSE!"

Also, never had it in elementary school, but I did mistakenly pour Autocrat over ice-cream once.
