When my sis and I were younger, our grandparents and our mom would tell us that Mustard makes your eyes shine. (Needless to say...No more special orders at McDonald's!!) Now I have a child of my own, and I'm instilling this wise crack in her head. ;) It works though...drive thru times are less than 3 minutes! :)
