Ralph Lee Abraham: “These Tastykakes were the bet of the Senator from Pennsylvania to our Little Caesars pizzas from Detroit. I might add…”

On the recordJune 9, 1997
These Tastykakes were the bet of the Senator from Pennsylvania to our Little Caesars pizzas from Detroit. I might add that Red Wings' owner Mike Illitch is also the owner of Little Caesars. While I now have some bragging rights on the floor of the Senate, the real winners will be the students at Warren G. Harding Elementary School in Detroit. The kids will soon taste the sweetness of the Red Wings success as Senator Santorum ships 300 boxes of these Tastykake cupcakes for a victory party at the school in the next week or two. And to make it extra special, in a show of true sportsmanship, Little Caesars will provide pizzas to the students at Harding as well. We look forward to celebrating our victory of the Stanley Cup with the students of Harding Elementary School in the weeks ahead.
