BOX352: Revolutionary War Era Rapper
He was a strange man who was considered by most to be an "idiot". He made horrible business decisions yet they always seemed to work out. Along the way, he became one of the wealthiest businessmen of his time. No, not Forrest Gump. His Name was Timothy Dexter. Then, We learn that Popeye The Sailor Man was based on a real guy named Frank "Rocky" Fiegel. With one major difference. Instead of finding his super-human strength in a can of spinach, Rocky found his in a bottle of bourbon. It's BOX353. For comfortable and safe use, please read the Safety & Comfort Guide.
