ple-happy consumers. The cam-
paign was dropped by Quaker
Oats, reportedly on the advice
of industry consultant Tom
Pirko, president of Bevmark
Consulting Group.
Pirko told Newsday last year
Kaufman's message was "too
confining for a drink that at-
tempts to appeal to a mass mar-
ket. Not everyone in the country
starts the morning with a
bagel."
The bagel remark led some to
speculate that Pirko, hence
Quaker, considered the Snapple
lady too Jewish. Kaufman will
say only that when she signed
on with Triarc this spring, "It
felt great to be able to wish them
a happy Passover."
Snapple's market value took
a dive during Quaker's owner-
ship and Pirko's consultancy,
and some industry analysts
have pointed to the axing of
Wendy as part of the problem.
Triarc this spring snapped up
Snapple for $300 million. Now
the company — which also mar-
kets Mistic drinks — is count-
ing on Kaufman to help polish
the Snapple image as a small-
town product that can quench a
nationwide thirst. She already
has appeared on radio shows
across the county and on "Live
With Regis and Kathie Lee."
And Triarc even threw Kauf-
man a parade on Fifth Avenue
last month.
"People were honking their
horns and yelling, We miss you,
Wendy,"' recalled Kaufman, a
lifetime Hadassah member who
has shared her career story at
local meetings. "I put my arms
in the air, and in my best Scar-
lett O'Hara imitation I said, 'As
God is my witness, I will never
eat oatmeal again!' "

It was billed as a summer
evening of Jewish music in the
shade of Bensonhurst Park, near
the cooling breezes of Gravesend
Bay.
Blue and white fliers with
Jewish stars printed in English
and Russian — to attract the
Brooklyn neighborhood's immi-
grant Jewish population — had
been distributed in stores and on
street corners, and placed on car
windshields for more than a
week, inviting people to a "Free
Jewish Music Festival Concert."
"Bring a chair or a blanket and
invite the family," the flier sug-
gested.
Nearly 300 music lovers were
