I grew up in Baltimore and lived there for 25 years (and am

are inescapable there (Berger cookies, for the uninitiated, are
inexplicably popular confections that are 50% cookie and
70% frosting, and are endemic to the Baltimore region).

Close, but not quite in cigar territory.
Bromo-Seltzer before 1975
contained sodium bromide, which is a mild sedative. When bromides were
banned, Bromo-Seltzer kept its name, but now is little more than fizzy
Tylenol.
Ever see the clock tower at the southern entrance to Baltimore?
