It's frustrating in doing a crossword puzzle to have a
section in which everything fits except one string that
seems to be impossible to be a valid word. This morning it
was "MRPIBB", with the clue "Coca-Cola product".

In a *proper* crossword, that clue would have been something like:

"Roger Vadim holds constant for a drink".

Mike M

Or ""Roger Vadim holds index for a drink".
