Shirley Temple Hated Shirley Temples

Child film star and later United States Ambassador Shirley Temple Black (1928-2014) was a huge celebrity from the age of 3 and the release of her first film, Bright Eyes. She inspired the creation of the Shirley Temple mocktail (non-alcoholic cocktail) in the 1930s. To make one, you need ginger ale, grenadine syrup, and a maraschino cherry.

The Takeout reports that Black herself was not fond of the drink. Before her death a decade ago, she told an interviewer that she found it far too sweet. When, in 1988, a beverage company tried to market a drink with her name, she successfully sued to stop them.
