Soda Connoisseur

[Michael Eastes]

I'd love to have some made with real sugar. And diet Dr. Pepper is not even fit to clean my car battery leads.

 

My family likes diet DP, but I don't like diet anything, although the DP is better than most. Artificial sweetners can do odd things with MS patients, though, so I'd avoid them even if I liked the taste.

 

I also like RC cola, but only one store chain in my area sells it.

 

Some ginger ales, esp. ones made in Jamaica, are very nice. I like a soda that fights back a little.

Every once in awhile I used to buy a 2-liter bottle of this stuff; http://www.northern-neck-virginia.com/northern-neck-ginger-ale.html

 

I thought it was noticibly better than the usual supermarket fare.

 

Dunno if they still have it locally.

Quit drinking battery acid a few weeks ago and I don't miss it.

Yeah, I go with the small sodas mostly myself. Birch Beer, Root beers, etc.
