I used to drink RC on a fairly regular basis but I encountered way too many instances of Diet RC being maliciously sold in regular RC bottles. Aspertame makes baby Jesus cry.

Diet RC in regular bottles?  Where are you buying this stuff, some shady back-alley cola distributor in Colombia?  I think the worst I ever got was a completely intact, fully sealed, completely empty can, but I've never gotten the wrong soda.  I think maybe it's time for a distributor change.

I, too, only order ginger ale on airplanes.  Eerie.

Perhaps this is because that is the practically only place left where they regularly offer you that fine beverage.  I've asked for ginger ale in a restaurant and been told "We have Sprite."  Sprite!  Sprite!   Sprite is to ginger ale as, as,I don't know,  mice are to motorcycles!  There is no relation whatsoever.

Pennsyl-tucky.

My previous SO basically only drank ginger ale. A lot of places would offer her a substitute* made with Coke and Sprite or something equally stupid.

I often get ginger ale on planes. My reasoning tends to be that, in a day of air travel, I will be drinking more soda than is healthy or comfortable, and ginger ale feels lighter / less "soda-y" than cola. Of course, lately I've realized that train of thought and just started getting cranberry juice instead.

(Incidentally, does cranbery juice carry any kind of stigma of bladder infection? I just prefer it as a "drink during the day" juice, but I've started to develop this irrational fear that the flight attendants always think I am engaging in a Brave Fight Against UTIs or something.)

I've never cared much for RC, but the SO* is a big fan of RC Edge and still keeps a hoard of it that he acquired right before it stopped prduction. I don't entirely grok hoarding soda, especially since he hasn't actually drunken any of this stuff since I've been aware of it, but hey, whatever works...

* Feel free to substitute a synonym for "male object of affection" of your choice if you think "SO" is too PC-sounding.

A Cox, you've got some very specific tastes.

Would you like a ginger ale?  No, we're not flying.

What does Aspertame have to do with anything.  All of RC's diet products use Splenda.

Also, I am addicted to Aspertame.

Well I'm talking about like 1987 and I thought that Splenda wasn't around until a couple of years ago

I almost always order ginger ale on a plane. Also, bourbon.

jesus h christ on a motorcycle being chased by a calvacade of hell's angels!

do none of you got-damned yankee's drink Cheerwine?

it is, in fact, the nectar of the gods. and only bottled right here in North Carolina.


I am also looking forward to this restaurant in St Louis... its like one of those brewery-restaurants, except they make their own sodas. They're all high-quality, and a reasonable price gets you a mug. The mug can be refilled with any of their fine sodas which you choose.

From one NC resident to another: Well said, sir.  I take it you have also sampled Food Lion brand Cheerwine Sherbet.

Because Lord knows I haven't.  Nor have I had Sundrop Swirl ice cream, another softdrink-flavored frozen treat exclusively available at Food Lion stores in the Southland.  (Food Lion, you may remember, is an NC-based grocery store chain, made briefly famous for an ABC "Prime Time Live" segment that "accused the supermarket chain of selling rat-gnawed cheese, expired meat, and old giraffe and ham that had been washed in bleach to kill its smell."

Also from North Carolina: Texas Pete hot sauce, Krispy Kreme donuts, and Ava Gardner.  So, you know.
