Manhattan Special Gassossa?  Anyone?

I don't know how far they distribute.

[JorgeFabregas]

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.

Mice named Ralph ride motorcycles.

[JorgeFabregas]

Don't tell that to Beverly Cleary.

Oh fuck! I should've held my tongue.

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.

I have reason to believe that you are referring to Fitz's, the best damn tiny soda maker ever.  (The sodas aren't tiny, but they're a relatively tiny presence, nationally.)  You're doing well to be looking forward to them, since they're AWESOME.  The food at the restaurant isn't much, but they have 2 bars - an alcohol-type bar upstairs with the pool tables, and the Fitz's bar downstairs with like 15 awesome varieties of Fitz's sodas.  They're all just delicious.  UPS me some after I move, won't you?

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

It's not even that I have specific tastes - it's just that...no one else ever offers it.  I don't really think about it until the flight attendant is like, "Coke?  Sprite?  Ginger Ale?" and all of a sudden I'm like, "Yeah, ginger ale!  Exactly!"

As a side note to all in regard to ginger ale and plane rides: I was always raised to suck on a piece of actual Ginger or a Ginger candy on plane and boat rides as it is a natural anti-nausea agent, and this is also why one is encouraged to drink Ginger Ale should they have food poisoning, as I once did.

Also, in regard to RC Cola, I have had cans of RC Cola that are half empty, and also ones that are totally uncarbonated.  Fascinating.  I haven't had RC Cola in years, but the convienince store near the first apartment my SO and I shared about 3 1/2 yrd ago had "three for a dollar" RC Cola's so my SO and I would occasionally get these and marvel at the varied quality of each can, sipping from each other's cans to confirm that they do indeed differ in distinct ways.

Wouldn't it be great if they actually did made tiny sodas? Tiny sodas in tiny cans?

[jough]

What about those little wax soda bottles with the flavoured sugar water inside?

I was at a taqueria yesterday that had champagne soda. I stared at it in disbelief while waiting for my burrito.

Wow.  I've had sangria soda at a taqueria before, but this seems almost stranger.

[side_show]

So, was it so bubbly that it was mostly air?  Cause the defining thing about champagne is bubbles, and the defining thing about soda is... bubbles.  Did it have alcohol in it?  I am confused by Champagne Soda.  WTF?

[wombat]

I stared at it in disbelief while waiting for my burrito.

You mean you didn't order it?  Oh, Cort, what about education?

[CortJstr]

They also had sangria soda. I considered ordering it just to taste it but I felt really out of place. I was the only person speaking english, the two guys in front of me both ordered tongue tacos, and when I asked for no sour cream the guy looked like I'd insulted him. So I just wanted to get my burrito and go. It was sitting right next to a pineapple/piņa soda and looked almost identical but was a little lighter in color.

Good burrito, though.

[edit: damn homophones!]

Sangria soda is good.  At least one brand is, the other I tried was nasty.  It's not all that exotic, really, kind of cola-y and fruity.

I would love to go to a place that has tongue tacos but I assume you're going to tell me it's somewhere in Northern Virginia, where I never go anymore?

Indeed. It's in Arlington on Washington Blvd diagonal from Talllula, a really good place for wine. I went because I had yesterday off and one of the GOG's in the Post said it was a good place for a cheap counter-service lunch and he was right.

[pmcd9]

I would totally eat a tongue taco, but i'll pass on the brain tacos thank you.

That is my kind of taco stand.  I'm thinking they won't have much mexican food in Price Utah.
