Me: "What's wrong?"
Guard: "We're picking up a lot of organics and a lot of metals. And your backpack is REALLY heavy. What's in there?"
Me: "Two pounds of pastrami and 24 cans of Moxie."
Guard: "... what?"
Me: "Two pounds of pastrami and 24 cans of Moxie. I live in the South. I grew up here. I gotta stock up."
Guard opens bag.
Guard: "That's a lot of pastrami."
Me: "Yeah."
Guard: "That's a LOT of Moxie."
Me: "Yeah."
Guard: "All right, have a nice flight."

Also, brg30, have you checked places like movie theaters and fast-food places for Mr Pibb? In a lot of places (like Louisiana), it isn't available in cans or bottles because of Coca-Cola's distribution agreement w/ Dr Pepper, but they can still wholesale the syrup.

I also miss the sodas Snapple used to do (and maybe still do, just not here), long before the ads and the Seinfeld and so on -- clear cola in particular.

Frosty Rootbeer
Soho Soda
Rock Creek Soda
White Rock Soda

Moxie (in a variety of flavors) is available in a few specialty shoppes in California... in fact there is one joint on Market Street (near Gough) in San Francisco that sells a bunch of sodas I thought were extinct! The next time I am in that town I send the name through to this thread with a list of sodas they have on hand!

yeah yeah yeah! Walking around Mt. Pleasant! Madams Organ! Gotta blow your ears out, baby! I grew up in Shaw on Logan Circle... Woo woo! Rock Creek strawberry soda used to get me through those sweltering summers... also the lime! Good... fruity... and (most importantly) CHEAP!

Dee, I don't know where you are, but Damiano's in LA has Delaware Puncha and bunch of other obscure sodas. Maybe they can tell you where to get it. My old boss used to love it.

See, we're totally not living in a monoculture. We've all got different beverage access. (Note: I haven't read that thread. The voice you hear comes straight outta my ass.)

Here's a REAL obscure one - Pommac. Allegedly champagne flavored.

(I shouldn't dis anyone's soda, but it was the first thing I drank after a three-day bus ride in the middle of the summer. My mouth assembled a posse from the rest of my face, tried to beat the crap out of me, and I placated it with a Super Jumbo Fanta Red from McDonald's, which was like treating a headache by fucking yourself in the ass with a rock.)

But it wasn't a match for Cherry Crush. That stuff is carbonated Nyquil! It was my absolute favorite as a kid but I haven't seen it in probably 12 years.

Nicole: Jolt is all over the place, wtf?

I've never been to the Coke experience thing here in ATL, but from what I hear there's an opportunity to sample a bunch of Coke products from around the world until your belly is sloshing as you walk out the door. I may do it one day.

Went here and sat on the polar bear's lap, thankyouverymuch.

OG Corr's Ginseng Rush. This stuff had (has?) life-affirming qualities.

But don't take my word for it. Let's hear what the fine folks at Beverages Direct have to say.

"In 1978 it single-handedly created the natural beverage category – it was America’s first functional beverage. Twenty-three ingredients singing a song, at once enchanting and refreshing, still unmatched by any other drink."

Haven't seen it around here since, oh, late 90s.

that ginseng root's got as much subtlety as Joe Camel.

Bought some Grapette at Walmart the other day, btw. Much more subtle "grape" flavoring than I remember. Would drink again.

My glass bottle Nehi quest has been successful! I just happened to be in the BP station down the street from my house after filling up my car and noticed they sell it there. I'm currently indulging in a bottle of peach, but I'm saving the bottle of grape for later.

I wanna track down and drink a Delaware Punch in honor of Hank Gupton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaware_Punch

Vernors got nixed from all the American groceries I was fond of and I really havent seen it since. Maybe a decade ago. Does it exist? Wiki page says yeah, sure.

Here in Asia there is a Coca-Cola/coffee hybrid that is a much better cooperation between the two flavors than you'd ever expect. Sponsored Post.

Was it Barista Bros?

As a tourist, I unashamedly drank the shit out of this in Australia a few years ago.

Not read the thread through so may have said a few years ago a Schizandra based thing from I think Schweppes. Was around back in the mid 90s when I was in Dublin.
