To me the best sodas I can remember were well before coke became new coke, then back to original coke which never was quite the same no matter what they say. Go to an old country store, drop in 25 cents, pull open that tall skinny door, and pull like heck to get out that danged 8oz bottle of coca cola. Slide it under the bottle opener and PFFT. Sit back and just enjoy. Werent nothing like lunch break in the backer fields, loading up on the back of the pickup, head down to the store, drop a quarter for a coke, 2 dimes for a bag of chips, and 50 cents for a bologna and cheese sammich, and listen to all the ol farts tell who had the better looking crop, who caught the biggest fish, killed the biggest and/or the most deer, who had the best hounds in the county, or whatever tall tale they could come up with on a given day and even that changed from day to day. I have always said that I was born about 25 years too late. It is amazing how times have changed and things I got to experience my son will never get to.
Anyways a ice cold ski is hard to beat too and it is amazing that once you get out of this general area and ask for a ski the wierd looks that folks give you so I would imagine that would be the case with some of you other guys local beverages too.
