Still better than Schweppes.
It’s still in the fridge. It helps me with some digestive problems.

Vernors is better anyway. When I was a kid it was our go-to beverage for the flu.

I read many years ago that Eastern Oregon was depopulated when a number of billboards urging people to “Drink Canada Dry” went up, and most of the population headed North to try.
(This was in a very funny book full of Oregon jokes whose name escapes me).

I buy Reeds Ginger Beer - 17 grams of fresh ginger root in every bottle. Tastes great. Real sugar - no corn syrup.

Love ginger ale. Prefer it over coke or sprite. Always buy Canada dry. Guess I will be getting 5.20.

Yeah, seriously. I've most definitely bought more than $40 worth of C.D. ginger ale over the past few years, but what kind of pack rat keeps supermarket receipts on a long-term basis? Oh, well, guess I'll have to be content with the fiver.
On a side note, anyone else remember 35ish years ago when Canada Dry had a very tasty orange soda?
To: rickmichaels
$40, huh? How much do the lawyers get?

Wouldnt the egg shells make the Dr Pepper taste funny?
I could maybe see putting a scoop of vanilla ice cream in it to make a float, but egg shells?
Theres no good that comes from putting egg shells in Dr Pepper.

I don’t remember an orange one, but I do remember the bitter lemon. It was mostly used as a drink mixer, but I used to love it as a kid. Last time I was in Europe, I found it, but I haven’t seen it here in many years.
To: rickmichaels
according to the proposed settlement, which does not apply to Canadian salesAs per usual. The ginger ale does have a trace amount of ginger but in terms of the spirit of the claim it is misleading. American lawyers get on the case and of course only they are the winners in all this.

When I was a kid, my favorite pop was Collin’s Mixer. I wonder if it’s even available these days . . .
To: gcparent
Well, if it takes my Kroger Card purchase history as proof of purchase, I might be able to get more than $5.20....

It was a science experiment for my kids in elementary school or middle school. The eggs are the closet to calcium in our teeth. The eggs were emptied of contents. Dr pepper deteriorated the eggs worse than coke, orange juice and a few other liquids over the course of severalbweeks.

Surprisingly, i found a bottle in my fridge a few weeks ago so yes they still sell it. I loved those tall tom collins glasses my parents had growing up.
