We’re all gonna die
Good choice
Actually, I looked it up to confirm. The soda fountain is actually just north of Loves Park, IL in Machesney Park, which is similar.
North Park Prescription Pharmacy
7924 N 2nd St, Machesney Park, IL 61115
This place has survived the neutron bomb known as CVS being placed across the street.
Kvass is far more popular
I had heard that said, but you know how people talk.
I'm all snakes and snails and puppydog's tails.
“Kvass is a fermented cereal-based low alcoholic beverage with a slightly cloudy appearance, light-brown colour and sweet-sour taste.”
Sounds like beer.
It’s odd that they’re using Roman letters, rather than Cyrillic.
Crazy Ivan Tea. Sounds like a Tom Clancy book.
I used to stick apples in the chicken wire for some of the birds. The apple juice are the wire.
Lots of fireweed on the hill. Might have to make some tea.
👍👍👍
My brief research indicates that fireweed is the same all around the northern hemisphere. Siberian or American.
Check out the medicinal qualities claimed for Siberian Fireweed. Cocaine as a medicinal stimulant, an alkaloid compound- was removed in 1903 and replaced with variously sourced alternative alkaloid of a similar chemical structure-— caffeine. Sourced from Kola nut, maybe or a citrate of caffeine included in the secret recipe.
As for Siberian Fireweed? Who knows. There have been conceptual beverages based on ghat— but who would drink it?
Also, very high quantities of guarana are in the “Charged Up “ tea sold by Panera (many times caffeine content of regular coffee... as an FYI).
Yeah. Apparently there was quite an industry in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska when it was in Russian control. Looks like the flowers can be made into jelly, probably the same way lilacs are used.

Putin is right more than wrong lately
Water is a chemical.
the relevant question is pesticide type and content found in the product. this isn’t just a russia thing, it is a worldwide tea thing.
before the starbucks merger one fund sent a whole slew of teavana teas to a lab to test for pesticides. what they came back with would stop some people from ever drinking tea again. (most tea is from india and china, so you can imagine the types of pesticides they found.)
