I searched for soda pop and North Carolina and located a product called Cheerwine.
I don’t know if it is just a brand licensing deal now, but it might be worth considering.
My kids sometimes drink Cheerwine, which is made in Salisbury, up the Interstate from Charlotte. It’s horrible, like carbonated red Kool-aid.
I’m switching to Coke. I normally drink enough Pepsi to affect their stock. Watch it go gone when I switch to Coke.
By all means drink Cheerwine (cherry flavored cola)! It’s as Southern as grits.
In the liberal rag called the Nashville Tennesseean there are cartoons which criticize enforcement of separation of the sexes in public restrooms, calling it `fascistic’!
OK, Mr./Mzzzz liberal cartoonist: send your little girl into the ladies’ room and stand outside quietly as an adult male barges in. Go ahead.
