In my neck of the woods ( NW Tennessee, 30 years ago) a proper suicide had to have every drink available in the machine. The risk of weird flavors is why it had a sense of danger, and that name.

And a splash of lemon or lime juice is delicious in a Coca-Cola or a tea, sweet or unsweet.

That’s still one of my simpler joys in life. There’s a 7-11 near our house that sells 99c Humungo-Gulps.

“ **_ON SALE!_ 64oz of ‘Sparkling’ Beverage for well, a little over a buck** _(with tax)_”…

though it’s always on sale…
