Not everywhere. I grew up in Medina County. Never heard of a pierogie until I moved to L.A.

Hi everyone

I live in the UK and came across SD purely by chance today.

If it’s of any interest; Sarsaparilla is very popular in the UK and is sold by all the major supermarket chains, as well as being produced by small local manufacturers. It’s history goes back to the 1800’s here and is popular for ice cream sodas.
