I had a Dr. Brown’s this weekend. Bought it at a butcher/grocery store. Black cherry, too! ---

We have Faygo brand sodas here in the Detroit region, and oh they are so wonderful. I had no idea Vernor’s as a more regional thing, though. ---

Faygo is really good stuff. I was introduced to it by a friend who is originally from Michigan. We buy it all the time at BevMo. ---

[QUOTE=vetbridge] Welcome to Pennsylvania. ☹ The [Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board](http://www.lcb.state.pa.us/webapp/Product_Management/psi_ProductListPage_Inter.asp?searchPhrase=Cachaca&selTyp=&selTypS=0&selTypW=0&selTypA=0&Cost1=&accessory=on&chairman=on&closeout=on&holiday=on&limited=on&onetime=on&outlet=on&powerpur=on®ular=on&slo=on&specialty=on&searchCode=&psiSB=brnd&psiSD=ASC&submit=SEARCH) is far from consumer friendly, IMHO. They list their catalogue online, and it looks like they have some available, but I check every so often, and nada. [/QUOTE] Eek. You want some? I’ll ship it to you. ---

When I was in Kenya I discovered Black Currant Fanta. I got back to the States, and would always get excited when I saw a purple colored Fanta bottle, until I realized it was another grape monstrosity. It seemed very popular there, but all I know for sure is that I miss it. ---

[QUOTE=gonzomax] Vernors ginger ale is a Detroit drink. I do not know how far it travels. Strangely it is used in Boston Coolers. Vanilla Ice Cream and Vernors. [/QUOTE] We’ve got Vernor’s in most of the grocery stores in western Washington, and I love it to pieces. It’s a little bit harder to get in Missoula, or at least it is on my college campus, which is normally a great place for drinks- the rumor is that the Market (the mini-grocery store in the U.C.) has the biggest drink selection in western Montana, and I’d believe it.
