Hey! I LOVE Big Red! 
My mother thought it would be nice to send it to me from TX, but the shipping is expensive and sometimes a can would burst. Ugh.
Growing up in TX, when we would spend time at grandma’s house, I would always ask her for something to drink. She would say something like “well, milk is for breakfast, so have some Big Red.”
The bubble-gum pink flavor so thick you could almost chew it! And it is totally a jolt of caffiene.
Although most folks I grew up with preferred The Doctor Pepper vs. the Big Red.
No accounting for taste, you know.
