Iced tea with lemon and sugar is my drink. Cylon would go broke without me. ---

I can’t believe I forgot, my favorite soda in the whole world is Orangina. It’s so good but it’s really hard to find around here. In Europe I hear you can find it anywhere though. -j-u-l-i-e- :o) p.s. garfield I like Jones too, especially the apple. But the bubble gum is really gross. ---

Lately I’m hooked on an odd drink called **DrinkBarli Green Apple Drink**. Comes in a bottle the shape of a Bear (I bought it first at my daughter’s begging), and says it’s “Made in Austria Europe”. They have such different flavors there. When I was in Wein, I loved the drink made of cabbage. But it didn’t taste like saurkraut, but very much like 7-up. ---

I mostly like seltzer, mostly. They all sort of taste the same, so brand doesn’t really matter, although lemon lime flavored is the best. Cream soda is good, too. I love ginger ale, but I’ve never had the kind that gets you high on the fumes. Orangina is pretty good. It’s rare and costs a lot here, though. ## Some people like to drink chocolate milk mixed with diet coke, a grim fact of which I was reminded today. That is just gross. “im trippin my nutsak in a frensy of dikplay” -Little Billy Keane ---

I’d forgotten. Its called 50/50. I can’t find it west here, but I had it in the East. ANyone ever had 50/50? It’s very grapefruity. half and half? Its marketed by Nantucket Nectars, they are spreading cross country but available everywhere on the east coast. The best though is Nantucket Nectars Orange Mango, I get it by the case. ---

Irn Bru (pronouncd Iron Brew) marketed as Scotland’s other national drink. Rumoured to cure hangovers, they are now mixing it direct with whisky. The website is pretty cool [http://www.irn-bru.co.uk/index.asp](http://www.irn-bru.co.uk/index.asp) ---

Creme soda, the good kind that’s only sold in glass bottles (IBC, for instance). Likewise on bottled root beers. If the question isn’t limited to pops, then I’ll also add Shirley Temples. ---

Vernors is the best. Stewart’s Orange Creme or whatever is good too. ---

One of my all time favorites I have only had once. It was Peach Crush. Just like Orange Crush, but peach flavored. I only found it in Alamagordo, New Mexico a few years ago while on a camping trip. No one I have asked here in Colorado can find it to special order. I just recently found Stewarts Peach Soda and that is good, but a little to sweet. Stewarts Ginger Beer is most excellent also. ---

IBC root beer Sunkist Orange Sprite, on ice Big Red, sometimes I _just_ tried Stewart’s Creme soda yesterday. Pretty good stuff. For some reason, it hinted of a root beer float to me. Nestea lemon flavored Iced Tea. ---
