Dang 'ginnians...let me 'splain it one more time...
Peanuts go in Coca Cola.
You put cherry in Coca Cola for Cherry Coke.
Vanilla in Pepsi - for Vanilla Pespi
Royal Crown Cola [ RC] you don't put 'nuttin' in. You DO wash down Moon Pies with RC [ RC and Moon Pie].
Seven-Up [ 7up] is what you eat Crunchy Cheeto's with. And with Chocolate ice cream makes a 7-up Float.
Dr. Pepper in the winter heated with lemon added is great.
Root Beer is for Root Bear Floats.
Creme Soda is also used for Creme Soda Floats.
Grapette Is coming back!! Yippie. Makes a great Grapette moustache, and Grappette Floatette.
Now to keep the kiddies away from the really good homemade ice cream made with Peaches, Strawberries and such...
Orange Crush is to make Orange Ice Cream. To really Cheat - order the ice cream ball from LLBean.
Now this newfangled Diet, Ultra Diet, and Fru Fru is totally useless and not needed. The downfall of society and what is wrong with kids can be attributed to 1) no balcony in picture shows. 2) demise of drive-in picture shows, 3) all these worthless diet and whatever Cokes [ coke is what you call any of the aforementioned in the south - Yankees call it "pop" ...don't get me started...4) Plastic! You ain't supposed to put coke in Plastic!! That is WRONG!

Coke is coal with the by-products cooked out of it, used in blast furnaces to make steel. Pepsi is a soft drink, known as "pop".7UP is for sissies. RC is OK if there is no real "pop" available (see above).

I gotta agree, a nickel coke box is a great idea. Don't get one of those cooler-box types, though, with the flip-lid. Plastic coin slots in them can be hogged out so some people could use a nickel instead of a quarter to get them out. Learned that lesson at the church years ago, and they ended up replacing the box with a 'cheat-proof' model.

red sugar peanut patties
I still buy those...Re: RC
My deal is - I remember when Coca-Cola was a nickel. A red metal machine about so high, insert nickel, raise the sliding lid and the cylinder turned and one pulled out a 6 1/2 oz., REAL Coke - and always ice in the neck of the bottle...real bottle, thick, heavy - not this thin 10oz jobbie with fake coke in it.
Coke is wrong - they changed the formula - don't care what they say.
I mean it was a BIG deal when they went to a bigger glass bottle, price went up, and less and less nickel coke machines were seen. ONLY drink in that machine was COKE in 6 1/2 oz bottle.
I am taking notice one day about how many varieties of just Coke there are today. Then I take in all the varieties of other products like Pepsi.
I am standing there one day looking into this new Gee-Whiz Dispenser we have at College. I mean it is really cool to watch how this machine works...
I don't even see a plain Jane Drink of any kind in it. Not even the Orange juice...it had Guava, Mango , Kumquat or something blended it in...Water...not even plain water, it is flavored.
I had to run an errand over at the Admin bld where there is canteen with Human Beings behind the counter...I look into the Fridge, I do a double take, I snatch open that sucker and I have in my hands a RC. No bells - whistles, diet this, Kumquat that, - just a regular old simple RC.
Damn - it was sooo good. So I have started back on RC when I cannot find a regular DP.

That's the only place I've ever been that doens't serve Coke or Pepsi.
As for Pepsi, Coke, and RC all being coke, no. They're all cola. Only Coke is coke.
Coke used to have a trademark on the word Cola, as well, but they left Pepsi use it for years when Coke was the only big national soda. But when Pepsi started competing with them, Coke turned around and sued over the use of the word Cola, saying it was a trademark infringement. Pepsi countered with the argument that Coke had allowed the trademark to expire through benign neglect. Pepsi won. Moral of the story? You have to protect your intellectual property. If you don't, you'll lose it.

Well I quit the booze in '84. Been sober ever since.
NOW when I did drink - I drank. You gonna drink Whiskey, Bourbon - drink Whiskey or Bourbon - "Straight" none of that blended crap - don't care if it comes with a cool ditty bag.
Straight Bourbon Whiskey, ice cube, "maybe" a splash of water. Why screw up the booze and whatever mixer - by mixing? None of them damn umbrella drinks either.

Iced tea is the only way to go
Got a funny story about "tea".A few years ago, at a family bbq in NC (vinegar based sauce, peanuts in PEPSI), we were all sitting around, watching the hog cook, drinkin', etc. Well, towards the late afternoon, the few "teetotalers" in the family show up. We had to start pouring our beer in the same red cups that other folks were drinking sweet tea from. For the rest of the afternoon, we started referring to our beer as "tea". My cousin's boyfriend, who's from California and not totally up to speed on NC culture, remarked during a later family gathering that we must really like our tea. The poor boy had gone all day thinking we were drinking iced tea.
Ok, so it's not as funny in text, but it was hilarious in person. Anyhoo, he's assimilating quite well. My uncle has him out turkey and deer hunting now that he's married into the family. He, on the other hand, is bringing new culinary delights to our tables by virtue of his Hispanic heritage. Chris

Topic: Surgar.
Iced coffee is what I am having right now. I don't use much surgar at all. I buy the itty bitty bag, and my last one was 3 yrs old. I gave it to a neighbor save for a small mason jar amount I kept...in case I had a need later on.
I may be Southern, I don't put surgar in tea, or coffee. I drink them as is.
So I am at mom's. I got out the glass juicer to make limeade and lemonade. I use "Splenda" - mom says.
"Splenda who?"
Okay...how many types of sweetner do we really need ? What in the hell is wrong with real surgar? Granted I rarely use a sweetner....still...am I the only person that does not have to have everything "doctored" ?
I made my limeade and lemonade - I did not sweeten it. I ain't doing artifical sweetner. Actually quite good the limeade and lemonade straight up.

Personally, I don't add sugar to much either. I drink my coffee black unless I'm getting it from a gas station or Starbucks (moreso if from starbucks). I prefer unsweet tea as well. My wife, on the other hand, likes tea so sweet, it'll rot your teeth just looking at it. She's a prime candidate for artificial sweeteners, but she prefers sugar.

Now I have a serious question. Shooting Craps. Why were the numbers Seven and Eleven selected?
I have tried to find the answer over the years, and with the 'Net even conducted a Teoma search - still no definitive answer. Only one that makes any sense is "somehow" using statistics and probability those numbers are harder to get. I don't buy it. Using Probability - any of the numbers [ combo of die] would have the same statistics.
I think someone just picked two numbers at random, maybe the ages of kids or something and the numbers 7 and 11 just became the norm.

There is only one place to get BBQ from and that is from KC.
Heard a few months back that Coke is PO'ed at its Mexican distributer for selling their product in the US. It seems that they still use real sugar in making Coke in Mexico and corn syrup in the US. Several stores in the border states are importing Coke.
Post by: griz on July 08, 2005, 08:07:42 AM
I know incredibly little about craps, but I suspect the choice of 7 is because it's statistically the most likely number to get out of two dice. No idea at all about the 11. I'm sure the game is older than the store.
Post by: Guest on July 08, 2005, 08:12:32 AM
So why would 7 be more likely to come up than any other number?
I figure 7 may have been picked because 7 is supposed to be a lucky number.
Which begs the question - why is 7 considered a lucky number?
Biblical reference??
