Southerners and Soda

Growing up in the south, I never developed a taste for wine. I did, however, develop an appreciation of soda pop that can reach the level of obsession.

I don't want a wine cellar. I want an unlimited supply of regional varietals like SunDrop, Cheerwine, IBC, and Nehi.

As the major companies come out with a wider variety of choices; Coke with Lime, Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi, Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, smaller independents are pushed farther off the shelves of most stores. I like the new options but I miss the old days and the old tastes that remind me of youth and childhood memories.
