I can get the genuine Mexican Coca Cola in my neighborhood. I’m not much of a soda drinker but the occasional one can be refreshing. The other day I was out doing errands and made a stop at McDonalds for their $1.49 Coca Cola. I noticed that they ditched the plastic straw but the new paper one seemed, unlike some of them, to be quite sturdy. Kamala, it’s ok to ban plastic straws now.

Friend of a friend had one of those. It was nicknamed ‘The Antichrist’. It melted into a pool of chrome one day when a forest fire swept through.

J.D. likes Mountain Dew because, if you spill it, it doesn’t leave a stain on the couch.

I am already an International fan, I have a 1967 International pickup truck. I am already all in for Tim Walz and his having a 1979 International Scout just gives me one more reason to like him. Thanks for that bit of info.

For his next trick, Vance is going to make a big show of liking to eat pork rinds, pickle chips and deep fried twinkies.

I’m so old, the only acceptable soda to me was pre-corn syrup Coke which I bought from ice cold vending machines at gas stations on the back roads between Wilmington, Delaware and Wildwood, NJ in the hot, hot summer for 10 cents. During our one week in Wildwood, while working on my future skin cancers, I was treated to a six pack of Yoo-Hoo’s whose ingredient list was probably 1/10 as long as it is today.
From the same era, I really liked the birch beers we got on our annual trips to the Pagoda in Reading, PA.
At home, it was 7 Ups and ginger ale which were fine.

Old friend of mine would drink 2 liter bottles of Mountain Dew like it was the elixir of life.
I am a canned Coke Zero guy myself (used to be regular Coke back in the day).

I would be the biggest coffee junkie in the world if it tasted 1/100th the way it smells.
Smells like heaven.
Tastes like brown cayon.

When I was a business/liberal arts undergraduate student in the early eighties I wrote a paper about the demise of International Harvester, particularly their light truck line which consisted of the pickup trucks and the Scout.
The Navistar brand became their large truck line.
One of the major points was how they missed out on the emerging SUV market when they dropped the International Scout and Traveler in 1980.

My sister’s family vehicle back in the late 70’s was an International Travelall. It had two gas tanks, and needed both of them.

My mom was a 7UP drinker.
Still associate it with her, and the sonorous voice of Geoffrey Holder doing the un-cola commercials.

It must have been the switch to corn syrup. When I was young and soda was a huge treat (or pop, as I grew accustomed to saying when I lived in Minnesota), I loved coke. Years later, I found I didn’t like it. Talk above about the “real sugar” in “Mexican coke” first got me thinking, maybe Coke switched to corn syrup? Corn syrup is fine in some things – necessary in some things (like hot fudge sauce – in addition to cane or beet sugar – for reasons of texture and setting properly). But corn syrup ruins so many bought sweets, like brownies and chocolate chip cookies.
