Chicago regional - Green River lime flavored soda. I drink the diet version.

Comes in 1 liter plastic bottles, though occasionally the regular version appears in glass bottles. Haven't seen that for a while though.

I just couldn’t resist. Thank goodness this is winding down or I might have to resort to the great debate ended “because I said so”.

I grew up in Waukegan Il., not far from the Wisconsin border. I somewhat remember Jolly Good, in our town there was a local bottling company called Glen Rock, we bought that most often became it was cheaper than Coke or Pepsi.

Jolly Good was the best as a kid. They had like a dozen different flavors and were sold in stores individually. Just flat cases of loose cans. We would go to the store and each get to pick 2-3 cans of whatever flavor we wanted. It was like a soda dream world.

Sour Power, Grape, and the occasional Cream Soda. Good times.

I worked in a grocery store for a while. I used to get assigned sorting the returned soda bottles in the bottles room. Handling many sticky bottles making the 6 packs consistent for return to the drink vendors, not fun.

However, I always did a good job and did it quickly so I always ended up the first choice.

Question?

Did anyone ever try 'Rum and TAB' a second time?

I heard of Tab, think sorting random soda bottles in the back of a grocery store, but never bothered to taste it, with or without a mixer.

Well, I've had TAB but thought it sucked.

Getting back into pedantic mode, it is TaB, not TAB nor Tab, as I spelled it.

Since Coca-Cola replaced it with Diet Coke perhaps rum and Diet Coke is the equivalent?

Yep, Squirt and Vernon’s, remember them both (I grew up in northern Illinois, had relatives from the Upper Peninsula in Michigan).

Yes, I enjoyed Squirt and can still get it, but haven't seen Wink (which I also enjoyed) for quite a while.

I have always really liked the flavor of Cherry 7-Up. There used to be a soda called "Slice" that I really liked.

I miss the carbonated Canada Dry Collins Mixer. I used to drink it as a child (just the mix), but would love it now for my Tom Collins.
