For whatever reason, I really like the Shasta lemon-lime—it tastes limier, I guess.

We had the "Pop Shoppe" in my hometown when I was a kid (late 70s early 80s) and I thought it was really cool that you could mix and match flavors (even though I never picked anything more exotic than orange). Then you returned the empties for the deposit.
A friend turned up a case of the old bottles and I was…

Kettle is good when I want a more generic version of Art & Mary's.

If they could get Clint Eastwood to play this guy's lawyer—skeptical at first, but slowly realizing just how deep this conspiracy goes until he's sacrificing everything to fight for his client—I would totally be there.

At last we see the true face . . . of the Star Whackers.

Yep, you gotta get it in writing.  That's why I get a nickel whenever somebody uses the word "crud."
