[AT] OT NuGrape, Beeman's Pepsin Gum etc (Country Store)

[Bruce Fallon]

When I was a kid Vernors Ginger Ale was aged " Four " years in Oak Barrels 
then it became " for " years, then is became " Aged ", now it says the " The 
Original Ginger Soda ".  It had a lot more bite when I was a kid.  I lived 
in Toledo Ohio until 1963 after we moved west I didn't see it again until 
the late 70's then only in California.  They started bottling here in the 
Northwest probably in the early 90's
It is available in the stores now.

I prefer Vernors Ginger Ale or Dad's Root Beer myself but I'm from Michigan
where and when Verner's had REAL ginger in before Pepsi bought them out.  jg
