My go-to drink in the 1970s after a hard day of riding my Schwinn Stingray:

I prefer Dr Pepper. I once spent a month in the Irvine area for work. I often tried to order Dr Pepper at lunch or dinner. I only ever found one place that had Dr Pepper. Every place else had Mr Pibb.

Try ordering sweet tea at a Ruby Tuesday's in Tom's River, New Jersey. Come to find out, it can't be done.

Sweet tea is, I'm pretty sure, pretty much only readily available in the southeast.

My family recipe is 2 cups of sugar per gallon of tea

Photo full of retro!


The only time that I drink it is when I visit my mom, and the only time that she makes it is when I visit. But when I was growing up, it was a staple at home and my mom's family who are all southern.

Generous people too. I spent $5MM of their money in 100 microseconds a few years ago. I think that works to $180 trillion/hr

Yeah, I didn't realize that. After the waitress left, some people at the table next to us leaned over and said, "Are you guys from the South? We've never heard of anyone ordering sweet tea before!". It's like were we from Australia or something.

This is worth a click to see someone get a little bit of comeupance without getting killed.

Here in SW WI tri-state area it is available sweet everywhere and I have to request it unsweetened.



When were you at my mom's to take that picture?

Would hoping that resulted in more than 1st degree burns make me a bad person?

A property owner cut his neighbors garage in half with a Saws all because it intruded over the property line.
