Red
Drink
An anonymous correspondent asks: My wife thinks Pop Rouge was a strawberry soda, and I believe it was red creme soda. Who is correct? Tom sez: First of all, in all matters your wife is always right. Surely you've learned this by now. However, just between you and me, in an actual blind tasting conducted at Time Saver #4 in 1967, we (I and the other guy I worked with) decided that Pop Rouge did not taste like strawberries. However, no other red drink did, either. We also found that it did not taste much like Barq's Red Creme Soda, the standard of the genre. I'm afraid you'll have to find something else to think about. Like how to avoid contradicting your wife without performing a virtual lobotomy on yourself. Revised 3/10/08 Copyright © 2008 Tom Fitzmorris. All rights reserved. |
