Anyone else alone for the holidays want to hang here?

I was driving home from work one cloudy dreary day in a town several hundred miles from everybody I knew, listening to a college radio station and drinking orange Crush from a glass bottle when the dj says "this one's gonna be huge some day" and played Clocks. Holy cow!!!! I still get goose bumps thinking about that.

That whole album "Rush of Blood to the Head" was fabulous. Not long after that Coldplay came out with a live album that was also wonderful.


Here ya go Sween. Happy New Year

Bonus story:
I was working on a bridge project one night feeling all busted up from a dame breaking my heart, and while gazing at city lights twinkling off the river another college radio station debuted "beautiful day". Man tears welled up on that one.

I knew all would be well after hearing that song.
When he sang "what you don't have you don't need it now" really meant a lot that night.

Ok now I must. Listen to a Coldplay song I'll admit never did before. I'm more into speed metal or doom metal or metal lol

Oh, so I'm not the only orange soda fan.. I haven't bought orange Crush in awhile, but I have some orange Sunkist in the fridge right now.

Every day is a gift. Sometimes it's an ill fitting itchy sweater from a confused older relative, but it's still a gift!

Yes indeed.

I hadn't had soda from a glass bottle since I was a kid @ampdude.

I changed my avatar because @knucklegary changed his. I thought about a Johnny Cash mugshot but chose the bike instead. It's a custom made reproduction of a 1940's bike truck like they used to use in factories.

Once in awhile I buy those cream sodas in the bottle. Sometimes orange soda. Can't remember what brand, comes in a 4 pack.

I haven't seen Sioux City Sarsaparilla in a long time.

I saw some sasaparilla in an Ace Hardware not long ago. Made by Sprecher. Sprecher root beer uses honey for sweetness. It's pretty yummy.

Sprecher is about an hour south of me*
The last two four-packs of soda I bought were their Cherry Cola when it was on sale at Menards, it's very good!

*Milwaukee was called Brew City years ago,,, many breweries

I've never had sasaparilla. What does it taste similar to?

There's a Menards a few blocks from here. I forgot, I might have to check out what they have in that.

From what I recall it was not as sweet as root beer but I believe Gerold Ford was president last time I had one.

Root beer or Birch beer.

 

[raggie33]

I love a good root beer I have like 40 gallons of it lol. Not even joking

 

[raggie33]

This is the stuff they use to make it lol I'm to cheap for the soda stream stuff lol

Hahahaha holy crap. Where do you get that? Oh.. it's syrup.. how do you make it without a soda stream?

 

[raggie33]

Some online place I think it's called webresunuat . Way cheaper and less heavy to carry since the water is left out lol. Even cheaper if you use welding store co2 gas if I recalll its all food grade but I may be wrong

 

[raggie33]

U can also go to most store and get the powder flavor stuff it's sugar free but cheap . But my advice if you go this route premix the powder with cold water before ya add it to the carbed water
