How about Nehi Orange?

Oh, that reminds me of a funny story.

Back in the 70s, my parents got moved up to the neighbourhood of Elmira, New York. Okay, Horseheads, which is worse...

Anyway, my youngest sister was still at home, my other sister was married, and I came visiting from grad school. My mom had discovered this bargain soft drink - Fawn Cola, bottled in Horseheads. It was 10 bottles for 88 cents at the convenience store.

Now here's where it gets good. When you brought the bottles back, they gave you 10 cents a bottle deposit.

Now, my mother argued with the girl in the store that this didn't make sense. They were paying us to drink it...

The girl was adamant that that was how it worked. So there.

We did quite well off Fawn Cola that year.

How funny! Nope, we can't find Nehi anymore here. That was good pop.

I have a mildly sprained ankle and have to get it up in the air. Later.

Ah. Be well, then.

It's much better.

Oh, good. The only time I ever sprained an ankle was when I jumped over a puddle back in college. Clumsy of me. I ended up with a cane for a week.

A good read. A film could be built around that library I am sure.
Good stuff.

Thanks.
