    Regular readers of my email list know that I have an oversized affection for Coke.  Pepsi just doesn't do it for me.  It has to be Coke, cold in a can or fresh and fizzy from a fountain.  I can't help but wonder about those first Coke attempts by pharmacist John Pemberton, using kola nuts and coca leaves.  At least for me, there sure is something addictive in the stuff.

    But there are other colas....locally made craft colas and a  candy store in my town sells hundreds of them.

    This cola, ice cold and in a glass bottle, was very good. At $2.50 for the bottle, though, it was a bit pricey for something that was gone in a couple gulps.  This soda is made in Texas.  Have any of our readers tried this? 

     

    The Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch have long been known for their homemade root beers and other concoctions.  This Pennsylvania Dutch birch beer had a very refreshing taste.
