Laszlo says he's going to enlist Rhetta (his wife) to help. She just gives
him one of those "looks". Bv)=

Tasting better than Mello Yello and Mount & Do is not a high bar to jump.

My Cola preference is, and always has been, Coca Cola. Pepsi is waaaaay
too sweet. And the other Colas not as tasty/zippy - altho Royal Crown is
"the best of the rest" and will do in a pinch.
My current carbonated favourite is A&W/7-UP's zero sugar Dr. Pepper &
Cream Soda which is wildly popular in this area and hard to find in the
stupormarkups.
