A world without Fresca would be like a world without sunshine.
I really liked the Fresca with sugar, but they stopped making it years ago. Iiked Tab when I was little, but when they changed it from cyclamate to saccharine I couldn't drink it any more.
How do you feel about Squirt, which is also grapefruit flavored? :buddy:
The new Fresca is good.

Dr Pepper was created here, but it's gone to NYC or China. The way the company played with the local bottlers, we won't claim them any more, though we still drink it. Iced tea is more popular anyway.
Just curious, but what's wrong with Texarkana? I much prefer it to Beaumont.
Don't be throwing no shade on Beaumont. :(
Beaumont has plenty of shade last time I was there. I still can't see what you are attracted to.
God and Texas!

You're not wrong. We've sworn off aspartame and Splenda and the like, but for grapefruit soda fans this is good.

Now we're enjoying this

It's good. Really good if you give it time and have been away from soda for a long while. Is it Coke? Pepsi? Nope, but it's a good cola. It's kinda like black bean burgers. If you go in thinking it's a hamburger, you're going to be disappointed. But enjoy it for what it is and black bean burgers can be really, really good. So is this.

When did I become a hippie?

Hippies are dirty. They don't wax their mustaches. Hipsters wax their mustaches.

Not all hippies are dirty. I bathe regularly
