Fresca is the numero uno drink to accompany a machine made cigar.

Fresca goes well with frozen pizza, too, and St. Bernard dogs carry it around their necks in the Alps.

Freezy Fresca. It's grapefruit flavored.

Morey Amsterdam drank Fresca? I knew he and Dick were meerschaum men, much to Rose Marie's chagrin, but I didn't know he was a fan of Freezy! Was it Fresca that gave Rose Marie that certain je ne sais quoi? I'll bet Buddy's pipe had a hand in it or vice versa.

The umpire was Sid Melton, not Morey Amsterdam. Don't put me on your foe list!

Right you are sir! I'm embarrassed to say the least. As for your request... To put you on my foe list, I would first have to take you off said list and then put you back on. That would just take to much of my time, so consider yourself safe... for now.

I found this the other day in the same market that I buy things like cod liver and Bulgarian sheep milk cheese, and Indian sides and spicy Asian sauces...kvass.
Anyone of Lithuanian descent out there ever tried this? It's described as a rye & barley soda flavored with caraway seeds. It's not bad, actually, sorta 'farmy' tasting...

That is a good find. I doubt I will find it in New Orleans but my eyes are now peeled. I know some places that might sell this, but, I doubt it. I am on the hunt. Thanks for the tip.

Sounds like something I'd like to try, if I ever stumble across it.

It must be good. It won three medals.

Hopefully not farmy in the same way that perique rings the barnyard bell

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.
