favorite childhood drinks you long since forgotten about

[inline4]

As i approached the vending machine here at work with my dollar in hand i was fully expecting an iced tea.

ALAS, Vending machine #2 does not accept my dollar. I venture to Vending machine #1 and see nothing of extreme interest. I would rather not have some carbination .. not to much caffeine, and i just had a sprite.. (only met 1 criteria but it was tasty)

I browse my selection choices and run accross YOOHOO..

my.. what a thought i haven't had yoohoo in ages (thats what i think) ((thats why i said "what a thought"))

i force my dollar into the machines mouth, and as it produces my 75 cents in change i press the button.

YOOHOO IS FANTASTIC i think..
i shake it on my short walk to my desk, throwing it about and acting much like Micheal J. Fox shaking vigurously.
Sit down, and await the goods.. I crack open the can, "PHOOSH" and take my first sip

oddly it tastes just like i remember.

I was transported to my younger days at the tender age of 10 running around at summer camp acting a fool and being made fun of by my brother and other kids for being fat and wearing thick glasses. I ignored these tauntints until my Yoohoo was gone. I then slowly and maticulously chose my victim and attacked beating them sensless...

Now, whatever you do, DONT GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH FOR YOOHOO

HHAHAHAHAHa

There is also a type of pop on the Island (Prince Edward Island) that you can only get there, and it comes in the old fashioned glass bottles (some weird law across canada against glass bottles- only province it didn't affect was PEI)

It was called Seamans pop... it's really amazing. Haven't had it in yearS!

If you're willing to get some tang, I'm sure Burger will be willing to video tape.

So you prefer drinking your Seamans out of a bottle?


I unfortunately can't contribute to this thread. I wasn't allowed to consume liquids as a child. "If God wanted you to drink liquids, you would have a straw for a mouth!" :rolleyes:

[BadMojo]

I miss Delaware punch. We can only get it around here every once in awhile.

My great grandmother and I would drink Tab and watch Jundge Whopner and the people's court in the afternoons when I got out of school.

I see Tab all the time now, but I don't thnk I want any.

I drank sweet tea constantly as a child. Then I realized that I didn't have a migraine all the time if I didn't drink the stuff. Withdrawal from that made me sad. I still miss my tea.

[Thorn Bird]

i would die without sweet tea. i can't go up to THOSE PARTS that don't have sweet tea at all. what the hell is that about?

You know what pisses me off? When you go somewhere that doesn't have sweet tea and they said, "but we have packets of sugar . . " WTF, thats not the same. Stupid mortals . . .

The only thing I really drank as a kid (aside from water and milk) was Kool aid. We'd have your standard pops as well, but never anything really fancy that stands out.

No, coke is a specific drink, pop encompasses all carbonated beverages silly.

Edit: You'll never convince me otherwise, out here we call it pop, that's just the way it is. I also drive Knyte crazy cause I've always referred to that compartment in the passenger side dashboard of the car as a "jockey box" and it will always be such.

Never heard "jockey box", but okay. We call concrete barriers on roads "Jersey walls" and that doesn't seem to be so common. People look at us like we are crazy when we say that around here.

Oh god, here in Boston it drives me crazy with some of the old-time locals saying "pawp" or "tawnic" in that delightful Southie accent :shudder:

I remember that crap. It's like, "Soda! Now with lumps!"


Oh.. and for the record:

Sweet tea sucks. It's brown fucking sugar water.

It's soda. It has always been soda. It will always be soda. Pop is incorrect. Coke is short for Coca-Cola.

Glove compartment is the correct term. Glove box is acceptable. Jockey box is where your penis goes when having sex with a short, female equestrian.

Jersey wall is the name for those stepped, narrow, trapezoidal barriers erected along roadways.

[Thorn Bird]

so what were those balls, anyway?

no no no. If you want to know what carbonated beverage someone wants, you ask, "You want a coke?" and they respond, "yeah, I'll take a Sprite."
