YES!

It's so, so good. I gasped when I saw this posting. Gasped in joy.

"Love me some...."

Whoever thought up this wretched phrase?

It's worse than "....... whatever."

Oh well, whatever. Thanks for the tip on the ginger ale. I'll have to try it so I can love me some too.

The grocery store near me has both. They order it in limited supplies however. It goes really fast. I have asked them over and over to stock more. Hopefully they will.

What company makes it? No idea if my area would have something like that. But it does sound good.

>The role of the joyless nanny/pedantic grammarian will be played today by Addison D.<

Do yourselves a favor and buy some green tea and some ginger. Make a pitcher of hot tea, steep with some shaved ginger and then refrigerate. If it's not sweet enough, add some agave nectar while it's hot.

Sugary sodas, in addition to being an obscene waste of money, have been shown in multiple, long-range studies to contribute to higher risk of heart attack, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver disease and--especially in women--Osteoporosis. The sugary versions are big weight-gain culprits which puts them in the suspect category for heart disease, type-2 diabetes etc., etc., etc.

And SNAFU, I am hopeful that you will make a concentrated effort to stop using the word "hopefully" when what you mean to say is that you are hopeful.

Canada Dry.

I will express myself as I wish, thank-you.

Indeed--and I applaud you for your intention to do so.

Do you see, though, that you are describing the state of mind of the folks who work in the grocery store near you as being full of hope as they stock more?

I am pleased to think of these hard-working green-grocers (recent immigrants, I'll wager) as being full of optimism and faith in the future and/or their own, personal understanding of the deity as they go about their chores, but I don't see what their state of mind has to do with your hope that they will increase their inventory in Green tea gingerale.

Hpefully you will stop your lecture.

Lol. Done.

This stuff is very good. They also have a delicious cranberry ginger ale.

I can't tell if Addison is being serious.... but I cannot stand people who try to lecture others on the 'dangers' of drinking soda. I love soda, and I'm not going to stop!

I haven't tried the cranberry yet. That seems to sell out faster in my local shop.

Both sound good. Thanks for letting me know what brand it is. I'll look for it the next time I'm in the supermarket.

MMMMMM............I'm going to look for it too!

"I am pleased to think of these hard-working green-grocers (recent immigrants, I'll wager)..."

Not where I shop. Many are middle-aged, educated, skilled, and under-employed. They have lost their regular jobs and because of the recession and the many businesses that have shut down, they are working well below their earning potential.

That said, I loves me some green tea, so I tried the Canada Dry gingerale (thanks for starting this thread). I was a little aghast when I saw on the can that it contained 140 calories. It had a nice refreshing taste, but I'll probably just stick with drinking regular iced green tea and if I need a soda buzz with caffeine, I'll stick with Coke, LOL.
