Brevity by Dan Thompson for October 10, 2019

Anyone remember Bubble Up? I thought it was much better tasting than 7 Up.

It tastes like sea air…uh, mist.

I remember preferring Canada Dry.

For grins, we could slip him a Mentos when he isn’t looking. Worked great for Mr. coke!!!

My least favorite “citrus” soda has got to be “Squirt”. Grapefruit flavored soda?! Are you kidding me? I don’t even want to know what the diet Squirt tastes like.

My favorite memory with 7-up is sitting on the front porch of my grandparents’ house shaking the bottle with thumb on top, then releasing thumb.

Certainly took Moxie.

They probably knew his pop…

Crush

My mom used to use 7 Up instead of cold water when making Jello. Gave it just a ‘tang’ without making it sweeter. It was a basic ingredient in the ‘midwestern’ dinner: roast beef (or fried chicken), mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans (cooked with bacon), red Jello with bananas on the side, chocolate cake and butter frosting. Of course this was before we knew that everything on the table was unhealthy.

Hey, anybody got some coke?

The one on the bottom seems grapeful to see him/it.

Coca Cola went to town.

Pepsi Cola shot him down.

Dr. Pepper fixed him up,

and they got drunk on 7-UP.

Does anybody remember “Two-Way” (You like it; it likes you.")? It may have been only in Canada (and maybe it was “2-Way”).

I’ll take 7up any day.

What are they complaining about . . . they’re generic!
