Re: DRIB: Vernors / Stewart's



Mmmmm, Stewart's.  I grew up (partially) in upstate NY around Albany, where
Stewart's runs convenience stores, and always thought of their soda and ice
cream and so on as the 'generic' brand (albeit a very good one).  It was
also, being the generic brand, dirt cheap.  Then I moved south where there
are no Stewart's stores and discovered, much to my amusement, that Stewart's
was considered a premium soda down here, and priced accordingly.

There is a coffeeshop two blocks away that somehow has Stewart's root beer
in these short bottles with wide mason-jar mouths and which will make you a
root beer float right in the bottle.  The orange creme is the best, though.
