Glad to see the name used in that context, even if it's not legit (hope it is and they do a "commemorative Deplorable bottle&quot . Color the liquid yellow.

I once went to a restaurant on the San Francisco wharf, asked if they had Coke or Pepsi, and they said they served RC. That was the only time that ever happened to me!

Soda Stream runs out of gas. It's sweetened with Splenda instead of Aspartame and is quite nice.

I didn't know RC's diet (Diet Rite?) used Splenda so will check it out. I rather miss having a nice cold soda/pop now and then.

30. My RC Cola story
Wed May 31, 2017, 11:58 PM
May 2017

Back in 1965 the Beatles were coming to Comisky Park (Chicago) to play two shows. The tickets were $5.00 apiece, but I had no money and my father was laid off work so my parents couldn't give me any. At that time, RC Cola was running a contest; certain of the bottle caps had a money amount under them which you could take to the store and cash in. Well, as you can probably guess, I opened a bottle of RC Cola and, lo and behold, it had $10.00 under the cap. I cashed it in and bought a ticket for both shows. I was a happy high school sophomore in 1965 and have had a fondness for RC Cola to this day.

1/2 of bag is poured into the bottle (be sure to drink a little soda first to make space for them), shake, and drink the foam with the moon pie.

It's bizarre that this covfefe thing has taken off probably more than the Bowling Green Massacre.
