Softdrink Rant/Discussion/Whatever

Sprite and Pepsi are my drinks of choice.

 

You know y'all want some Faygo. Yeah ...

 

Or this:



This is some good stuff.

 

You officially have no taste.

It tastes like swamp water that has been pissed in then heated up then frozen then thawed.

 

I will kill anyone who mentions Dr. Enuff.

 

The coach I cover needs his perpetual glass of sweet tea surgically removed from his hand.

 

Summers are made for Corona and lime.

FB's thing about Coca Cola Slurpees reminds me of my shop's production manager. That's like his big 7-Eleven weakness. Of course, now it's been surpassed by a Mickey D's apple pie weakness </successful crossthread>

 

good enuff.

 

I have no idea what that is. I'm also fairly certain you've never had a Dr. Enuff. It's only available in the mid-South/mid-Atlantic region.

And it's disgusting.

 

Dr Thunder is the Sam's Choice/Wal-Mart ripoff of Dr Pepper, complete with lack of period.

However, it also has a lack of awesomeness.

 

amen, sister.

 

Buck -- you don't want the stuff delivered. You've gotta make it yourself if you want it to be right. Mass-produced won't cut it if you want the real deal.

For you (and those yanks that have no clue what we're even talking about) I've got a recipe.


For the syrup:
4 cups sugar
2 cups water

For tea:
4 cups water
8-10 regular-sized or 3 "family sized" bags orange pekoe tea (I use Lipton)
Pinch of baking soda
Additional water

Pour 2 cups of water and 4 cups of sugar into a saucepan and stir together. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and stir until thickened. Turn off heat and set aside.

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Turn off the heat. Tie the teabags to a wooden spoon and put them in the pan with that pinch of baking soda. Once it's as dark as you want it (and still hot) pull out the spoon/tea bags.

Stir 1 cup of your sugar syrup into the tea until it's blended. Pour the mixture into a 1 gallon glass or metal pitcher (plastic will make it taste off) and fill to the top with water. Stir and chill. Pour the remaining sugar syrup into a glass jar and cover.

Once the tea has cooled, you're ready to go. Of course, fill your glasses with a ton of ice and then use the syrup on the side to sweeten to taste.
