Loki:
Now that you ask, I think I only got it that one time from my local Döner place :D
bhtooefr:
Ugh, Vernors. Disgusting. (I believe it's a Michigan-and-surrounding-states thing.)
Re: having ginger in the ginger ale... this is where it's at (not exactly a conventional ginger ale, but I don't care): http://freshgingerale.com/
Water, sugar (and I mean sugar, not HFCS), ginger, citric acid. That's it. And I've got a barbecue place near me that carries 24 packs for $27.

Mountain Dew is carbonated, for one.

So is Lemonade, here.
--- Quote ---In Australia and New Zealand, lemonade usually refers to the clear, carbonated soft drink that other countries identify as having a lemon flavor such as Sprite.

It sounds like Australian and New Zealand Lemonade is basically the same as UK Lemonade, which bears no resemblance whatsoever to USAian Lemonade, as ZoeB said, more like Sprite or 7 Up.
It's interesting that Mountain Dew is available in Australia, since I've never seen it in the UK (although it's probably available from specialist shops).
Near Lurker:
Yeah... thing is, in the US, "squash" pretty much exclusively means "marrow." Or raquetball. Or what Veronica Vance does. And for that matter, "marrow" pretty much exclusively means the stuff in bones.

--- End quote ---
I've seen USA style lemonade sold as Traditional or Still Lemonade, obviously at a significant markup vs some random "own brand" lemonade, or even premium brands like R.Whites (starts humming "I'm a secret lemonade drinker, R.White's, R.Whites ...").
--- Quote from: Near Lurker on 28 Mar 2013, 00:10 ---"Lemon cordial"? That sounds like limoncello...
--- End quote ---
Limoncello is evil! It tastes like liquefied lemon Opal Fruits Starburst (damned globalisation and name changes), which is horribly misleading since it has got quite an alcoholic content, at around 30%! More than once in an Italian restaurant, where they've given us Limoncello as a free digestif, quite a few people seem to dislike the taste, so I've "helped out", by drinking there's for them. :-D
It's interesting to see Dale again. I've never liked him that much, since he doesn't seem to do or say much, and obviously he's Alliance Scum (ie not on Marigold's side). But on the other had, is there some booty on the horizon for Marigold?
