OT - It's a NC/Southern Thing -- The History of Cheerwine

Very good read on one of my favorite drinks. If you have never tried one and you're in the South somewhere, ask for it to see if they have it.

Good read. Kinda reminds me of the affinity locals in Gastonia have for Sundrop.

Good read. Cheerwine is good. I consider it local even from Charlotte... Had some today.

Yeah, I'd say so. Salisbury is fairly close to us, so I consider it local as well.

Had some the other night at Speedy's. They have it on fountain!

Cheer wine is great. Drank it all the time when I spent time in SC for work. Good read!

Or Bleheim Ginger Ale. Used to drive by there on the way to the big city of Bennetsville.

Cheerwine is the only soda I drink. That, Sun Drop and Nehi Grape, sodas of my youth.

Never heard of that brand of ginger ale before.

I like a Nehi too, but prefer orange.

We go through Bennettsville on the way to Myrtle Beach. I'll have to try and source some.

Of course the GA mainstay is coca cola, but we also had Royal Crown Cola which was of course paired with a Moon Pie.

Now I prefer Crown Royal, not local.

I forgot to add that one.
