What I found to be bizarre was going to a town outside of Detroit,
picking up soda for Thanksgiving, get some of this that, whatever,
okay, how about ginger ale. Looking, looking, looking, no ginger ale.
Excuse me, where can I find the ginger ale? Confused looks all
around. You know, Canada Dry? More blank looks. Schwepp's?

Blew my mind that such a common soda wouldn't be sold everywhere.
