LOL Preferring something , anything, to Wonderbread is not being a food snob. I
was raised on home made bread and have an a bakery in town where I can buy
excellent Italian bread. I keep some sliced whole wheat in the freezer to make
sandwiches and as an emergency bread supply. I get the stuff from the grocery
store bakery or a better quality manufactured bread.
Hell would freeze over before I ever bought Wonderbread, and I don't care how
much cheaper it is. It isn't bread.

I rarely drink colas, but my preference is Pepsi.

My wife claims that the store brand / generic soda water is not as good as
Canada Dry or Schwepps. I am not crazy about their flavoured soda pops, but I
really can't tell any difference with Soda water.
