Someone must have passed off a Canada Dry Ginger Ale on you when they didn't actually serve Vernors. A Vernors lover can tell the difference. I've had waitresses try this on me. Vernors is still very gingery in taste and color.

Which is rather unexpected.

Vernors Soda, The Original Ginger:
"Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Natural and Artificial
Flavors, Caramel Color, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative)"

Only had Vernors once about a month ago. Good ginger taste but too
sweet for me. I'll stick with Canada Dry.

Had a Cheerwine last week. It was a fountain drink at a sandwich shop I
stopped at. For those that may have never heard of it, similar to Mr.
Pibb.

And now all these new people can add their 0.02. What is your view on
the Canada Dry vs. Vernors dichotomy?

Yep. It has a nice taste, but it is way too sweet.

No idea.

Leo's ginger ale, and everybody else's

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 oh, say 4 inch ginger knob peeled and coined
8 oz. carbonated water

boil up first three ingredients until reduced by half, put liquid in a
cup and refrigerate.

Serve 2 tablespoons ginger concentrate in carbonated water. If too
sweet, dial back. If not too sweet, add more.

Ingredient list just for you:

sugar, water, carbon dioxide, ginger, sugar contaminants, water
contaminants, ginger contaminants

I had heard of it but didn't know the flavor. Never liked Mr. Pibb.

Clueless Google groups user. It happens all the time, and I doubt Mary will

But in the meantime, we're having an interesting discussion about
Canada Dry vs. Vernors vs. Don Leo.

Each has its place. I grew up drinking both. It's fairly unusual (although
not unknown) for someone who grew up very far from Detroit (say, more than
300 miles) to like it.

I am not sure why it bothers some people so much. It doesn't bother me,
so long as it is interesting. Depending on the post it could start a
discussion. If not, it's easy enough to ignore.

I agree with you there. Nothing wrong with an ancient subject
like that. Most people were not there and the ones that were have
forgotten any details. Old posts can be good for a "new" subject
now.

Heck, we current ones rehash a subject every year or two. Nothing
wrong with someone bringing one up after 10-20 years. It's new
again.
"Make subject new again"

Seems like only (a few of) the very long-time members here
complain.
