You know what's wrong with this country? We don't sell Welch's Sparkling Grape Soda. Do we even have ANY grape soda? I shall have to investigate tomorrow, before the insane all-nighter Steph and I are going to pull.

And dammit, I need more obscure and centuries-old esoteric texts in my personal library.

have you ever HAD welch's grape soda?

[notfudge.livejournal.com]

Yes. She/we get it from the lolly shop in lygon street.
So neeer.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Yes. Several times. First had it for Thanksgiving a couple of years back.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Or from USA Foods.

I ALSO GOT A CAN OF CHERRY TANGO TODAY! WHEE!

[rincemaj.livejournal.com]

*sings* Hooooooonnesty, is hardly ever heard/and mostly what I need from yoooooooouuuuu....

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Don't! That's one of my least favourites! (Although it's amusing if you find out Liberty's original filler lyrics ... Soooooodomyy)

So are all soft drinks. They're just empty calories with no redeeming nutritional value whatsoever.

[rincemaj.livejournal.com]

yeah but even by soft drink standards welch's grape is sickly sweet (and that's saying something).

[rincemaj.livejournal.com]

I didn't think anyone but us yanks ever shopped there! lol

[celeloriel.livejournal.com]

Sorry. I figured it'd get "temptation" out of your head.

*giggles* Awful. But I can imagine a club in the 70s getting all soulful about it, in that drunken sarcastic way.

Fanta.

Is there grape fanta? I thought there was just mixed berry or wildberry or something and orange and pineapple and lime.

...I can't believe I can name the flavours beyond orange.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Well, I like it. And it's not as though I drink soft drink often, or even drink Welch's often.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

I don't go often - no money - but I got introduced to it by an expat Yank and her then-partner the thanksgiving before last.

Heh. Saw an interview with Billy Joel, and he said when they first played it in studio, he hadn't written words yet, so Liberty (the drummer?) made up his own words, because he needed words to know where he was in the piece. He overheard Liberty's vocals from the drum mike and realised he really needed to write lyrics, NOW.

Reason 2389734 why my country sucks:
We have no grape fanta. I looked.

[celeloriel.livejournal.com]

*laughs and laughs* That's a fantastic story. (out of your head yet?)

[celeloriel.livejournal.com]

*nods sagely* Blame the Fanta girls.
