Hi Sean,


 RH> I know, when we were in Kentucky for an RV rally in 2018, at the pot
 RH> luck supper, there was an assortment of drinks. I told Steve to get me
 RH> something so he came back with Ale 8 One, diet (now Ale 8 Zero). That
 RH> was good, so we took home a box of 12. Got another box on our way home
 RH> from a western trip some years later, most recently one of the couple
 RH> in our neighborhood gave me a couple of boxes (We tend their dog on
 RH> some of their trips.) after a trip back to see family.

 SD> I've seen Ale 8 at my local Kroger and Walmart stores.  Walmart has
 SD> recently really stripped the amount of choice in their soda offerings
 SD> so I prefer to go to Kroger to get soda (Kroger's house-brand soda is
 SD> much cheaper and just as good, if not better, than brand-name soda)
 SD> these days.  They even have Diet RC (RC is my favorita cola) and
 SD> they're the only ones who have it in my area.

I should have looked for it when we were out in Pidgeon Forge last year.
(G) First couple of days were nice and sunny, then, Tuesday night as we
gathered for supper, the first rains of Helene hit us. It was still
raining Thursday when we pulled out about noon, hitting eastbound I-40
about an hour later. Less than 24 hours later, that part of I-40 was in
the river.

I've not had an RC cola in decades as either Coke or pepsi is a lot more
available across the country. I'll have to see if it's available locally
and if so, give the diet version a try. I prefer diet Coke; diet pepsi
seems to be just a bit sweeter but I'll drink it from time to time if
Coke isn't available. Since pepsi is a NC product (developed in New
Bern), it is a lot more popular in the state, especially at big name
events/venues.

 SD> ... I'm not afraid of heights. I'm afraid of widths.

Cute (G)
