Vernors - If you have had it you know. If you have not had it, then you don't know.

They sell it at Walmart here in CT. I've never picked it up though.

Good Stuff! It has been around for a long long time.

It's pretty much the only pop I drink. I drink diet Vernors. I like Coke Zero, and diet Dr. Pepper occasionally.

I mean no harm, but It’s got to be better than Moxie (cola).

I have not been brave enough to try Moxie yet.

I think it still has the fish lobster oil in it.

Like other sodas it was initially a medicinal "tonic" when it first came out. Everyone says it's not as "potent" now than it was in the past. Supposed to be good for virility!

It kinda tastes like spicy pond water. I thought you downeastahs were supposed to love that stuff.

spicy pond water.

YES, this.

I grew up in Michigan. Made my way to Maine about 11 years ago. After stops in several other areas.

We have something here called Birch Beer. Anyone tried it and like it?

 

[Gary A.]

We have wine out here. Tastes like wine.

I had a Spruce Beer up in Montreal. Smells just like a Spruce tree. Have not tried a Birch Beer.

As a transplanted Kentuckian to Michigan, I've never really acquired a taste for Vernor's, but the boss lady has. I did discover the "Boston Cooler", which is Vernor's and vanilla ice cream blended. Now, that's a great drink. The "Boston" part of the cooler doesn't refer to the city, nor the Detroit neighborhood near Mr. Vernor's drugstore. Remains a mystery, but a tasty one at that.
