Pop, pop, fizz, fizz...

Looky here everyone, Lincoln seems a little bit edgy and cool. We have a new soda shop, Rocket Fizz, in south Lincoln. Dave and I drove out there on Sunday after seeing Food, Inc. The store specializes in selling old timey and up-start sodas, especially classic root/ginger beers and fruit sodas. They also sell candy, but that seems like an afterthought. Thankfully they also offer a selection of cold sodas, so I grabbed a Boylan's Birch Beer made in New Jersey (it's a pretty common brand in NYC stores). It tasted like root beer candy (thankfully it did not taste like the sickeningly flavored root beer chap stick/candy thing I ate on a car trip once when I was ten or so) but with a nice kick. Big yum.

Here are my upcoming tasty delights: Dr. Pepper (made with real sugar and the original 1891 formulation), AJ Stephans Green Lemon Lime (New England's Tonic, the label tells me), Bubble Up, Faygo Root Beer, and Pearson Bros. Root Beer. Full reviews as I open!
