    Years ago I worked at a place with a soda machine. 25 cents in 2008. Crazy cheap.

    But when I put a coin in and pressed the buttons just right, it would drop two. I drank so much soda back then.

    Depending on what button I pushed I would be annoyed but fine, or aggravated. If I pay for caffeine and you give me this, I’m punching your machine.

          Doesn’t activity in occupied Palestine mean they provide jobs for Palestinians? I’m confused…

                Yes. They wouldn’t give Palestinians jobs, that would get them bombed by the IDF.

          Recently I went to the hospital for a surgery. It was scheduled for 0630 and they told me no food or drink after 1800 the previous night. I heeded that. At 1100 they told me they were cancelling the surgery.

          I said “does this mean I can have some water?” They laughed and brought me 28oz of ginger ale. It was delicious.

            Ginger beer is the 🐐. The 365 ginger ale at whole foods (if they still make it, haven’t had it in like a decade) used to be the only tolerable ginger ale on the market that actually tasted like ginger.

                  It’s cause there’s significantly more fresh ginger in them, and I believe more sugar? It’s a mixer soda for the most part but a ginger beer is pretty good in the morning with a couple bitters and some lime for a hangover too.

              Everywhere. It’s usually with the mixers for cocktails. It’s a ginger beer, not a ginger ale.

    What’s the difference between the two Canada Drys? I mean, the labels are obviously different, but they both just seem to be regular ginger ale from what I can make out. Any Canada Dry superfans that can clarify?

      Just extra ginger ale because it’s the soda GOAT

      (Though I’d have to say Seagram’s is better than Canada Dry. Both are better than that Schweppes swill though)

          Vernor’s is its own class, and I prefer it to drink on its own. But Canada Dry is better for mixed drinks. Excellent with scotch, and a way better mixer for rum than coke (fight me on it).

      I think they’re the same, just different pictures. There are other variants of Canada Dry, but they typically incorporate other colors to distinguish themselves.

      I’m guessing this machine is in a high ginger ale demand area.

      I think basically one is pretty much… just ginger ale flavor, and the other has more citrus flavoring as well.

      Or, there are just two different buttons/labels for Canada Dry, from different… marketing epochs.

      I think the Canada Dry that I’m thinking of, thats just ginger ale, is like a bronze colored can, and the ‘+citrus’ one is green … ?

      Those vendormachines is full of cans that are, depending on internal mechanism, put in corkscrews which will, once the motor is activated, pulled toward the front where they will fall down a chute that ends in the lower section of this machine. Once its there the operator can reach into the lower section and grab the can.
