An RC cola and a Moon Pie!

My teacher in a High School psychology class told us students that if we were blindfolded we wouldn't be able to tell different sodas, etc., apart. I said I could, no problem. So she set up a taste test with Pepsi, Coke and good ole RC (my preference at the time) and I aced it. She was impressed so I said "that's nothing, I can do the same thing with peanut butter." So the next day I did another blindfolded test with Skippy, Peter Pan and Jiff. Aced that one too.

I gotta come down there, this is getting depressing. Three for three. I'm living in the wrong cave.

Had an ROCCokeCola on the way down from San Antonio today. But they didn't have any moonpies so I had to settle for a bean egg and cheese taco.

:shock: :x :x :x

I guess all that's good and memorable left NYC around the mid to late 70's. Yup, that's pretty much when the music died for me, and so did a lot of the finer parts of our culture, and my opinion only means something to my cat and my Burmese python, and that's okay by me. I guess I'll have to take a train dow souf ta git me sum dat RC Cola agin, 'n' taste it agin fer the verry firs' tahm.

At least it still exists. Wonder if tastes the way it did when I was ten?

It looks like you might just have to take a trip back to the States and find out. I realize that living in a foriegn country like CA, NY, MA or IL is exotic, but it is also nice to come home every once in awhile.

Actually, I no longer live in the city, but a little ways upstate, which means I still live in the USA, but I don't have a car yet, and haven't had a chance to explore my area, and the outer reaches of The Empire State. As a result, I'm still mostly familiar with NYC and its culture, and all those good things like RC Cola and ice cream vending machines went out with Lawrence Welk.

Hey Bloof, They have RC on this side of the Hudson. 8)

Well, if I ever get my life together and get a car, first I'll check over my way, and if I don't find it, look out, I'm headed your wayyyyyyyy!!!!!
