Right, that's MUCH better.

(what was the original topic? oh, right) I can imagine someone calling the police:
I want to report mis-representation! MY coke dealer should be selling me coke but I see he is selling crack! He told me I was getting coke! I want to report him!

Purple is a flavor ?

that reminds me of a Simpson's ep, where Homer takes Lisa to work and she asks for fruit from the snack machine and Homer says, "This has purple in it. Purple is a fruit." (something like that).

My mum sometimes drinks whiskey & dry ginger ale.

My FIL (Father-In-Law for those wondering at the abbreviation) lives on Orangina. He buys it at Big Lots down in the Charlottesville area of Virginia. I like it but not to the extent he does.

[Ironclad Alibi]

But then I guess Orangina isn't that known outside France.

Orangina is known in the US, although the formulation is a little different. I have seen it over the years. You can order some from Beverages Direct.

Schweppes Ginger Ale ? I don't think we have this one. Schweppes is originally an Indian Tonic water, and we have some variants (Lemon, Citrus, Peach, Coconut), but no Ginger Ale.

Finding a real Ginger Ale around here is quite hard, and Canada Dry ginger ale doesn't cut it any more, since I've tasted the real stuff.

Schweppes make a full range of carbonated drinks. Around here they share a factory and distributors with Pepsi.

My godfather used to mix Canada Dry ginger ale with cognac. Very refreshing mix, but quite treacherous.

Also, according to the French site, the Schweppes Ginger ale is new around here; Can't wait to taste and compare it with others. And I've jusy seen one of my favorite carbonated beverages when it gets far too hot : Ricqlès. Powerful mint flavor, best served ICY.

Check the alchohol isles also, as I've seen it there (near the seltzer water) for mixing drinks before, although I have no idea what you would mix ginger ale with.

I had ginger beer the other day. Strong stuff--about burned my lips off.

EDIT** Bonus linky. Enjoy!

But I can't think of any other carbonated beverage that aren't sold outside France... You guys have Schweppes and Fanta, right ? Gini ?

Hey, Schweppes Ginger Ale is awesome! I grab some occasionally when the mood takes me. And no, I'd never heard of Orangina before--but I've never let that impede a dirty mind before.

Besides, it can't compete with some of the oddball stuff my friends import from Japan. You haven't lived until you have eaten snacks that have cutesy-looking cartoon animals sodimizing each other on the package.

He didn't show us the package until after we had eaten the snack, the bastid.

have you tried the three new flavors? awesomeness in a 20 oz bottle

I've tried the Blue Raspberry. Now I drink upwards of 3 or 4 regular Mt Dew cans a day with no side effects, and that stuff made me twitch. I want more.

[Shironu-Akaineko]

It reminds me : is Canada Dry even sold in Canada ?

Yes. We just don't drink it.

We got an unopened bottle in the fridge downstairs from Christmas 06.

[Samaliel]

Yes, but you're not supposed to pick innuendo where there isn't ! Orangina is a perfectly family friendly carbonated beverage, with actual oranges in it ! How... How could you ? The mental image... It burns us !

Still, I guess I was right : you've never heard of it before ?

Oh, God. I never noticed how this brand wasn't fit for exportation.

Don't feel too bad. My current gaming group has turned my mind a lovely shade of filthy, and now I pick up on a lot more innuendo. It's quite fun actually.

[Samaliel]

Whelp, goodnight everybody!

<Why am I thinking about Umpa-Lumpa Gynocologists suddenly?>

Oh, God. I never noticed how this brand wasn't fit for exportation. It's sold in the UK, though. Their last ad campaign was pretty... creative. It would have created riots in the US, I'm sure.

Look up "Naturally Juicy" on YouTube to know what I mean.
