Lucky You Karson ; )
Never heard of it myself, but I am thinking it is probably
delicious if it was worth shipping.

I like Vernors!
Its a little hard to find around here also.

-- Rick, Pa. Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Karson I remember when Vernor was sold only in bottles at 10 cent at our local corner store back in Ohio, man that stuff was the most. Wow, I’m going to be on the look out for some, enjoy …BC

I smile a big sweet smile, you guys are just wonderful.
Best of thoughts and love,

... Yeah, ginger soda, I’m thinking sailors drank it to help prevent sea sickness… in case you ever get stuck out to sea…

Interesting story… thanks.

I saw them before they were shipped

I first tried Vernors when we moved to the USA from Canada. It was being sold in a hardware store about 3 blocks from where we lived.

I very much enjoyed the taste. The last time I had some was maybe 15 years ago. I found some in a 2lt bottle this is the first cans in a long time.

I am going to enjoy them. But I don’t think it would be smart for me to replace them. The shipping was about 4 times the price of the soda.

But I do appreciate Mikes thoughtfulness.

I haven’t thought about Vernor’s for a long time, but it makes me smile. Vernor’s and saltines was my granny’s remedy for an upset tummy.

Very Nice

Vernors is readily available up here in Ontario, Canada.

I remember when my Mom used to take me to Downtown Toronto and the first stop Was the snack bar at Woolworths. They sold it from a fountain and you got it in a Paper/Plastic Cone inside a Metal Holder. Still my Favorite Today along with Hires Root Beer. I THINK they were both “Concocted” by a Pharmacist in the late 1800’s.

Now all I’ve got to do is find out where Radar’s (Mash, TV Show) Grape Nehi comes from ..LOL….Now that my Brain’s gone way back there ….”Dad’s Ginger Beer” is ringing a bell also.

Great Gift Karson!!.
