I also loved Fanta Red Creme soda but I couldn't get it in stores. There was just 1 soda machine at the local Marathon(later '76) station that stocked it. <BR/>I probably drank every bottle. <BR/><BR/>I also enjoyed original TAB back then. I wasn't dieting I just liked the taste.<BR/>My wife tells me that in the North East TAB came in different flavors in the 60s. I never saw anything but regular cola flavor in Illinois. <BR/>Also, RC Cola at certain times of the year had a "K" on the bottle caps. I read in the Chicago Tribune that this meant the RC Cola was "kosher". Oddly enough I never encountered or knew of a single Jewish person in Momence, IL<BR/>Still, the local A&P had Kosher RC Cola.<BR/>Today I will drink Pepsi 90% of the time. I will drink Coca Cola in restaurants. <BR/>I get migraines from NutraSweet (really I do) so I avoid diet soda.<BR/>Diet 7-up and Diet Rite use Splenda but the flavor doesn't cut it for me.<BR/><BR/>RC Cola...once my favorite.<BR/><BR/>signed<BR/>Pepsi Addict<BR/>Alan<BR/>JettBlackBerryX@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-41556612276807580022007-03-24T08:08:00.000-04:002007-03-24T08:08:00.000-04:00We had mostly RC at our house, too.

Not because we liked it - Coke was the undisputed champ - but because it cost half what Coke and Pepsi cost.<BR/><BR/>I always thought it tasted like generic cola - yecch.<BR/><BR/>And doesn't it drive you nuts that the cartoonist put R.C. (the name of the character) in quotes? My mother-in-law uses quotes freely in her letters, as in: <BR/><BR/>I whent to the "mall" today and bought a box of "milk chocolates."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
