So, have you got Dr. Pepper in Sydney yet? How about Easy Cheez? Can't wait to read the rest.

Too bad you only went to the touristy parts of San Francisco. The real city is much more interesting.

We do, but it's not the same, somehow. I do like that they make Diet, though. Oh, and we have ezy cheez, but it's not the same. It's always better your first time, know what I mean?

Ahh, but that's what the 1999, 2002 and 2007 trips were for !! I was only just a young thing back before the turn of the century *blush* and didn't even venture to the Castro!! **Gasp**

Lash, I remember the first time I ever had Dr. Pepper- I was six, and it was at a luncheon in a fancy hotel restaurant with my mom. (She was working for Senator Jackson then, and brought us kids to lunch to show us off for some reason). It remains my favorite pop, but you're right- it's never as good as the first time.

Hawaiian Punch in-the-can concentrate rocks.

When I first moved to Hawai'i, I quickly came to hate Hawaiian Punch. Not for any reason having to do with its taste (though I do find it too horribly sweet) but because root beer is my preferred drink and back then every Coca Cola soda fountain had Hawaiian punch in the slot that on the mainland always went to a non-affiliated root beer.

Of course, this was about the same time that Coca Cola bought Barq's and integrated it into their lineup, forcing Hawaiian Punch out. Sadly, Barq's is just about the worst root beer in existence and has caffeine with removes one of the benefits of being a root beer drinker. So the hatred just shifted.

Snap, snap, snaps! This is definitely an enjoyable read, LB.

You know on YouTube, when someone has a directly related video and they post it "as a response" to somethin? I've half a mind to digitize my Australian Journeys - Mortification by LSPE, 1995. (I took a pretty extensive trip journal - and I was 15 at the time.)
