Get rid of sodapop?
Nowadays everybody asks for name-brand drinks- get rid of Gatorade, I say!

Traveling with my parents when I was young, no air conditioning in the car, and a water bag hung on the car hood, nothing was more welcome than a stop at a gas station that had a zinc-lined container filled with ice (mostly icy water) and sodapop. Therein I found my favorite, a purplish drink called Delaware Punch- the drink of the Gods, I thought then.

I would cool my hands in the icy water (everyone did, no thought of germs) and slowly become alive again.

Disappointment bloomed if the Delaware Punch was sold out, but I would console myself with a root beer (real sassafras back then) or even a NeHi.
