50/50

How I could go for one of those right now...

Any PA folks (Rich Pawlak, where are you??) on the board today? I think 50/50 is native to Pennsylvania, but I could be wrong there.

The company that makes 50/50 also puts out orange soda, cream soda and grape soda. But 50/50 was definitely my favorite.

My Polish grandmother's FAVORITE!

Here's two other sodas that I've only ever seen in NE PA:

Kickapoo Joy Juice (another grapefruity soda)

Iron Beer (like Dr, Pepper, but different).

At my cousin's house yesterday (in Buck's County) she had Wild Cherry Canada Dry. What's with the soda up there?

We have it here in Chicago.

My mother visited this weekend and brought me two six packs.

When I was a kid (1960's), Canada Dry used to made a soda called 'Half and Half' and it was essentially a grapefriut soda. It was one of my favorites. I grew up in New York (Queens); but I used to get that soda while visiting my grandparents in Connecticut. I don't remember how common Half and Half was in New York at the time (or Canada Dry products for that matter); but there was a Canada Dry bottler right in their town (Meriden).

It seems to me that your 50/50 is a ripp off of Canada Dry's product. I'll try it if I ever find it.

I had completely forgotten about Kickapoo Joy Juice. Midway through elementary school, my best friend moved to East Smithfield PA. If you know where that is.... you've really been in the sticks (i.e. going to visit Sayre or Athens was called "going to the city"). Loved that stuff. We drank it mostly because it had a cool name. Bought it from the old fashioned Coke cooler in Devoe's Red & White Grocery on the village green.
