Hi Jim,

 JW> I never order soda pop with meals in restaurants ...
 JW> it might be water, beer or wine with a coffee after

 DD> Beverage is often included in fats-food meals

 JW> I haven't been to one since Aug 2015

 JW> Correction: I've been to Fat Burger twice since then.

That's one we don't have in the States. Cute name, probably indicative
of what someone would look like after over indulging in what they offer.

 RH> Have you seen the machines Coke has out

 JW> Nope. See above.

It's a gimmick, true, but does offer more of a variety than the drinks
usually offered. I can get diet soda in a range of flavors instead of
being limited to just one. I started drinking the diet sodas 30 some
years ago, as a way to cut some sugar out of my diet--at the time I was
drinking 2 12 ounce cans of soda a day. Now I may have one a week, if
that, but still diet to still control the amount of sugar I consume.

 JW> Continuing with the radish sprouts ...

 JW>       Title: Broiled Salmon Teriyaki Salad With Asian Dressing
 JW>  Categories: Hawaiian, Salmon, Mushrooms, Eggs, Salads
 JW>       Yield: 1 serving

Something different, may give it a try.


 JW>   Andy and Marian Wong, Byron II Steakhouse, Honolulu

I think that's new since we came back from HI, but it's been 16 years
already that we've been on the main land.

 JW> ... When did Santa Claus drinking Coke become a tradition?

When some advertiser drew a picture, I think in the 1930s, and it became
popular.
