Hi Dave,

 RH> It was the same with "New Coke" in our area of central Texas (Fort
 RH> Hood) until Coke pulled it. Could get it in commissaries in Germany in
 RH> the late 80s for a while, then it was pulled also.

 DD> New Coke (I tried it). I couldn't tell in a blind taste test whether
 DD> I was sipping New Coke or Pepsi. FEH! I gave it a good leaving alone.
 DD> As did most others.

And that's why it failed. German Coke was also sweeter than American but
I could get the latter at the commissary.

 DD> I use the flavoured seltzers in my rotation of canned soda. And
 DD> sometimes just plain ol' Club Soda. The flavours are usually very
 DD> subtle. But it's all right-proper Belch Water.   Bv)=

 RH> Belch water fits! I don't burp as much with Coke as I do the sparkling
 RH> waters.

 RH> sometimes 6, but Wegman's has stayed with a dozen. They've got a good
 RH> assortment of flavors to choose from as well; ginger is one that both
 RH> Steve and I like. We tried their lime ginger but it wasn't as good as
 RH> the straight ginger.

 DD> Haven't seen ginger. I like grapefruit, cranberry and cherry flavoured
 DD> seltzers though.

 RH> It's a Wegman's own flavor, not seen it in other brands.

 DD> Someone is making it for them - many labels have ginger seltzer
 DD> availabe Langers Origanic, AVEC Mixers, Polar (the brand I usually
 DD> buy) Bubly (8 packs), Nixie, Lifewater, etc. My favourite Polar
 DD> flavour (currently)
 DD> is Cranberry-Lime.

We usually stick with Wegman's brands if we can. For travel, it's
whatever's availabe, usually LaCroix or Bubbly.
