I'd like a Vernor's flavored slushie.
I was absolutely flabbergasted when I was offered a Vernors in 1993 on a Horison [[Alaska) Airlines flight between Seattle and Wenatchee WA. A few years later, when working in a Central Washington C-Store where we carried the product, I would ask purchasers where in Michigan were they from. Purplexed looks until they realised their beverage gave them away.
Bumping for tomorrow.
