Big Red – It Wets the Whistle

I have never been a soda pop drinker. It’s the carbonation; I don’t like it. I’ve tried Dr. Pepper, Coke, Pepsi (blech!), Sprite, 7Up, MtnDew and a few others. It doesn’t matter the flavor, I don’t like it.

However, I’ve always enjoyed a Big Red, which is available only in the Lone Star State; it’s a Texas “thing”, much like Blue Bell Ice Cream. Anyway, once I moved to Nevada Big Red was no longer an option, but it didn’t much bother me. Like I said, I’m not a soda pop finatic.

When I was in Texas last month, I was at my favorite BBQ joint and in the cooler was Big Red. I grabbed one, excited to have a treat, not realising I’d be drinking it every chance I got, before returning home. Oh my, it is delicious! Granted, it’s not for everyone, but for me, it was nostalgic and everything good!

MtnMan, of course, gave me a hard time about drinking soda pop as often as I did, but once we were back home he surprised me with a care package of Big Red!

In fact, I’m drinking one while I blog. *cheers*
