Regional drinks I am sure the same is true elsewhere in the world, but in the US one way regional identities struggle to persist is consumption of regional sodas. I’m from Mass and have always loved Moxie (the soda’s brand is the origin of that word) and coffee milk. I’ve always enjoyed trying other drinks when I travel. I think Vernors is my favorite from “abroad.”
I love regional drinks as a quick and cheap way to check out local food culture!
Coffee milk sounded so good and I bought 2 tall bottles to bring home with me. It was.... interesting.... 😁
I maybe had 3 glasses trying to "get it right" but it may have just not been for me, but I still think about it after 10+ years, so it made a lasting impression, if nothing else.
Cheerwine is possibly my favorite regional soda, but Dr Enuf was good too. I had the red one, as it looked like the Cheerwine on the same trip.
In Pennsylvania, A-treat is still around under new owners, and people seem to be surprised by the clear birch beer.
