Puzzling Evidence

Well, chocolate-flavored soda is a thing. And chocolate sodas:

I’d suspect they would probably have the sweetness levels toned down quite a bit from the “Pepsi with Hershey’s” idea. So… I’m not going to immediately assume a “barf” reaction on that one. :slight_smile: Though I do think making a drink that’s usually cold and fizzy taste like a drink that’s usually hot and not is something that could come out odd.

8. Pepsi Milk was an actual favorite of Penny Marshall’s.

Pepsi Milk, which is just what it sounds like, was Laverne’s comfort drink of choice on the show. The treat was an old favorite of Marshall’s. She got in the habit of drinking it as a child, when her mother would make her drink a glass of milk before having some soda. Young Penny would top off her unfinished milk with a splash of cola and — voila! — a new treat. Here’s a recipe if your tastebuds are curious. Or, you could head to Japan, where Pepsi made a strawberry milk flavor.

From the MeTV article on Penny Marshall.

I had no idea why my social media feeds are full of people posting Twisted Tea ads, and at this point I didn’t want to ask, so I looked it up.

The comments are great. “This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone literally open up a can of whoop ass”

That’s Lin Wood, the lawyer behind many of the Trump election lawsuits, gradually descending into insanity. He’s been fixated on slandering John Roberts for the past several weeks.

And then there’s:

I know who Lin Wood is, lol. It was kind of rhetorical, lol.

My apologies, I didn’t want to assume you (or anyone else coming on it later on) already knew the background. :smiley:
