I have not seen it. But the packaging looks quite retro.

It's a pale ginger ale, not as spicy as our local Vernor s ( Detroit)

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

speaking of Vernor's, does anyone know why it's only available in Michigan?

A friend of my parents picked me up some a few weeks ago. Pretty good stuff. It has a very unique taste, kind of like a ginger ale, but also different than a ginger ale.

Vernor's in bottles is reserved for the elite soda drinkers of Michigan... Either that or no other states wants it  |

Vernor's in bottles is reserved for the elite soda drinks of Michigan... Either that or no other states wants it As the old Vernor's ads used to say, "It's a one of a kind soft drink!" If you have never had it, you are in for quite a surprise with the first taste. Way better than Canada Dry and ginger ales of that type! My dad loved Vernor's because Jim Vernor was the first registered pharmacist in Michigan and he was an original member of the Michigan Board of Pharmacy. My father and grandfather were both registered pharmacists and they operated a drug store on the east side of Detroit for over 40 years. We had a full soda fountain where the jerks were down in the pit and had to reach up to place orders on the marble counter. Unfortunately, it had to be shut down in the 60's when the cooling system failed--a pre-freon system (ammonia I think or something like that?)--and it was too costly to justify fixing it. I wish I had some pictures of that soda fountain when it was in operation.  Tim |

I'm always surprised that in the DC area, I can find Vernors and Diet Vernors in almost every supermarket soda aisle. Now for some HOT ginger ale, I bought some hot Blenheim down in SC when I was passing through, unbelievable how hot it is.

My wife loves Vernor's, every trip to Michigan we try to bring a case or so back home. I agree it's by far much better than Canada Dry it's got a kick... just wish they distributed in Illinois.
