Anybody tried TING?  I recently discovered it in my supermarket ethnic food aisle.  It's a Jamaican grapefruit soda.  Real sugar, real grapefruit juice and natural flavors.  Neat little 9.6 oz. glass bottles and it is absolutely delicious.  

I don't normally drink soda but this stuff is yum on a hot day over ice. ':p'

Great with a shot of rum, too... '<img'>

It's good stuff.  Totally blows Squirt away even the Mexican Squirt.

Will it fit in most older vending machines?

Haven't seen Ting.  I have a few bottles of Jarritos Grapefruit (from Mexico) in the fridge.  Does your store have a Jamaican section? '<img'>

I'll have to look for it.
So funny that it's "9.6 ounces" rather than 10 oz.

It may be called "Ting" because it is great to drink while listening to Bob Marley sing, "Ev'ry little ting's gonna be alright..."  ':p' '<img'>

I don't know this, but I would imagine the reason that it is 9.6 oz.  is that 9.6 US oz is 9.99 (read 10) UK oz
And for a while Jamaica was a British colony, and they probably just put a us measurement on it, while measuring it out in UK oz.
That is a complete guess, and yes, I did look some of that up.

Hee hee. A fine guess. ':p'

Ironically, I am one of the few adults in this country that has never ever tried drugs and never want to.

Life can be enough of a challenge at times without even messing with my own reality.  '<img'>

Sorry I got so deep there. I now return to my usual Markito. '<img'>
