J.J. McLaughlin lived in Brooklyn a while, where the Islanders would eventually play and probably will again.

Anyone who knows ginger ale knows that Vernor's from Detroit is much better than that Canada Dry slop!

Oh brother, another border war's comin'.  Wasn't the War of 1812 enough?

Naw, yoos guys have enough problems as is.

But it's nowhere near as good as it was before they switched the sweetener and stopped aging it the right length of time.

And if you like 'that sort of thing' Blenheim's red-cap has it beat all hollow.  (In honor of Johnny Deggesty I believe that was originally a South Carolina pee-dee thang.)

Vernor's is quite popular in Canada as a ginger ale soft drink. 

We call it Pop not Soda.

Have you ever had fresh made Ginger Ale or Ginger Beer at a Caribbean Festival ... wholllleeee that'll knock you out of your socks. 

Then call the Fire Station to put out the fire in your mouth. 

Top of your head gets wet then and I always end up running around in extreme discomfort and thinking " why the heck do you drink this stuff" ... then 20 minutes later I get another one... go figure.
