    Those are the kind of drinks I have been craving. As it is we are making due with water, I guess I’ll have to use my imagination ;D

    You know there’s high fructose corn syrup in Kern’s, right? I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m trying to get all of that stuff out of my house. It’s in everything!
