We're about the same age and were raised in the same general
(expanded) geographic area. Maybe my parents didn't have a sparkling
water source, maybe they didn't want to mix their own soft drinks or

only one grocery store), so we just bought the coke syrup when the Dr.
wrote a prescription for it.
