I miss real soda fountain cokes. Way, way back when I was 12 years old (and
diabetic already!), I used to play D&D at a local game store. Halfway
through the Wed. night games, various folks would want drinks from the store
across the street. Since I was very broke, I'd go get the sodas and one guy
in particular, who became a great friend, would buy me a soda.

Real, soda-fountain with just enough cherry syrup added at the time of
mixing the carbonated water with the Coke syrup, combined with complete
time-wasting manic sword-slashing fantasy. Heaven.....

Mind you, we didn't have glucometers back then, and I was being naughty, but
given the manic tension I was exuding, I don't think it kicked my blood
sugar too high.
