Once upon a time in another land my SIL used to drink something they
called a Purple Cow. Grapette soda and milk mixed together, looked
udderly revolting so I never tried it. She gave it up a long time ago too.

My general impression is that folks with ulcers are drawn towards milk.
Probably Coke and milk and baking soda would have worked better - on
second thought, leave out the Coke. :-)

My father had three fourths of his stomach removed in 1957 due to
ulcers. I remember him eating saltine crackers crushed in milk to soothe
his ulcers. He lived on that and Tums for years. Of course back then
they didn't know that stomach ulcers are caused by a bacteria and are
easily curable. Dad lived another 25 years but never weighed above 130
lbs after the surgery. He ate a tablespoon of baby food every hour he
was awake for years to stretch what remained of his stomach out to the
point he could actually eat a meal.

Remember "Laverne & Shirly"? Pepsi & milk. I have a friend who likes
orange juice and milk, neither the OJ or the Coke or Pepsi & milk do
anything for me, but vanilla ice cream & coke that's another story
altogether and even better is a root beer float.

I wish that I could catch them. They attack my garden.
