I'd like to make lemonade and suchlike juice drinks,
but on a low sugar diet. Lemonade without sugar won't go over real big - Any suggestions for other sweeteners? Stevia or whatever - -- Rich |

If you go stevia, may as well go with any diet drink. Wife likes Zero xxx water and Propel.

I typically drink 1-2 cans per day, I don't consider that expensive. Oh, and there's 5¢ deposit on each can but I bring them back and my deposit is returned. |

Three bucks a 12-pack ain't bad but I was sooooo darn tired I did not take advantage of that sale. GRRRRRRRRR, but they should be on sale again soon then I'll swoop in and buy 4 12-packs. No deposit here on cans or bottles but they are rinsed before going into my recycle bin. |

Regular price here is ax high as $6-7 for a 12 pack. I can occasionally find a sale of 4/$12 but you must buy 4 to get the sale price. Angela and I usually buy them together like that as neither of us needs 4 at a time. She prefers Pepsi though and I won't touch that. Mostly the sale price is buy two at regular price and get one free. There was a sale of buy two and get three free but I *really* didn't want to buy 5! I got a 2 liter for 99 cents but I don't like to buy those either. It's okay if I have people over but they don't fit in my fridge very well and they tend to go flat once opened. |

The regular price here is the same as yours but once each month each major bottler is on sale at about half price... this week it's Coke products, next week could be Pepsi or 7up. My wife drinks diet Coke and I drink Diet Sprite so we buy them 50/50. |

It was around 1977 that a 6-pack of soda went over $.99. It remember that it felt like a milestone had been broken and things would never be the same again. That's the breaks. |

The average family income in 1950 was $3300. The average family income today is $53,046. That $0.10 Coke would cost $1.50 today (assuming a 10-cent deposit) if the price of Coke kept up with increases in pay. Was that an 8-ounce bottle? Cindy Hamilton |

We didn't need to because our neighbour was an executive with Canada Dry and kept us well supplied. However, I seem to recall there were two sizes of pop, one selling for 10cents and the other was 12 cents. |

Pizza delivery places carried it as opposed to Coke or Pepsi, and they sold it cheaper. And Royal Crown produced the first big diet soda, Diet Rite, available widely. Regional brands I think of names like Faygo in Detroit or Canfield's in Chicago. |

I've lived most of my life on the East Coast of the US. I do remember Faygo drinks. I seem to remember orange drinks with that brand name. |

White Rock spring water originally came from Waukesha, Wisconsin, which was once so popular that a promoter started to build a pipeline to Chicago in time for the 1893 World's Fair. Unfortunately, nowadays, local residents and farmers have pumped down the water table 100 feet,reaching a radium contaminated level. And now they are crying for Lake Michigan Water. https://daily.jstor.org/clash-over-w...sha-wisconsin/ http://hellodrew.com/websites/spring...chapter04.html https://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Rec...operty/HI29559 https://www.npr.org/2011/12/05/14305...fter-140-years |
