Foodland circa 1988, you pick up an empty bottom of a box that probably held a case of 12 to 16 oz. bottles of soda at some point(pop. The south has had an effect on me, I actually gave up the term "pop", I didn't think I would.....but here we are.). You fill it back up with whatever mixture of flavors you desire, then spend the next couple days with a purple-ish blue stain on your lips and tongue. Grape was a very popular flavor. For $.25 you could get a Grape soda out of the machine in front of Jets grocery.
Grape soda, grape soda, grape soda. Throw in Cream Soda (serious favorite), some Cherokee Red and Dr. Pepper....RC cause it's local, you've got a young boys carbonated sugar future sealed in cola trademarks.
I'm always looking for ways to incoporate favorite flavors from childhood, mine or anyone elses.
A recent purchase of Methocel f5o, has led to Grape Soda Meringue. So many other possibilities.
Desserts mainly, but Mikey did mention vinegars....croutons maybe flavored with white balsamic and garlic?
Anything.

Cherokee Red is so fucking awesome. Also, it's called "Pop" not soda - don't forget your roots.
