backbay Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm too young (thank God) to remember the 70's and most of the nostalgia that went with it. But I do remember, and LOVE, drinking soda from glass bottles when I was younger. Which is kinda funny - because now I LOVE drinking my beer out of glass bottles LOL Thanks pal, most of us were talking about the 60s!, maybe earlier! Personally, I enjoy my brews from a glass, though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Love Vernors. I get mine at Metro. Killer with a scoop of french vanilla ice cream (the real stuff). A treat for me once in a blue moon. My girls do not drink pop, but I got a good chuckle when each of them had their first sips of vernors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
