I live, and the Top 5: Sodas

I went one week without posting, and then another few days, and just decided to make it an even two. But I'm back! Many things happened during my hiatus, some good, most bad or merely humiliating, so expect more tomorrow. Until then-
The Top 5: Sodas
1. Fanta: Sweet nectar of heaven, why aren't you more readily available in Canada? Orangina has this weird crap floating around it. Apparently it's pulp from something called "real oranges". To which I say pah- isn't this why we developed artificial flavors that tastes like oranges in Vegas? So we wouldn't have to deal with the throat tickling sensations of the dreaded pulp. Fanta is also less sickly-sweet than regular orange soda, but still with that kick you just don't get from juice, no matter how sugared up.
2. Canada Dry Ginger Ale: Delicious and comforting with o.j. when I'm sick, refreshing when drank plain.
3. A&W Root Beer: Much better than Barq's, its ill-mannered cousin who still watches Jackass. Also includes big bear with an orange sweater and no pants. Deliciously perverse!
4. Brio: Oooh la la, I'm walking along the Plateau, drinkin' my Brio! It's like Coke, but with herbs and crap, so it's just like I'm scootering around the sunny streets of Florence, instead of dodging dog turds as I sacrifice various extremities to the bitter kiss of Montreal winds.
5. Grape Crush: In a strange way, I'm fond of the taste of grape cough syrup. Maybe because it meant a day off school watching all the daytime television one could wish for. Or maybe I just liked my Dextomethorphan HBr. Either way, I like Grape Crush too.
