The thought of 7up & milk grosses me out! Reminds me of Laverne with her Pepsi & milk. :P

7-Up + milk sounds gross to me too. It seems like the acidity would curdle the milk.

The Shasta ad is cute. I didn't know it was still around, but it is in some areas.

You can find Shasta here, but most of those flavors I don't (or don't want to LOL) recognize.

You never had Pepsi with a little bit of milk? Or grape soda with milk (purple cow)? Think of it like a float but with the ice cream already melted. It isnt too bad...

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

I've never cared for ice cream floats so that's probably why the idea of milk and soda doesn't appeal to me. If someone offered it to me, I would try it.

I don't drink milk. Didn't like it as a kid and I probably only eat ice cream or have a milk shake a couple of times a year. I eat tons of other dairy stuff, just not a fan of milk.

Know what's really nasty? Some crazy people put 7-Up or Sprite in EGG NOG! *hork*

PINEAPPLE COLA?

Chocolate? D: XP I tried a chocolate soda once. ::insert grumpy cat::

[bradygirl_12]

Ah, yes, I remember Shasta. Not the best brand. I like my Coke and Pepsi! ;)

*thirsty*

Chocolate cola? 7-Up and milk? These don't sound like very good ideas to me.

I think I'd like that vanilla cola, though. I liked vanilla and cherry Coke.

Growing up, my brothers and I drank a lot of Shasta when we would take the boat out on the (Mississippi) river. Dad would load up the cooler with Shasta for us, Diet Rite for Mom, and PBR for him. I loved their grapefruit, ginger ale, and cola.

Did you know that adding 7-Up to milk changes milk from, you know, milk, to "a delicious blended food drink"? WTF is a food drink???

the 7up & milk sounds kinda gross to me too
but for some reason i want to try it!
next time i have both in the house at the same time i think i will!

[branwynn.livejournal.com]

Please let me know what you think of it if/when you do!

*gag* I like egg cream floats but the idea still sounds nasty.

I've had ice cream in Coke, but I've never mixed 7-up with milk. Might be interesting.

Shasta was nationwide at one time, as I recall. One local brand from Chicago that seems similar is Canfield's, that had a number of interesting flavors, including "Mickey Melon," a watermelon-flavored soda that featured a line drawing of a young Mickey Rooney holding a watermelon on the can; chocolate soda, not unlike a chocolate phosphate (chocolate syrup and soda water, not anywhere near as bad as it sounds); Swiss Cream Soda, with commercials featuring an oom-pah band and a jingle with a chorus that ended with "Das is gut!"; and my favorite, 50/50, a grapefruit and lime drink. I should see if I can dig up some of the ads.

Ohhhh man. I was born in the Chicago area and was practically raised on 50/50. My paternal grandparents always had a ton of it at their house! It still exists...my dad always has at least one 12-pack.

[john-holton.livejournal.com]

We used to go up a couple of times a year and come home with a few 12-packs of it. We loved it. I don't know what hapened to the Chocolate Fudge soda, Mickey Melon, or Swiss Creme Soda, though.

I like those old Shasta cans! I find it in stores around my area on occasion. I only find cola and lemon-lime, though.

7Up and milk sounds gross to me, too. =P
