Transcript:
Grande, no ice, bottled Coke. No phone. No lid. Tall root beer with two shots of cherry. Big gulp half Mountain Dew, half monster, fountained over crushed ice, two straws, bendy. Uh... Large Dr Pepper? Snif. Soda Jerk Gutbuster every-Pepsi-product suicide, with a lemon wedge, cubed ice, and let it fizz, my brother. I'm not going back there again.

Good for you, Toby. An aptly named establishment.

Too many choices! Are there such places where you can order a soda like that?

I ask for extra large, and the person taking my order just kinda stares at me, then asks, "Do you mean ‘vente’? I smile and say, “No, I mean extra large.” (sigh)

I enjoy both Mountain Dew and A & W rootbeer, but I’d hate the idea of mixing the two of them together.

I started calling the mixed soft drinks a suicide back around 45 years ago.
