Alert: The Maps Thread

Dr Pepper for Texas is pretty easy, but I'd throw in Big Red as a close second.

 

Concur. Frickin' Florida, man

 

Only Big Red I know is a chewing gum.

 

You are wrong,Cheerwine breath!

 

I think I'd probably prefer that to whatever the hell A-Treat is

Also WTF Nebraska, Kool-Aid doesn't even count, or shouldn't if it does

 

Look at this guy forgetting the jardiniere on the dog!

 

Well, to be accurate, its:

..."topped with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt..."

So, you get the pickle relish and the sport peppers, but no giardinera. Thats for the eye-talian beefs.


That said, @Pittsburgh Ref should consider replacing his cartographer, just based on "general principle."

 

Hot beef a contender for sure

Hot dog, I think we'd first need to determine taco v sandwich

 

True.

Plenty of folks around these-here parts eat the swine anus sandwich. Plenty of folks eat tacos.

But who the fvkc eats something called a "horseshoe" in the Land of Lincoln/home of Blagojevich? Your cartographer must be dismissed, sir.

 

I feel ya. Some of these maps are based on ridiculously small sample sizes.

 

I always associated Big Red with southern Indiana and Kentucky. Kentucky's Ale 8 (really Ale8one, but nobody calls it that) is good stuff. I first came to know of it in high school and it became the center of a whirlwind of inside jokes that still make me smile, but wouldn't make any sense to type out.

 

Oh--has thee not heard of the Cube Theory of starches?

Can't disagree, see above.

 

Big Red was created in Waco in 1937.

 

I created a Big Gulp of half Diet Coke and half Big Red today. Take that Outdiana.

 

The map maker has a fundamental misunderstanding of Florida. It is and has always been Ironbeer.

 

I usually defined a Suicide as a more or less random mixture of several drinks.

 

Yeah fair point. Still remember the guy at 7-11 who made the best suicides ever.

 

Never seen those before, what’s the flavor?

 

French dip was a regular in my college dorm’s cafeteria. It would invariably appear two to three days after “Roast Beef” night. It was served on stale-ish bread and dipped in only-God-knew-whatever leftover drippings would be available. It was pretty awful. I would never go back for a fourth helping on French dip night.

 

The red one is a cream soda that some say tastes like bubble gum. I don't really get that from it, but I would have never guessed it's a combo of lemon and orange oil with vanilla.

The blue one is more of a blue raspberry but still has some cream soda undertones.

 

Upon my intro to the UP through my now wife, I discovered Diet Red Pop Faygo has the same effect as Ipecac upon a cultured palate.

[edited] and I wish this was the worst of it. It's not.

Anyway +2 for Phillipe's and Cole's. I tried both when I lived downtown. Both were great, but on a hot day? Ick.

 

To the Eastern PA folks - is A-Treat still a thing? I spent a lot of time around Allentown as a kid and went back last year; all the A-Treat signs are gone. What's the scuttlebutt?
