Cliquot Club beverages

I confess to an undying love Cliquot. Absolutely great. And one person on
earth never tasted it.

Pardon my ignorance but I don't know Cliquot Club. I do know Veuve Cliquot
champagne though. Is that what you're referring to?

That would be good too, but no --- Clicquot Club Ginger Ale began being
bottled and sold in 1881. Only clique members were allowed to buy it and
sample it.

Wonderful stuff. Scum don't deserve to taste the likes of it and of course
they do not. All of them meet eternity wondering what it would have been
like. (Great! They would have loved it!)

Do you know any scum Max? Behold them with pity. They are loathsome. Foul
of breath. Foul of mind. Foul of soul and visage. And stupid too.

Shut down in 1965. Deeee-licious stuff!

Maybe it never made it to Canada, although it was bought out by Canada
Dry.

And Canada Dry Ginger Ale can't compare at all with the Real Stuff,
Vernor's (if it still exists).

Slainte!

Do I detect a bit of punnage here?

Yup. Always liked Vernor's.

My brother and his inner circlet of the intelligentsia had a Vernor's
clique going in the early 60s. I couldn't detect the nuances they
rolled their eyes about, much to their eye-roling derision. Of course
by then I'd been smoking cigarettes for more than ten years, and
couldn't do much refined tasting anyway. Was always good at degrees of
"hot", chili-wise, though.

I remember Cliquot Club as purveyors of a preferred mix for some kind
of cocktail my dad used to make. Disremember the rest about it.

Smoking won't always dull one's taste buds. I was always able to discern the
difference between Coca-Cola, New Coke, and Pepsi while blindfolded, though
none of my non-smoking friends ever could.

Then you'd notice mine. I make a chili that removes paint. And
chrome-plating. Problem is, so far no-one can eat it but me, so I have to
do a milder version for others, which is still 5-alarm+.

Me too, though I'm a fading Pepsi addict (they changed it, too....)

How about Royal Crown Cola? (my fave, but can't get it here.)
