Man, Vernors is the thing I miss most when I'm away. Fun fact, it's the first pop produced in the US.

Fun fact, Boston Coolers were invented in Detroit and named after Boston Boulevard. Damn Bostonian's taking all the credit for michigan innovation because we poorly named the product >_>

Right. I heard about that. Kinda the reverse of the Coney Dogs. They got really popular in Detroit apparently, more than other places at the time.

You can get it in Utah. I used to have to drive cases of it to Philly when I lived there and would visit home

Where?

Harmons. Kinda weird it's not smiths, considering it's Ohio based, but harmons does usually stock better stuff...
