Learning about lesser-known soft drinks

I don’t drink soda very often, but I have been known to enjoy ginger ale and other bubbly refreshments from time to time.

I thought I knew about soda, but I’ve never heard of most of these unique regional drinks written about on MentalFloss.com.  Check out these profiles of 11 regional sodas, many of which were invented by doctors and pharmacists.

Interestingly, Hires root-beer is actually more like “tea” than “beer”–but the marketers nailed that one.

Given the outpouring of love for North Carolina-born Cheerwine, I need to try it.  A can full of Moxie sounds pretty awesome as well.  This article taught me to looker deeper into the grocery store aisles.
