Oh, and don't forget there is a large part of the country that calls it all coke..  

Which one of the 3 i am in, i guess its a secret :)

VPN, sorry. ( not worth explaining why, but mostly work related ). 

This is accurate enough:

I know, but I cheated using IP geolocation and a map of who calls it what.
You are in an island of Coke within a state that is mostly Pop.

Not sure i mentioned it, but if so, sorry for repeating:

Got samples ( several carbonated bottles, and a bottle of syrup too ... ) of Nurb's "coke".   Wonderful stuff. I saw the recipe, not hard at all, but start up cost is a bit high unless you drink lots.  He needs to start selling it on the side and make a few bucks.

This does have a splash of essential oil made from Kola nut. But only a splash, its pretty minimal.

I'd like to sample a "coke" made with actual coca leaves and kola nuts. I'll bet it really did have medicinal properties with those things in it.

I guess could be in another room too.. 

Went to the city today, grocery supply.  One item "buy 2 get 3 free" ( cereal )..  had to read it a couple of times "it didnt say that.. did it", and I still didn't believe it.       But i bought 2. and got the other 3 free... 

One thing that sucks with 95 degree weather.   Cant cook much. Don't want to risk heating up the house.

Its too hot for that here. Been eating cold stuff.  Lunch meat, cereal, stuff like that.

Yeah. I've been doing almost everything on the grill for just that reason.

And not that anyone cares, but seems to be a CO2 shortage around here.  Really starting to piss me off. 

Been weeks and cant get my small 10 pound tank exchanged/refilled.  Had to break out backup.. a 5 pound . I have 3 or 4 months on that, but i do NOT want to go back to sodastream bottles.... $$$$

Even plan B, putting dry ice in the tank has failed. no one has that around here either, everyone is out of stock of that too. 

Plan C, making it myself, never tried, and not sure how it would work. Or if.

I may, may, have found a place "it will take us a while to turn it around and get it back to you".. so we will see..  i bet they cant since sources are limited, and i have already hit them up.

Frustrating.
