We've got commercials that show people buying out all the Cheerwine and hauling it North and West.

Everyone who ever tries it loves it and make me drag some to them when I come to visit. It's completely wasted on me. I could take it or leave it.

Hee! I grew up on Cheerwine and have always loved it. It wasn't until I moved away that I found out it's a regional drink. Every time I go to visit my family I OD on it.

It's actually not a bad price in the online store. With shipping it comes out to about $1 per can, which is expensive, but not completely crazy. :-)

I love Cheerwine. My friend and I drink a 6 pack a piece when we scrapbook all night. hee, makes me giddy just thinking about it.

Sorry, you don't live where you can get it regularly.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I grew up with it, so it's always a special treat to get it. :-D

Is this like my love for Cactus Cooler that I have to have my aunt buy and bring to me every summer?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think so! :-)

[krissielee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, CC is only available down South. As in, below the Grapevine, and along the Southern states. It kinda killed me when I realised they don't sell it up here--my aunt literally buys me 5 or 6 cases to bring up to me every year.

It's kinda sad, but man, it's worth it.

::g:: I have some in my fridge right now that were shipped to me.

Really? *is jealous*

What . . . is Cheerwine. Why have I never heard of it. :lll

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

It's a cherry-flavored soda that's only available in the southeast, and I grew up drinking it. The website (http://www.cheerwine.com) is kind of cute.

[longleggedgit.livejournal.com]

Eeee fun! Damn me and living in the Midwest my entire life! D:

So, you call it "soda" there, right?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

My grandparents said "pop", but I've always said "soda" for some reason. And I grew up next door to them. :-P

[longleggedgit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's weird, cause for the most part the Midwest says "pop," but even between Minnesota and Iowa I've noticed some difference. There are more people here who say "soda" than there ever were in MN. I get teased a lot for saying "pop," hahaha. Sometimes I say the entire "soda pop" so as to avoid conflict.

[vichan.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. My father yells at me ("you're from Ohio!!") whenever I slip up and say 'soda,' so I tried to appease him by saying 'soda pop.' And then it stuck, and now I get made fun of for THAT. O_o

[longleggedgit.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha the soda/pop battle will never end, I don't think. And it frequently claims many lives.

Cheerwine comes in diet? O_o

My old roommate used to bring home a case (or three) when she went south to visit her family. She ended up having to restrict me to one can a day.

I have no excuse to go south, so no Cheerwine for me. :(

You learn something new every day!

Maestro, I must truly sit at your feet and learn all of your knowledge.

Florida is not, apparently, the southeast, because I had never heard of this. I have been told before that we are not truly a southern state.

BEST DRINK IN THE WORLD!

I can only find it when I'm in NC thought D:

[knic26.livejournal.com]

After reading this today, I actually bought a bottle tonight at the gas station around the corner. It is the first time I have had it in at least 10 years, as I usually only drink colas with rum and even that is on an every 3 or 4 month basis, but it is quite good. It was even on sale.

[ladymorgana13.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we've been able to order it for a while. I got my family addicted to it years ago when I came south for college and now that I live here, they buy it by the case when they visit and if they run out between visits, they order :D
btw... I live in the home of Cheerwine! lol
They had their 90th bday fest a few weeks ago
YAY For Cheerwine!!!!

[spacedoutlooney.livejournal.com]

Some one who loves Cheerwine!

I've seen it all over the place since I moved here (I live in North Carolina), but I've never known anyone who was a fan.

[anise-anise.livejournal.com]

I have a bottle of it in my fridge right now. My kid drinks it all the time. The caffeine messes with my head, so I have to avoid it, but I take a sip whenever I can. You know it's made here, in my hometown.
