Easter is this weekend, which means Lent will be over, which means I will be able to drink soda again! In celebration for this glorious day, I headed to Frattallone's Ace Hardware on Grand Ave in St. Paul earlier today to stock up on soda. But I encountered some bad news! They had
NO root beer left on their shelves!!

Lots of empty spots where root beer once was. (And technically, there's 1 diet root beer left on the 2nd shelf next to the blue stuff.) |
This marks the first time a "stock up" of soda didn't include a root beer. Depressing. Here's what I brought home:
From left-to-right:
- Jones Cream Soda
- AJ Stephans Raspberry Lime Rickey
- Cicero Beverage Co. Chicago Style Cherry
- Faygo Redpop
- Saranac Black Cherry Cream
- AJ Stephans Black Cherry
- Jones Soda Zero Calorie Black Cherry
- NuGrape Grape
- Double Cola
- Cicero Beverage Co. Chicago Style Orange Cream
Check back early next week as I start to go nuts on this stash.
