So I had to go to the store to get 6 bottles of Sprite...

Sickly sweet for me. :)

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.Agreed! that's why one must always have a good supply of Tito's vodka on hand, you have to offset that sweetness somehow. :)

I've heard that apparently italian Sprite is that much sourer than European and US Sprite. We also had a small production of sugar-free Sprite that I loved, but it was too sour and bitter even for Italian taste (it was much closer to Schweppes than to standard Sprite).

Again, I'm thinking Tito's to the rescue! :) You want bitter, consider this stuff Jeppson's Malört[^] a local (Chicago) specialty.

But when I got home I realized I picked 7 up. I'll let myself out.

I have to admit that I have indeed tried it. My son and his wife took a trip to Chicago a few years ago and heard about it from a bartender who had them try it. He brought a bottle back when the family all got together for Christmas. We all tried a shot. X| I threatened to disown him. My youngest daughter took the bottle back home as she and her boyfriend were throwing a party the following week and wanted to torture their friends. As it turns out one of her friends actually liked it and finished it off. Have you ever tried it? To me, it tasted of anise and wasn't so bad - for about a half second. Then a horrible aftertaste aftershock sets in that knots your whole face. It is truly unpleasant.

I have had it several times, I expected it to be a lot stronger (alcohol-wise) to be honest. The aftertaste is bitter no doubt, but to me, no more so than say a grapefruit. I lost a good deal of my ability to smell ~15 years ago, so I can't really speak to any nuances of what it actually tastes like. But given a choice, I'm more of a vodka person.

Snow White made the mistake of thinking 7up was a drink :-D
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP
