dodoblog: Blenheim Ginger Ale

dodoblog: Blenheim Ginger Ale: "Oh this is so incredibly delicious.

It stings, it burns and it uplifts.

Brewed in South Carolina since 1903,

it's a classic true to its roots.

I praise the blessed land
that also brought us James Brown.

Blenheim Old #3 Hot for me, baby!"
...Now that's some great prose! Cheers!

Blenheim Ginger Ale from Pure Water (?)

Does anyone notice something different lately on their Blenheim Ginger Ale bottles? it doesn't refer to spring water now, it says 'pure water'. I think maybe last year or 2006, they switched to Dillon's water supply. I don't know the reasons, but it severs Blenheim from its roots in a very real way.
