I squealed in delight when Tbash started downloading as for the flat white it is a friggin awesome espresso drink and I’ve been getting them at Starbucks since they started advertising them and it changes the entire taste of their espresso which I usually can’t stand and never order but now I’m addicted to it and it’s even superseded my favorite coffee shop which is local here the flat white rocks the ristretto shot is what they use a shot with less water and more espresso

As soon as the caller said “Carolina” I said, “Cheerwine”, then she said “I was wondering if you’d ever heard of a drink called” I almost shouted “Cheerwine” at my desk.
I grew up in Florida and we vacationed at relatives’ house in South Carolina, and the first thing we always did upon arrival was drive to the local Piggly Wiggly (yep) and get a huge amount of Cheerwine for the visit and to take home. They even had 3-liter bottles. BTW it’s like Cherry Coke. I have super-fond memories of it, but I don’t know if it’s actually THAT MUCH BETTER than Cherry Coke or if it was just the fact that we could only get it on vacation that made it better. Haven’t had it in about 20 years.
