WTF?

I just saw an ad on TV for Children's Pepto. Is this a sign of the continuing degradation of our diet, that they are making Pepto for kids? This is sad.

EDIT: So, I guess because I never had it as a kid, or at least I don't remember having it, I assumed it was not a kids thing, and that if kids had heartburn and indigestion, it was from their diet, which is steadily declining with the availability of fast food and other convenience foods. But I guess I am mistaken.

Try Vernors Ginger Soda if you haven't already. Bubbly and very gingery, but not too hot.

Ooh, I wish I had known about that when I was recovering from my knee surgery. I ended up drinking Schweppes a lot. Or maybe Canada Dry. All I know was that and crackers never tasted so good.

Yeah, I had a medical procedure where I had been sedated, and I was dizzy and drowsy after. I had chamomile tea, ginger ale and crackers. Vernors tastes much better than Canada Dry, because it is stronger...it makes regular ginger ale seem watered down by comparison. But is not as strong as Jamaican Ginger Ale which is quite potent.

Have you ever had Vermont Cracker Factory crackers?

[plunkybug.livejournal.com]

No, but my favorite butter and cheese is Cabot of Vermont.

I apparently was lying about the name. It's the Westminster Cracker Factory and the also make Olde Cape Cod crackers. You must seek them out, they're amazing.

I went to Cabot on a field trip in high school. They do have damn tasty cheese.
