Mountain Dew is pretty good. I liked the red one (Code red I think). I'm a sucker for soda that has cherry in it. Noone else in Sweden seems to like it though and every attempt to sell them (Cherry Coke and so on) has failed miserably.

I like code red ... every now and then I need to go and get a grape soda .. so I know your feeling about cherry sodas.

Romdawg88 · 08-02-2007, 12:03 PM

I can't stand Dr.Pepper that stuff is horrible to me. I'm more of a Sprite and Mountain Dew man.

I had a Red Bull for the first time the other day . . . or I guess I should say half of a Red Bull. The other half went in the trash.
I also avoid Dr. Pepper.

But do you drink beer?

Edit: Probably a little harsh, you did say "My" nectar . . can't argue with personal choice.

mh2365 · 08-02-2007, 01:47 PM

Did you just bad mouth Coors Light????? I also drink Rolling Rock and Samuel Adams if that helps any. Coors Light is my at home beer.

I'm a 'real ale' man myself.

A little . .although there is something to be said for a beer you can drink in quantity and still drive home.

kenyan_cheena · 08-02-2007, 04:40 PM

My experience with Dr. Pepper was one sip, gagging, spitting it into the sink. No offense to those who like it, but IMO it tastes terrible. Mountain Dew, Solo, Fanta and Coke/Pepsi for me.

As Costanza once said "Just between you and me, I'm really excited about the pepsi!"

Coors light is a little weak but it's also inexpensive which is why it is my at home beer ... at the bars I go more toward Ale's.

Can't drink Buttwipers so I stick with Miller Lite or Coors Light at home.

My absolute favourite beer is Kilkenny with McEwans in a very close second. Newcastle Brown Ale is pretty good also. Never cared much for Guinness though. I can drink a pint from time to time but not more than one.

I'd have thought Newcy Brown Ale was a bit thin on the ground in Sweden?

Are you in Stockholm Tommy?

Yes I live just outside of Stockholm. Don't really know what the expression "thin on the ground" means (Hard to come over maybe?). It's a quite popular ale and most pubs carry it as well as "Systembolaget" (The only store allowed to sell alcohol in Sween). I like it a lot.

Sorry, yes hard to come by.

Loved Stockholm, good feeling to it for a capital city.

Don't be sorry. It's not your fault that I lack some in the english department

Stockholm is a nice city. It's closeness (is that a word?) to water makes it pretty unique. It's not to big a city either. When did you visit? Where did you stay?

mh2365 · 08-02-2007, 10:54 PM

I am on .. #15 and #16 of the coors light 30 pack

Wifey and I now drink on Thursday's and Saturday's ... at 16 I am drunk!!!!

I stayed in the Berns, but went on my own so I was lacking in a bit of local knowledge.

I went there on business about 8 years ago. Infact I remember watching Audley Harrison win Olympic Gold in my hotel room.

Only one store is allowed to sell alcohol? There are dry counties here in Kentucky but for the most part I could pick up a rock in my front yard and hit a liquor store.

The state still has a monopoly on alcohol in Sweden. The big upside with "systembolaget" is that you can find just about every wine, beer or spirit worth mentioning there. I doubt that there is another store in the world (genarally speaking that is) that has such big variety.

The downside is if you live i a place that doesn't have it, it could get a bit tedious to go to the nearest store. But just about every small town you could think of has it so it's not a big thing imo. It's kind of pricy if you compare it to stores in other countries also.

mh2365 · 08-03-2007, 11:48 AM

Okay so there is more than just one store .. but it's the same company? I thought you meant there was only ONE store you could get it at.
