I Love Vernors

I'm not even from Detroit, but part of my family is. When I was about twelve, I first mixed a half a glass of Vernors and a half a glass of Coca-Cola and was instantly hooked. To this day, there is nothing quite like Vernors and Coke for a delicious, refreshing drink.

Summer after summer lead my family back to Michigan for visits and mass consumption of Vernors. We used to ship some home to ourselves in California as it was not readily available during the 80's.

As I grew older, Vernors became easier and easier to find in my local grocery store. My shelves would ever be stocked with the amazing elixir and my heart would ever be happy.

Unfortunately, those days of ready availability are gone. More and more, I have to hunt down my favorite soft drink in stores all over SoCal. It's very disappointing and has lead to the creation of this blog.

I'm hoping that one day, SaveVernors will help begin something, a shared love for not just any ordinary soda, that will gather enough attention to make something I love easier for me to find.
