And now, a word from our sponsor

    While in some parts of the US the ultimate snack is an RC and a Moon Pie, in high school a friend and I fueled our weekends with RC and peanut M&Ms.

    Not having any real social life we'd stay up late watching cheesy monster and SF movies (usually sponsored by a local car dealer), building ship models and consuming the aforementioned delicacies.

  2. I don't think I've had more than a half dozen bottles of RC in my life. This was Pepsi & Coke country, and I didn't like Coke, so mainly drank Pepsi.
    But the best soft drink ever was a big frosty glass mug of A&W root beer from the local A&W drive-up!

    1. Same over here, rindardman. Coke or Pepsi. Royal Crown arrived in Australia in the early 70s but didn't make much impact.
      Bonus fun fact: Royal Crown is still manufactured here, but not commercially available. It all goes from the factory in Queensland to New Zealand. Go figure!
