I'm trying to cut pop out

If nothing else, the acid is bad for your digestion and your teeth. I drink a lot of fluid at work, and like to avoid coffee in the afternoons, so I either drink Earl Grey (or Lady Grey - has a citrus note instead of bergamot) tea. If I want a cold drink, I make this: I like it fairly weak. Weak, like lemon drink.

I note in Wiki-P write-up, there's also a Peter character in the mix; dunno if this (presumed send-up of "whatcha-got?") ever made it to the then not-qite-so Dis USA == just about the time weunses were dueling with the stooges of Sandy Reed on IWE's blog- (before that was even coined?) Pity too, doubt that Robinsons's barley water has invaded our market shelves, either. Might work for me. Re 'Coke', had kicked that eons ago, literally none in most years. The corn-syrup variety persists here even now, but in some locales you can get the Mexican Coke made with sugar of the non-fructose family. That and the kick from the Phosphoric acid (!) causes me to grab one or two of those, some months. I figure my metabolism can withstand the insult (though prolly not Vegemite or its {shuddrz] close relatives.) PS -- thanks for tip on Lady Grey; there must be some source here. Indeed the bergamot can be ... umm, Piercing, Man! so I have to be in the right mood. Edited by Ashton April 3, 2016, 01:56:51 AM EDT Expand All History

Quoth da Whysall (just over a year ago): I either drink Earl Grey (or Lady Grey - has a citrus note instead of bergamot) tea. 1) Bergamot is citrus. 2) It's in Lady Grey too. From WP - Bergamot orange: "Citrus bergamia, the bergamot orange (pronounced /ˈbɜːrɡəˌmɒt/), is a fragrant citrus fruit the size of an orange, with a green color similar to a lime." ... "An essence extracted from the aromatic skin of this sour fruit is used to flavour Earl Grey and Lady Grey teas..." Hmm... The etymology section only suggests a Turkish pear, not the city of Bergamo, as I'd have thought. The Online Etymology Dictionary disagrees with WP, seems to endorse my idea. -- Christian R.
