Mother Fletcher’s Sooper Joose (1971-1972):A vaguely cherry-flavored cola from Canada Dry, marketed (with a tongue-in-cheek fictional lore) as a counter-cultural "bootleg soft drink", produced off the grid in a still by a deaf old woman. It was sold/tested exclusively in Dallas, TX and Rochester, NY
