West Virginia
Wyoming
Tennessee

If you want to go down the weird shift drink rabbit hole, here's one from the UK that's a uniquely acquired taste.

Having had Moxie (the soft drink), I'd still choose it over Malort. I had diet Moxie once, provided by a friend who brought it back from the Northeast... I recall that being rough.

I was born in '73, and have a memory that extends back to when I was 2 (much to the chagrin and dismay of my parents and other older relatives, as I remember things they wish I didn't).

I guess I just don’t understand why an anti-ICE sniper would aim at immigrants…

And why are so many people engraving bullets these days? I have questions.
