A Place To Crash: It’s Liquid, Yellow Crack, I Tell Ya

    When I was a freshman in college (at UT of course!) I was drinking a SunDrop for breakfast at one of the cafeterias. SunDrop was unavailable in Knoxville at that time. Some guy - can't remember which county he was from, but definitely SunDrop country noticed my drink from across the room. He tried to buy some of my stash. I refused, but he understood even though he was jonesing hard. We had a long conversation about the relative merits of the different SunDrop bottlers.

    Have you ever had the cherry SunDrop at Reeves drugstore on the square in Pulaski? Basically they add sugary cherry syrup to SunDrop. If there's anything better in the world than a SunDrop, it's Reeves' cherry SunDrop.

    When I went off to college at UTM, you couldn't find Sun Drop there either. My roommate (who was from Pulaski) and I would bring cartons back with us when we went home. As it was, she had to hide hers from her, because I needed a lot of caffeine to get up in the morning.

    I had cherry Sun Drop there a LONG time ago. I might have to drop by next time I'm driving through, now that you've reminded me.
