I used to get this soda from a wonderful and
quirky deli in Pasadena, which has sadly gone out
of business, called Stottlemeyer's.  It was
definitely non-alcoholic.  They had it in a
refrigerator case next to the Cock'n'Bull ginger
beer, which is why I first noticed it.

I think that calling 7-Up lemonade is an insult 
to lemonade however you define lemonade.  7-Up is
just sugar water with fizz.  However, their
dnL is actually rather tasty, it is green with a
pronounced lime flavor and caffeine!

Sounds like a plan.  When will you accept 
visitors after Jared gets back from the hospital?
