Hi Dave,

 RH> it and being called "dope". That was before my time tho.

 DD> The cocaine formula was before my time, as well.

 RH> How long did that formulation last? I've heard passing remarks about it
 RH> but not much as to how long it was "the" formula for Coke.

 DD> Up until the early 20th century. Heck, there wasn't a lot of actual
 DD> cocaine in the formula. And it wasn't illegal back then, either. Here
 DD> is a link to an advertisement for "Cocaine Toothache Drops" which was
 DD> popularback in the day ....

Steve looked into the history as well. (G)

 DD>    -------->B  CUT  8<----------

 DD> I don't give two hoots in h3!! what the owners of any food
 DD> establishment stand for politically or religiously - so long as the
 DD> food is decent. I only went to Chick Fil A the one time as I deemed
 DD> the grub to be low average and not worth the trouble when there are so
 DD> many place with better food at the same price point. One of my

 RH> Your money, your choice. Same with us, we pay, we choose. And we think
 RH> C-F-A is better eating than some of the burger joints.

 DD> I, OTOH, prefer a food burger to chicken almost any day. Even some of
 DD> the fats food burgers - like Hardee's Thick Burgers.

 RH> Ads for them are enough to make me want anything but. I'd rather not
 RH> have a burger from the big chains anyway, and a big one like that is a
 RH> big turn off.

 DD> I am the opposite. I had a BOGO coupon for Mickey D's so I went and
 DD> got a pair of double Quarter Pounder with Cheese burgers. Shared the

Burp!

 DD> last half of the second one with Phil's pooches.

And they didn't object, I'm sure.

 RH> Some version may be, but it sounds like he can cook "foreign foods"
 RH> pretty well. (G) I'd go for one of his burgers over a chain place.

 DD> Some chain places have pretty decent burgers - I am told that In & Out
 DD> have great burgers. And I know from eating there that Smashburger is

In & Out is better than some places, but I'm still not much of a fast
food burger eater.

 DD> dyn-o-mite. 5 Guys isn't as good. But, still plenty good for my money.

I've never tried Smashburger and we were disappointed with 5 Guys,
admittedly more for the fries, than the burgers. Still, the burgers
weren't that great, IMO.

 DD> Red Robin burgers are on a par with Smashburger .... and if you don't

I usually get a chicken sandwich at Red Robin.

 DD> want beef there is always fish and chips ..... with endless carb bombs
 DD> (French fries) or coleslaw.

Most often, if available, I'll go for a tossed salad, cole slaw being a
back up choice.

 DD> However, we do have a fairly popular place called the Holy Land Diner.
 DD> I only ate there once because I discovered after reading the menu that
 DD> it's a vegetarian joint.

 RH> And what's wrong with that? (G)

 DD> Other than the fact that I'm an omnivore?

Doesn't bother me to go vegetarian for a bit.


 DD> MMMMM----------------------HORSESHOE SAUCE---------------------------

 RH> Way too much for me to even think about eating in one sitting!

 DD> There is also a half-size version called the "Pony Shoe". Share with a
 DD> friend.

Might be able to manage that but not crazy about beer, in any form.
