Every time the name comes up, my nostalgia kicks in.
That sunny, quiet morning in the summer of '94.
Just me and a can of some soda my mom bought me as a bribe.
A bribe that ensured I wouldn't care about being taken away from my puppy for the night and instead having her friend, Kaloni watch me for the night at her house while my mom went out.
" Honey, would you like anything before I drop you off? "
" There's this new soda out there now, can I try it? "
" Of course "
Mom buys it, I hold it in my hands in astonishment. Never had I laid eyes on such a interesting can.
So much so that I waited UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING to drink it.
I woke up and opened the can in front of a BIG window that overlooked their backyard.
I will never forget how happy I was that mom bought that for me.
