I am glad you have seen the light. And thank you for mentioning Cheerwine. I also had that shipped to me up in PITT as I did with the Mexican Coke back in the day(circa 2000).
You correctly noted the most popular "pops" down here. So kudos.
Next up is Southern style Pimento cheese. I am not supposed to eat it...but I still do. The New York area never got it right originally ...so Southerners had to show them how to do it. But at the very least they deserve a nod :)
