I wonder if perhaps a sponsorship might be in order.

    Steve,

    I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your writings….and the chuckles I get when I read something like today’s
    entry.

    I started reading your blog when Philip Howard gave it high praises. We go to Ocracoke every year and just love the place.

    Keep ’em coming,
    Pat….

    Hello, Pat! It’s so nice to hear from you. I’m glad to know you’re reading. Thank you for the encouragement. Yes, Philip gave me a very positive review on his blog.

    I look forward to going back to Ocracoke, but don’t know when that will be. It’s a place I love, too, and feel like there is something more there I’m supposed to experience.

    Why not? Know anybody who works there?

    Sure don’t. But I love that description on the wrapper: “Natural flavor with other natural flavor”

    Well, that sounds natural…and flavorful! 🙂

    And I’m tickled to finally get to see a little of your OC bottle collection! I’ve been curious about it for a long time now.

    For those of you just tuning in, OC stands for Orange Crush, not obcessive compulsive! …I think.

    This is a great photo, Steve. I wonder, though, about sugar shock.

    Thanks, Karen.

    Had the contents of the bottles been part of the breakfast, you might have a legitimate concern, and not so much from the sugar overload as from whatever else might result from drinking 60-year-old soda.

    I’m curious as to who you are soliciting the sponsorship from: the energy bar or the OC? Either one may be a good pursuit. Ah, but then again the sponsorship may hinder the creative content found here.

    As for the 60-year-old soda – well let’s just say there is a big market for well aged (read: OLD) wine. Who’s to say there isn’t interest in the “aged” soda?

    Response from Steve:
    I was thinking about the energy bar, but Crush could work, too.

    Old, unopened sodas are worth a good bit more than empty bottles, but they don’t interest me. (And the settled, discolored contents hardly inspire tasting!) I collect for the glass itself, something I really should write about eventually.

    Good point about hindering creativity, Jeff. Being a sellout doesn’t sound very balanced, does it?
