Oh yeah. Bring your own soda means Soda-swapping!
I'll be bringing Northern Neck Ginger Ale and Old Dominion Root Beer.
I know Mark is bringing Sundrop (also, Mark, any word on getting me some Blennheim?).
I am hoping someone from up North can bring some crazy seltzer flavors you can only get up there like Polar Vanilla seltzer or Half& Half
Tell me what regional soda you're bringing so I can get all excited to swap with you!

If someone could bring some Vernor's ginger ale, that would make me very happy.
All the local beverages I can think of from here are beer and our appallingly maintained municipal water. But I understand that beer — even awesomely delicious, bread-like beer — isn't welcome, so I'll have to bring the tainted tap water.
Think you can handle a flavor explosion?
Then you're ready for Sundrop - the soda with a refreshing blend of
bold, crisp flavors as bright as the sun. Get an energetic charge from
Sundrop, Diet Sundrop, Cherry Lemon Sundrop, Caffeine Free Sundrop,
or Diet Caffeine Free Sundrop, and experience a tase like no other.
Mark, represent NC properly and bring Cheerwine as well, even if you don't personally care for it.
EDIT: I've seenBlenheim locally, Mark, like at Weaver Street Market. If I find it I'll yell. And buy some for Dave.
I love Blenheim, especially the high-test blend with the red cap. It's a miracle. I've cured colds with it.
(I'm not going to Nerdly. I'm just a Blenheim enthusiast.)
What a cool idea! I'm not attending Nerdly, but you bet we're going to talk about local food exchanges for GenCon.
Joshua, I think I can get vernor's here - i'll double-check for you. edit: It'll cost you a polar half-n-half liter bottle, I know you can get them there.
If nobody else can satisfy Jason's birch beer needs, I can hit that too.
EDIT: I also know a black market unpasteurized milk smuggler, but bringing that would be against the law.

It's like drinking THE DEVIL.
We could also offer Emergency Brownies.
It doesn't have the folksy bartering feel of this thread, but it could work as a last resort.
I do sometimes strangely long for the 'spruce beer' I got from them once (they don't seem to carry it anymore). It was a little like drinking pine-sol, but actually kind of awesomely refreshing. I think it may have been from maine.
Who's a cartographer? We need a soda map.
birch beer from my college town, Kutztown! I'm not so crazy for it myself but all the birch beer talk reminded me.
So, I've got Sun Drop, Cheerwine, Blenheim, and Turkey Hill.
Am I becoming a Libation Ambassador?
mmm CLOVES!!!
Dan...i work at a grocery store, can get you any frickin' Turkey Hill product you want
has anyone heard of A-Treat? they make a soda that's called Big Blue...it looks like Windex. my brother used to love it. i think he just likes "blue" food.. how many former Pennsylvanians are there here? geez.
Man, that Blenheim was delicious. Thanks for that, guys.
