If you truly have to leave on Sunday dont do it. I was there for a storm a couple of years ago that was a little over a foot and was stuck there for 4 days. When I finally left the back roads still had not been touched. I was able to leave by driving through tire tracks people with 4x4's had made. So to answer your question. I would not chase on the island itself. But Salisbury might be a good spot. 

thanks for that.

Hmmmmm. Just saw this.  I just booked a room on the island. I was planning on leaving Sunday. If I bring my work laptops I can stay an extra day. But I do have a 4x4 Jeep Wrangler if that helps. 

You will be fine with a Jeep. They will get coastal highway cleared relatively quickly. My place is on the bay way back from it. And I drive a Charger. So yeah.

I don’t trust people who say they can really tell between Coke and Pepsi… what else are they willing to lie about?

Ohh, there's a difference. Throw in the fact that Coke loves to eff around with its formula from time to time, and it's really hard to create/keep a baseline of taste going.

This. 

If I was stranded in a desert and needed fluids and there was a big cooler full of Pepsi, I'd walk right past that mfer and risk dehydration.

personal attacks are ok when you are insulting a group of men by using “girls” as a pejorative. 

 

that was a pretty extreme attack for what i intended to be a credit to him for mentioning water vapor first. sigh.

There’s the small difference that Coke tastes good and not like watered down syrup.

Wow, I read that in the other thread and couldn't believe it.  Talk about over the top reaction.  Sorry you had to deal with that...uncalled for and not deserved in any way.

I actually sort of remember the "little girls" comment in relation to the model rant from earlier this month.

I don’t understand how someone with so little control over his temper, reverting back to a toddler-like mindset, thinks telling other people to “grow up” makes any sense.

I remember waaaay back when "New Coke" came out and it was such a flop failure they had to put the "Coke Classic" back on the shelves and then they eventually removed New Coke.  I think the biggest insult to them was that many people said New Coke tasted almost like...Pepsi!!!

All the soft drinks/pops taste like that to me anymore...which is why I only drink one about twice a year now. When I was a kid there was an RC (Royal Crown, I think?) Cola...which I liked the best out of the colas. Also, Trix or someone earlier mentioned Cheerwine...never had that until I moved to VA, and that's still pretty good stuff.

Yup, RC was "Royal Crown" cola!  I remember that one.  I honestly can't handle soft drinks as much anymore, at least the "regular" ones, they're just too sugary for me beyond a few sips or gulps.  And even "diet" versions, I only have those upon occasion.

I got this.  I am in the process of spreading peace throughout the land.   

[arlwx]

Did you EVER go through the New Coke fiasco??

((creakle, crackle, pop))

The last time I was at the store, one cashier was telling another about how her SO was tracking three weather radars.  I warned her not to let him sign up for weather boards where almost everybody was rooting for GW 79 redux.

i replaced soda with iced tea a while back, but it's coke...it's really not even close.  however, the worst is when a place doesn't have the proper fountain drink carbonation/syrup mix.

re the coke/pepsi difference..pepsi is slightly sweeter/flatter imo.

For me, there’s really nothing better that Cherry Coke Draft.  A draft Cherry Coke on tap is heaven.

With you there!  Though I don't drink stuff like that much anymore, there really is nothing like a fountain Cherry Coke.  Or even the "old fashioned" way, regular Coke with cherry syrup!

Flying Dog Triple Dog today for HH. This thing is boozy AF. 

[birdsofprey02]

I’d like to try “new” coke. I was pretty young when that was originally released. By the time I was into drinking a soda, it was already phased out.

I tried buying it a few years ago during the stranger things special release but couldn’t get an order in. 
 

I also remember Pepsi Clear and that made a comeback attempt and it was still bad.
