I've felt for a while now that being a Port supporter is being a part of a vilified minority group.

Yeah, sometimes i feel like a Palestinian man standing in front of an Israeli bulldozer about to flatten my home.

Was Winky Dink meant to be a male or female?
Whilst I'm at it what the hell is Humphrey? (other than being a bloody bear)

It's never been a big deal for me. I've just never felt tempted. I guess my choice was helped along when I smashed a bottle of Jacobs Creek claret from my friends dads booze cupboard in about half an hour back when I was 15. Was passed out and vomiting all over myself, woke up the next day and swore I'd never touch a drop again. All these years later I've managed to remain true to my word.

Next flag, I've decided a few of us are going to share a bottle of Johnnie Blue. And you're in.

I'll be in the corner drinking a Saxby's.

According to Google Trends, the most likely countries to google `Port Power' are Australia, South Africa & India.

For `Adelaide Crows', its Australia, United Kingdom and United States.

Maybe news of us not having a `one white parent' policy is spreading?

Love the Saxbys

Love the Saxbys

It is quite literally the only ginger beer I will drink.

 

[Macca19]

I was a Bundaberg man until I tried Saxbys

 

[Jumbo]

Gingers don't have souls!

It's a real "where have you been all my life!" moment, isn't it

 

[Portia]

Saxby's is like Bundaberg without the excessive sweetness.

 

[tribey]

Give me Stonie's or give me herpes.

 

[finbarr]

Saxby's is like Bundaberg without the excessive sweetness.

And without the stale after taste....and with more bubbles.

 

[King_Tredrea]

Screw Ginger Beer, its all about the Sarsparilla

 

[Trewth]

I drink about 2 litres of Bundaberg a week. Never tried Saxby's. I probably should.

I'm a massive root beer fan. Mug is the best, A & W is OK

For mine, it's got to be Dr Pepper.

Cheers to all of you who railroaded it out of the market because "it doesn't taste enough like Coke ".

If you mix 3 parts Johnnie Blue, 1 1/2 parts Johnnie Gold, and 1/2 part Johnnie Black, you end up with Johnnie Teal.

My local Foodland sell cans for $1.90. It's rad. My love for Dr. P's almost goes without saying.

How do you feel about Cherry Coke? For a while I preferred it, it was more 'syrupy', but now I'm back on the DP train (ha!)

I also was offended by the worn out line "it tastes like medicine!" while it was on the Australian market. Why did cough medicine companies flavour their product Cherry? ****ed it for everybody.

Heart Cherry Coke, they sell it at Burp. Horrendously overpriced, but that's what happens when you have to import because the Australian market's collective palate extends only to Coke, Fanta and Hawaiian.

Showdown II was actually Ground Zero for Dr. Pepper here. A phalanx of leggings/visor-clad girls were handing out those tiny sample-size cans of it free before the game. As we were walking out 3 hours later the entire Football Park precinct was strewn them, a half-drunk aluminium wasteland akin to the skulls of Choeung Ek.

And yes, the "it tastes like medicine! " was said almost as much by those around me as "hey Vardy why you so sexy?"

Dr Pepper is terrible but you can still get it.

Dude!

I was about to post this.

First time I ever tried Dr Pepper, and I fell in love.

Reckon I got about 40 free cans.

Yeah for like, $98/can because it's imported, as opposed to what it would cost if it was made in Oz under licence like everything else.

 

[Portia]

I thought you could get it for $3 at norwood foodland

 

[Oliver King]

What, the people didn't like new things? That doesn't sound like Adelaide.
