A sweet letter from a dear reader. "I thought you would be pleased to see that I have passed down my love through the generations. Over the Christmas period I was lying outside catching some yummy rays of sunshine while I poured over your sweet entertaining self when my two- year-old niece, Ivy decided she was going to play mini me. She lay down her own towel, donned my hat and sunnies and pinched you from right under my nose". Love, love Penny

We just love this guy. Instead of bowing down to the big soft drink giants of today, he believed Americans had a choice when it came to choosing their soft drink. His passion for old school authentic soda is infectious. And although I don’t dabble much in fizzy drink, I’d now give anything for just one sweet drop of AJ Stephans Old style Black Cherry.
