Cheerwine...

Well, if I hadn't found hometownfavorites.com, I'd definitely be taking you up on your friend's offer. But it's so cheap there ($3 for a 6-pack, $6.50 for a 12-pack--yes, two six packs are cheaper than one 12 pack--and shipping's ridiculously cheap--my friend drinks soda by the case daily and is going to order like 16 6-packs and I'm going to tag on an order for four six packs just to see if I like it. (I was originally going to order two 12-packs, but since it's cheaper to do 4 six-packs...)

He's also going to order a bunch of other stuff he misses from the east coast, so the order's going to be gargantuan.

One thing--the shipping on such a huge order is so ridiculously cheap that I'm almost wondering if they're going to stop the order and make us pay more for shipping. (Parcel Post is cheap but not that cheap...) If that happens, I might be posting back to ask if your friend can at least bring me one six-pack for me to taste...
