The official Molotov Cocktail of the Revolution. This is on display in the toppled train at Santa Clara, Cuba.
Che Guevara stopped the train to cut off supplies to the army. Three days later Castro took over the country.
The train is still there, a sacred landmark of the revolution, and I couldn't help but be proud that Canada Dry was on the job.

Canada Dry. I haven't had one of those in years but a favorite as a teen.
Interesting landmark.
It was quite a sight, David. I used to like it, too.
I had no idea that Canada Dry played a part in the revolution! And here I thought it was only for nausea.... :)
It was a surprise to us, too.
It's amazing how much detail they leave out when you are in school.
Thanks for making details come to life.
My pleasure, Messymimi.
And still fizzy! ;)
Hilary. Good one.
