Are people really that desperate in the US to have something that attempts to bear a vague resemblance to cider?! I'm beginning to reconsider my move if I can't get a 4-pint container of proper natural cider, straight from the barrel, for a fiver, get nicely plastered on it, and have no ill effects the next day! (Joking - I'd rather move and go without than succumb to fizzy chemicals)

Sorry if that sounds harsh - I'm joking. Everybody's taste is different!

Just wait until you see what passes for bacon here.

Not just in the cut but the way it's crucified too. Again, something to avoid unless there is a good alternative.

Such as the plastic containers cider comes in.

Maybe it's a South Wales thing...me and the girls used to head down the pub for a Bo and Black - Strongbow and Blackcurrant Juice - on occasion...usually at the start of legendary night on the tiles.

Makes me sound live a right chav!
