James Vernor was 84 when he passed away in His family joked that he did not retire until just hours before his death. A massive sign that illuminated the company logo was located along the Detroit River where ferries took passengers to Windsor, Bob-lo , and Belle Isle. In the s, a shop opened along the river that allowed visitors to watch soda production as they enjoyed their drinks. Sometime at the end of the s, the name lost its apostrophe and became simply Vernors.
Purchased by Cadbury-Schweppes in , today Vernors is part of Dr. No problem getting it anywhere. Loblaws, Longo's," Stephenson said. Production, however, remains paused "as our bottler works tirelessly to meet consumer demand changes since the beginning of the COVID pandemic," said Cynthia Shanks, director of communications and sustainability with Keurig Canada. Stephenson said the company should sell the product to someone who is "interested in distributing it. They have the gas.
They have the bottles for all the other soft drinks that people drink, but Vernors drinkers are like a cult," he said. It's called Vernors Meatballs, and everybody wants her Vernors meatballs," she said. Laird describes herself as Vernors "obsessed" and said she hasn't drank another soda since trying it in her early 20s.
And right now, she's pregnant and craving it. Laird has been trying to track some down — she even posted on Facebook in hopes of locating a supply.
It was everything she remembered, Laird said. After moving to Alaska in , we were thrilled to find a couple of stores selling Vernors on the Kenai Peninsula!! What a special Treat!! Being from Michigan, I loved Vernors. After moving to Texas in , am still surprised that they bottle it in Plano, Texas but cannot find it in any of the stores around the Houston area!
How odd. I imagine that you can find Dr. Pepper there pretty readily. Which is one of my other favorite beverage. I am so glad. Another reason the Covid sucks, I used to be able to buy Vernors here in vermont but now neither walmart or Tops is carrying it any longer.
I am a southern gal and had never heard of Vernors until I moved to Michigan in When I came down with a stomach bug , I was given Vernors to drink. I had to get use to the taste as it is so different from what I was accustomed to. After a few years of living back in South Carolina , I came upon some Vernors in one of our grocers. We were born and raised in Michigan. We came to Alaska in May , However, we can now. Wonderful drink!!!
LOVE, that Vernors! Back from our annual Michigan trip. What a great state Michigan is with so much to offer any visitor.
Fire works at Arbutus Beach, lake Otsego. And the pie was worth every cent. Turkey dinners at the Gobbler in Gaylord, and my first jet ski ride on lake Columbia in Brooklyn.
Zeeb road. Talk about a great Manhattan, whew. And of course the resupply of my cans of Vernors stock. Interesting tidbits about Dr. Vernor — some I knew; some I did not know! That is truly sad. I wonder if we all did a write-in campaign to Dr. I remember when you we old open a bottle and the first sip would make you cough a little.
Not a true ginger ale soda. And yes, I bake my hams with it. I remembe4 being a young child, my uncle used to come in once a year for a few weeks from Cincinnati each year to stay with us to visit Michigan relatives. We would go to the Detroit train station to pick him up and our first stop was the Vernors plant to get a refreshment. Uncle Joe always insisted on paying the tab, and we got to choose anything to drink that we wanted..
This treat was always a wonderful thing, pop wasn t a household item. Vernor s on the other hand was usually in the house in case someone got sick, never as a pop, but used for upset tummy s. Vernors was served at every school function. I remember there was a portrait of Dr. Vernor that hung in the stairwell. Thankfully, I can buy Vernors in OK! Your email address will not be published.
