You Learn Something New Everyday
That last post was by far the most time consuming entry I have ever made. But, I learned plenty from researching it:
Del's lemonade is originally from an Italian cave.
Louisiana's official pledge of allegiance is even worse than the United States pledge. If you thought pledging allegiance to a flag was weird, Louisiana will have you pledge to both the flag and a motto!
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the state of Louisiana and to the motto for which it stands: A state, under God, united in purpose and ideals, confident that justice shall prevail for all of those abiding here.
Square dancing is the official folk dance of at least two states.
The Rhode Island word for frappe or milkshake, "cabinet," came from the fact that blenders used to make the delicious drinks were kept in, yup, cabinets.
Del's Lemonade supposedly comes in Strawberry, Mocha and Kiwi, none of which I have even seen for sale at any of the various stands.

I have had both Strawberry (very good) and Mocha (very wa-good) Dels. I’m pretty sure that Mocha is off the market. I do however question the existence of Kiwi.

I’ve seen Strawberry at the Del’s cart in Providence Place. Mocha sounds like a frozen YooHoo, never liked YooHoo. I’m questioning the Kiwi one too, seems like they’d have to spend too much time explaining what Kiwi was to make it worth selling.

I was in Providence Place today, it’s Lemon and Watermelon, no Kiwi in sight.
Carry on.
