So, I spotted some in Publix today. So decided to see what all the fuss is about.

Good but nothing to write home about. Nice ginger bite but way too much sugar.

Buffalo Rock still reigns in my book for ginger ale. Red Rock a close second.

Vernor's changed in the 90's when they got bought by Dr Pepper (I think)

They don't use real ginger anymore and it got way syrupier. Maybe they switched to high fructose corn syrup vs the original cane sugar. Hardly any bite to it now.

Growing up in MI it was prescribed for every tummy ache. Now, I hate to say it, but I grab the fancy pants Boylan Ginger Ale when I need it.

LMAO! After decades of not having tasted Vernors I had a taste 2 weeks ago and immediately wondered (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) was this crap! Did not even recognize the stuff! Canada Dry has probably changed for the worst as well but I’ll never know! Fever Tree Ginger Beer is all I’ll mix with!

Syrupy is the best way to describe it.

entirely too sweet; Seagrams and Canada dry is the best big name brand I think..

I remember Vernor's in the late 70's and it was great. Haven't seen it in way over 40 years.

Too bad it got ruined.

As a kid growing up that's all my mom would have at hand for herself to drink.

When I was a kid it came in a small bottle. When you took the first big swig out of that bottle, It came right out your nose.
It had more of a burn to it back then, but I really liked it. The new stuff is alright, I guess. I just wish that they sold it in the bottle.

Had a canada dry today for the first time in years. Bought it along with a sausage dog at the local wiener wagon.
