Ah Piergies I guess are a snack here! Yeah living down south tea is everywhere, Turners isn't bad but its also not great. Its just a cheap tea IMO, I buy occasionally but I'd also try that beer (with low expectations)

Oh wow, how could I forget Lemon Blennd. Now that is totally a Burgh thing! Liquidy sugar sweetness.

Pretzel Salad?
My dad used to ask for me to pick up Islay's ham/ bbq, Tom Tucker's Mint Ginger Ale (not sure if thats local but I never saw elsewhere), and Vernors GA too. Mallow Cups were a fav but you could get those in NJ too.

Please do not mention any jello salads with non fruit items, it just seems wrong to me and reminds me of Christmas Vacation with Kitty food in the Jello.

Oh yes, is that a Burgh thing? My dad also would ask me to grab that, I've had it and like it but just never think to pick it up. I watered it down more than they say or add some to unsweet tea when we make.

I think they just discontinued lemon blend, it was so sweet watered down could you imagine how it would be straight out of the bottle.

Well I had to check that and yup, no more. That also led me to find out Tom Tucker Mint Ginger Ale is no more....guess good thing my Dad isn't around to be disappointed as that was his fav! I read Natrona bought the recipe so maybe their Mint Ginger Ale is that.

Pretzel salad made with "real" strawberry jello is quite delicious.

I do like tapioca but back to Jello. I can not get past something in Jello, I feel like someone messed up and was like F it. I love Jello and Pretzels but not together. I'm also not a fan of ambrosia salad either. Just some combos don't work for me.
