@thatbilloakley.com Reading the latest newsletter about Beverly, have you ever had Brio? It's another Italian soda that sounds like it has a very similar flavour profile. It's easy enough to find in Canada if you look for it, but not available everywhere or anything.

Also, I'm not a big fan of all the papers calling it a strike, when the flight attendants were actually locked out after they gave strike notice. Framing it as a lockout properly puts the onus for the flight cancellations on the airline instead of the union.
