Radioactive Ginger Ale! - 2/22/2008 11:11:18 PM    webworker   Posts: 10 Joined: 2/13/2008 From: New Hampshire - Connecticut River Valley Status: offline Here is one of two of these bottles that I pulled out of the rafters of a barn in Drewsville, NH last year. I regret it now but I sold one on EBAY last November for $75.00. I figured you all might get a kick out of it. When I hand it to visitors to my house to read it is funny to watch their reaction as they reach the part about radium. It gets set down real fast quite often! Here's what the label says: "The King Of Ginger Ales - Sand Springs Ginger Ale This Ginger Ale Is Designed From A High Class OF Trade And Is Made Of The Celebrated Sand Springs Radio-Active Water From The Berkshire Hills. The Gas From The Water Has Been Found To Contain Large Quantities Of Radium Which Makes It A Healthful, Invigorating And Stimulating Tonic Beverage. The Purity Of Sands Springs Water Is Endorsed By The Massachusetts State Board Of Health". Bottled At Williamstown, Mass." I would imagine their customer base thinned out pretty fast :) Attachment (1) Post #: 1

It was just good fun to X-ray every part of the body over and over for no reason at all. So many uses, so short a life span. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back. (in reply to webworker) Post #: 2
