Purchased a Rye-Ola bottle this weekend at the local flea. Marked Rye-Ola - Atlanta, GA and was curious about the company and type of soda. Could not find anything on web. Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Could you post a picture of the bottle? I really like these copycat sodas and I'd love to see a picture of yours. Thanks!
