Vernors Ginger Ale. Considered the 1st 'soda' pop. Is celebrating it's 150th anniversary this wk in Detroit Michigan. Started by James Vernon in a Detroit pharmacy before the civil war. And being sold by 1880(not 1866). It's a Detroit staple. I am not sure how far it's distributed, but Michigan and the surrounding states know all about it. Including Canada.
In honor of that I wanted to show all my Vernors bottles. And some links for more info on Vernors. Thanx and I hope you enjoy.
