Holy crap - CHEERWINE sighting!
I went to my local indy grocery store tonight to fill my Jones Soda fix, and my jaw hit the floor when I saw six-packs of Cheerwine sitting right above the Jones row.
For the uninitiated, Cheerwine is a cherry soda that's particularly indigenous to the southeastern US; it was ubiquitous when I was in college in Raleigh, but I hadn't seen a trace of it in eleven years back up north. Even their website shows their "territory" ending in Virginia; to find it in suburban Philly was off the charts. AND my wife likes it, so we'll be getting that much more. Cool! |

MMMM yummy... where was this?????
I love Cheerwine.. I picked up my taste for it while growing up in North Carolina, and I always pick up a couple cases when I visit my parents, or make them bring a couple when they come up here. We now have Krispy Kreme here too... If we can just get a Bojangles, I'll be all set with all the food products I miss from North Carolina! |

A Thriftway in West Chester.
You can have it shipped directly from their web site, but I don't know what they charge for shipping. |

Last time I looked (I admit, several years ago, the first time I noticed "cheerwine.com" on one of the cans), it was something like $23 a case, which is too much for soda in my book, no matter how good!

I saw Cheerwine Sherbert at the grocery store today, but I too am in NC, just like Cheerwine and BoJangles. Long live the BoBerry Biscuit!

I saw it at Food Lion in Chapel Hill.... I would assume that other Food Lions would have it too.
They also had Sun Drop Sherbert. Leave it to Food Lion to have such things!

I can get Cheerwine, Bojangles and Krispy Kreme all in a span of about ten minutes here. Actually, I could if the starter hadn't gone out on my car. I can't get shit right this very minute.
I had no idea Cheerwine was a regional thing. |

<a href="http://www.cheerwine.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=About.Territory">Here</a> is the region where Cheerwine is most common.
Krispy Kreme has found its way northward; the local Acme carries their donuts, and there's a standalone store in north Wilmington. Bojangles... I remember them from when I was in college, and not altogether fondly. |

I don't like Bojangles either, except for their dirty rice. I don't like chicken (or any meat, for that matter) with bones, so maybe that's the main reason. Also their Boberry biscuits, as others have mentioned, are pretty damned tasty too.

Isn't Hardee's the same as Carl's Jr.? Do they not have breakfast? Or do they have neither in Philly?

Even during the brief tenure of Hardee's in the Philadelphia area (there was one in the second floor of my college cafeteria building) I don't recall them having breakfasts.

Hardee's breakfast biscuits are good, but BoJangles is so much better!
