The taste is much mellower than it was when I was a kid.

I went to school with the guy this story is about. He's actually "written the book" about Vernors.

Might be the fact that taste buds dull with age?

No, I noticed that years ago. Keith even mentions the reformulation in the story.

Wow, I'm shocked at the negative responses here. Vernor's is my #1, the absolute bestest!

A salami sandwich with Miracle Whip and lettuce on Brownberry wheat toast washed down with an ice cold Vernor's is my favorite late night snack.

Once traveling through Missouri in the 60's I stopped at a ice cream stand and ordered a Boston Cooler. The older lady looked at me like I was from Mars. She asked whats in it. I told her ginger ale and vanilla ice cream and mix it like a milk shake. She looked and me in a very serious expression and told me that they do not sell any alcohol.
I said then just give me a chocolate malt! Then it clicked to me that with my mid-west accent she thought I meant gin or ale.

Out of business around 1996. Building sat vacant for years and is now becoming housing of some sort...

Thanks NS, they had a decent product back in the day, we used to buy cases even before Towne Club became popular.

Ugh I feel so younggg.
