   Where on earth do you order these things?

   The funny thing is, it’s not like I’ve missed having slim jims since moving to germany (didn’t have them that often in the states), but when I saw them advertised I suddenly had to have one. The dr. pepper is primarily from Robbie. According to her she will “die” if she doesn’t get “like, at least, two cans” per week. God knows I wouldn’t want to be responsible for her untimely death.

   ordinarily, yes… but the only thing that saves you is the ‘€’ in your sentence…

   After months of searching I stumbled across a couple of cans of A&W Rootbeer and was so happy I could barely breathe. Now that I’m back in the States, I do the same for Lift Apfelschorle.

   I put it in the ‘completely normal expat behaviour that only other expats would understand’ category

   Mud - I can’t imagine life without apfelschorle either…

   Not quite. Redneck starts at €65.
   Enjoy your loot.

   Why not ROOT BEER? I just got both diet and regular A & W from the on-line site in Düsseldorf.

   Haha! I must, however, respectfully disagree with jeanni — the € sign does not save one from redneckdom. I knew plenty in my ex-pat days. I don’t think Slim-Jims and root beer make you a redneck, though. Now if it were pork rinds and Pabst beer, well…

   For me it was cheddar cheese. (the Hungarians: “orange cheese???”)
