For those of mature years and discriminating taste, I found a place today that still serves them - part of a wonderful day with family.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is/are Green Rivers?

The only thing I thought of regarding "Green River" was the Green River killings in WA state ?? Just had a correctional officer over at the house giving us an update on death row here at WSP.

I used to get them at a pizza place that is no more. There's a candy shop in Sunriver, OR that still makes them. I also see them frequently in local grocery stores in single 12 oz. glass bottles. (I'm 47, so it's not an age thing...)

Wasn't Green Rivers a contemporary of Muddy Waters? Actually I have very distant memories of Dad buying me Green Rivers at a drug store soda fountain in a small town in northern Wisconsin - grandparents lived there. A lemon-lime soft drink that was a real treat - Imagine that, a soda as a treat. Here's a link to a Wiki.
