chris will not, however, be moving anywhere near the arctic circle, so you can rest your pretty little heads about that. kathy, did you never make suicides from the fountain drinks at summer camp or what??
In my day of youth soccer, a suicide was always defined as Sprite + Mountain Dew/Mello Yellow + Coke/Dr. Pepper/?—it was always a triple shot, not something of everything. This is causing some of the confusion, perhaps?
Okay, since we just have to know the answer to this burning question:
According to Wikipedia: A beverage made by mixing many soft drinks together, usually from a soda fountain, is variously known as a graveyard, suicide, pop bomb, swamp water, or garbage soda.
Obligatory: Who is this Chris character?
On suicide: Alaskans have similar suicide problems. Topic’s most recent includes an essay by an Alaskan teenager describing all the things he does to keep from thinking about death. (If you register, you can read the whole story.)

i think the teen suicide rate in alaska was linked more to poverty than to sunlight, no?
will filling your cup with all the different flavors keep you from killing yourself? i’ve got to try that!

I actually haven’t finished reading the Alaska story yet, but when I do, I’ll know conclusively whether it’s about light or poverty.

i didn’t either… i blame it on growing up in the sunny caribbean.
we got more than enough light there and our sugar straight from the cane.

suicides? okay, i had NO idea. never went to summer camp…does that explain it?
by kathy—Mar 10, 01:42 PM
I didn’t get it either. Even though I did them all the time when I was a kid.

So I guess it can be more than 3 flavors.
