Triumphant Return of Fiction Friday!: "Me and Sprite"

Me and Sprite

I must have been about 11 years old, and I ordered a Sprite with my slice of pizza from Friar Tuck's at the Brigantine Castle Amusement Pier (right up the "drawbridge," past the portcullis!). It was way too sticky, and sickly sweet. It made the outside of the straw sticky. I decided then and there that I didn't like Sprite, that it was too sticky, and I never ordered it again.
