My parents come from Iowaay and Michigun
hence, I had to learn to like Vernors, and eat vegetables boiled in butter....

4. It's the national drink of Michigan
It's actually a very sweet ginger ale. They love it with ice cream. It's not bad, but I don't see how the natives get so worked up about it.

5. but...but...Iowa corn is so good you can eat it raw
Why ruin it with butter? It's like smearing BBQ sauce all over a Filet Mingon....you just gotta ask "why?"

6. Actually, Vernors is a very GINGERY ginger ale
it makes Schweppes taste like weak pee. I don't think Vernors is any sweeter than the others. It's that extra zing in it that makes it special.

vernors is most excellent stuff. it used to be sold around here but the big boys hogged the cooler space. doesn`t everyone eat vegetables boiled in butter with a dash of sugar?

8. My parents come from Iowa and Texas.
And I've never heard of Vernors.

9. Vernors is a Michigan thing
the butter soaked veggies is an Iowa thing. None of my relatives are Texan, so I can't comment there - except to say that it gets hot there. Oh, and they barbeque things too.

Nothing like corn on the cob soaked in butter and lightly sprinkled with salt. Mm-MMM!

11. I love corn with butter...or without
as long as it is grilled in the husk, corn on the cob can't be beat!

12. I thought a lot of people put butter on their veggies.
I didn't realize that was a regional thing. I'm from Michigan but I've lived a lot of places.
