It probably was. Funny thing was, I don't think my friend ever had the seltzer water; we used to just mix the flavored syrup with tap water. It was like Kool-Aid.

This stuff had pressurized taps and everything. Apparently they went out of business because you couldn't get the carbonators anywhere.

ENBB, our next meetup should be at Charlie's Kitchen's beergarden and we should come armed with these things and order the lightest beers they have and make our own version of Berliner Weisse

I was leaving best buy a couple days ago because that was the closest place to buy something I couldn't get anywhere else and there was this fuckin grungy eight year old kid like straight out of a harmony korine movie, standing in the middle of the parking lot with a half empty box of butterfingers trying to sell some to me saying "yo man, yo, yo man, you gotta keep me off drugs and alcohol man, buy some butterfingers man"

maybe it was just much more memorable to me than similar events because the kid was so small like he seemed barely taller than my kneecap

I had no idea O'Charley's was ripping off a restaurant called "Charley O's." that is hilarious.

I still have to plan a trip to Missouri so I can load up on Water Joe.
I then plan on coming home and making coffee with it.

plus it bugged me that rufus was going to a class party at his teacher's house today and on the list of things to bring to the party it said "bring lots and lots of water!". and we were all like don't they have running water at this teacher's house?

maybe they needed lots of extra water for the water-shooting toys.

Is Water Joe just a midwest thing (developed because only water is allowed on the floor of the Chicago Board Of Trade)?

Scott "tons of water" in that context just sounds more like "hey it'll be hot, they'll be outdoors, make sure to keep 'em hydrated". Tho yeah why not just offer water and juice at the house.
Going back to this CharleyOs thing, is it like the SodaStream thingies we've had here since the 70s? Or is it something else.

yep! i had thought it was a national chain, like TGIF, but i guess it's just a new york thing. apparently it's been around since 1950?

O' Charley's is a chain in the Midwest and South, apparently no relation to Charley O's. Guess the name thing is tolerated as long as they stay on own turf.
