Well...here is my
3rd ALL TIME favorite beverage. That soda is none other than
SKI. It was created around 1956 by the Double
Cola Company and trademarked in 1958. It is orange & lemon flavored soft
drink using actual orange & lemon concentrate. SKI has been a mainstay of
the Boy Scouts of America's Chief Logan Reservation, located in Ray, Ohio. SKI
can be found in Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee & Florida. There is also a Cherry SKI
soda.

MY MEMORY: I have always regarded SKI as probably my 3rd ALL-TIME favorite soda. The first time I really remember drinking it was at the Chief Logan Boy Scout Camp in Ohio. And around that thimeI was a big fan of The Kentucky Headhunters and SKI was mentioned in their song "Dumas Walker" which I loved to sing & still do to this day. Now in 2008 & 2009 in order for me to get ahold of SKI, I have to go to Fort Knox, Kentucky (where the SKI reserve is located-JUST KIDDING) which is almost a 4 hour drive for me. BUT it is plentyful there, so 1 or 2 times a year, I buy about 15 bottles and drink 1 or 2 each month. Yes, that is the truth...haha The
lengths I will go to for my favorite things!!!!
FALL 2013 UPDATE: While SKI is carried by stores around 30 miles away in all directions from my location, there is a local grocer that has been carrying the plastic 20 oz bottles. So I am making a weekly pilgrimage there :)
