Journaling:
Big Red has always been apart of my life. I remember going with my family to White Castle when I was a little girl. We would always make an order in the drive-thru, and then park to eat. As part of our order, we would always get a Big Red to drink. Being the big Coca Cola drinkers that my family is, I still to this day don't know why we would always get Big Red at White Castle. Other than routine. Big Red was also an occasional treat from the grocery store that my parents would bring home (upon request).

It wasn't until I moved to Utah in 2000, that I realized my obsession. From my experience, Big Red is only widely available in the eastern part of the United States, the same as White Castles. I had to learn to live without my beloved Big Red soda drink. But luckily I could still purchase White Castle burgers in the freezer section at the grocery store. Once, while visiting from Kentucky, my mom brought me several six packs of Big Red because she knew how much I missed it.

It wasn't until about 2004 that I realized that Big Red could be found in the great state of Nevada! I was on the way to pick up my sister from the airport in Las Vegas when I stopped at a gas stateon on an Indian Reservation to get a drink, I practically scramed in the isle when I spotted my red, liquid, passion. Unable to control myself, I bought 5 or 6 bottles. I drank, and drank, and drank until all was gone. Then I was home again. With no Big Red.

Now, several years later, anytime I am lucky enough to travel through Nevada, I grab an armfull of delicious Big Red. My husband just shakes his head. He doesn't understand. It hasn't been apart of his culture & heritage since the beginning of his lifetime. Big Red is a part of my history and I'm proud of my obsession.
