One day last week, my life was enlivened by 7-Up Gold and Kiss Double Platinum. Tho’ the disc package didn’t quite alleviate the bad taste Gene Simmons & Co. leave in my mouth, the six-pack o’ 7-Up Gold sure did. Nowhere near as sickly sweet as the company’s regular product, this richly-colored brew reminds me of nothin’ so much as that nectar o’ the Midwest—Vernor’s Ginger Ale.
