That’s right – it’s competition time once again at American Soda.  Last time we we asked you to tell us about your claims to fame in our ‘6 degrees of separation’ competition and we were inundated with some fantastic (and amusingly tenuous) stories.

We wont be asking you to do anything as elaborate this time.  To win a frankly ridiculous £100 worth of goodies from American Soda all we ask is that you fire up your Twitter accounts (what do you mean you dont have one yet?  Get signed up!).  If you aren’t following @AmericanSoda already, do so and then retweet this message that should appear in our timeline:

Everyone who follows us and retweets will be put into a draw and a lucky winner will be picked out of the hat on Monday afternoon.

Get tweeting!

When I bumped into Paul Jewell (former Bradford & Wigan football manager) at Manchester Airport last week it got me thinking about the theory that I have often heard that you are only ever 6 steps away from anyone else on the earth.

Six degrees of separation (also referred to as the “Human Web”) refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth. It was popularized by a play written by John Guare. (source Wikipedia)

I mentioned that I am only 4 steps away from the pop group Take That and here is why

My wife’s uncles business partner is the brother of Jason Orange (a member of Take That) so you can see there a three people between me and Take That.

Now here is the little challenge I would like to throw out there.

How close can you get me to someone really famous or important through whom you know. For example if you knew the Queen I would only be 2 steps away from her.

Now I know some of you don’t know me personally or have even seen me but please play along.

Just reply to this post and we will see who can get me close to someone famous or important.

I will give out some prizes on Friday for the best ones; of course the winners will be announced here on the Blog.

Better give in and give them Cookies

My wife wanted to make a banana cream pie this weekend, there is only one thing for the base, keebler graham pie crust, it is both delicious and ready made (which is the best part), any Jell-O pie filling goes perfectly with it but we are going for banana this time.

You might remember Wonka Sour Nerds from years back, I was a big fan, and I am glad to say I have got them in stock . You might be asking yourself what are they?, well let me try and explain as best I can.

Here goes… Apparantly they are made through a tumbeling process, i.e. you start with a grain of sugar crystal and then tumble in a machine/add more tangy sugary crunchy stuff  and then add the colour.I think thats why they are all irregular shaped. The Lightning Lemon ones are my favirout and they do make my jaw bones explode at the back….. the Apmped Apple however not as powerfull, nevertheless very pleasent. If you have a sweet tooth you must try these out..

I would give these  7 out of 10

Why not give this recipe a try if you’re brave enough….

 

Stewart’s Grape Soda – from £2.50

www.americansoda.co.uk

Purple Cow Smoothie

  • 1/2 cup  (138ml) Stewart’s Grape Soda
  • 2 cups (450g) vanilla ice cream
  • 10 cubes ice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Milk

In a blender, combine grape soda, ice cream, ice cubes and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. If mixture is too thick, add milk until desired consistency is achieved. Pour into glasses and serve.

I don’t mind a root beer float every so often but this seems a little on the extreme side to me…�
