13. Franks's Vanilla Cram Soda -- "Is it Franks? Thanks."

We had moved to Michigan and Frank's could only be found in
the Philly area. When relatives from Philly visited, we expected
them to have half their trunk filled (like smugglers) with Frank's
sodas, scrapple, and TastyCakes (which, at the time, could only
be found in the Philly area, too).

I'm positive it was only available in clear bottles when I was a kid.
