Did the Mason’s invent ginger ale?

At my friend’s house last night after seeing Snakes on a Plane (yes I succumbed to the hype, though I still haven’t seen Titanic yet) I was offered a ginger ale. This got me thinking, almost everytime I fly, I order a ginger ale when the flight attendants push around the cart o’ knee death. It also never fails that most of the passengers around me order the same. Now I can’t speak for them but I never buy ginger ale. I don’t buy many softdrinks in the first place but when I do, it’s always root beer or cream soda, possibly Coke in a pinch but never ginger ale. Same with parties, if I’m through drinking or want to take a break (not often enough) I will always pick ginger ale over the other carbonated sugar water choices. So listen up terrorists, if you want to take out planes go to Canada and poison the Schweppes and Canada Dry factories. Ok, maybe that won’t take planes out but at least you’ll get me.
