Just a little anecdote about Kirsch no-cal soda.They sponsored our little league team(the league was actually called "better our youth league") in the 50's.We were called the no-cal lamplighters and played our games at McCarren park.
Into the early 1970s there were still a few local soft drink companies. My grandfather had soda delivered from a "paisano" of his from East New York. The soda was "Liberty Soda" and it was the gassiest soda I ever had. Their motto was "freedom from thirst" with an image of the statue of Liberty on the bottles. You could probably use it to put out gasoline fires. I wish I'd saved a few empty Liberty Soda bottles.
