What is a cherry lime rinky<spelling>

[Metamorpho1977]

Anyone seen this guy on the AT and T commercial ordering a cherry lime rinky? Does anyone know what it is? If you can tell me, I will buy a lifetime supply of cherry lime rinkys.

A rickey is what you mean, I think. They're one of those old timey soda shoppe drinks like a phosphate or whatever the **** they called them. I remember Mr. Burns drinking one on the Simpsons.

And yes, I looked it up a month ago for the EXACT same reason. Thank you, Bill Curtis.

EDIT: Apparently, the soda shoppes like terry78 was talking about sold non-alcoholic versions of it.

oh ok. thanks. there is one of the old style soda shoppes left here in Atlanta. It's older than my dad. They still have the real original cherry coke formula on tap there. I go there almost everytime I go downtown just for the cherry coke. out of this world.
