with good old STL tap water!!

But...but... doesn't that mean you have less shelf space below?

An even better solution? Give up drinking soda. Keep cold water in a
bottle in the fridge.

It's better for your health, cheaper, and non-addictive.

What'll you do when they begin making the 2 liter size, those extra ounces
may require further adjustment.

There were two spare "rungs" at the bottom of the door (side by side) that I
didn't feel like using so I wouldn't have to bend down that far for stuff.
The door shelves housed all the many bottles of condiments, dressings, etc.,
which I did have to re-shoehorn around, throwing out some really ancient
stuff in the process to make room.

Only wish I'd thought of it sooner. :-/

Now if only STL could fix their pizza (only from what I've heard here at
rfc.

gloria p,

I drink water all day long! A few chugs of coke every so often relieves the
boredom that is H2O.

Best,

Me too, if soda consumption depended on me the factories would be
shuttered. About the only soda I ever liked was ginger ale once in a
great while and is impossible to find one that actually tastes like ginger.

I never have. I'm quite aware of the temporal nature of old Gatorade
bottles. I buy a quart of Gatorade every once in a while to get a new
one, and wash my two existing bottles that I use at least once a week
in hot spapy water, very thoroughly.

If I'm really bored, I'll make some Solar tea with one of the many
selections of Celestial Seasonings and refrigerate that.

I gave up soft drinks over 20 years ago and seldom need any help at the
dentists office.
