Miss Fantastic Sells Out
By
Carolyne Smythe
Ever since I had my first sip of it when I was eight years old, I have totally been in love with ginger ale. I drink it with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I have a can or bottle of it every opportunity to snack I get. Ok, so I was exaggerating a bit there about drinking it every chance I get. But, I absolutely adore this stuff. Part of the reason I seem to have such an uncanny obsession with ginger ale is my amazing ability to chug down a ton of cans of this substance without getting sick. This rather unrefined talent of mine surprised and shocked some at Father's bachelor party before he and Sue got married. I made a bet with quiet a few of the gentlemen there that I could chug down a whole six pack of Schwippes Ginger Ale without any problem. Of course, the suckers thought I could not do it. Oh, it was priceless those reactions to my trick. And, who could not forget my little rendition of Ben after having a few beers thanks to the results of my accomplishing that bet. Anyway, my point is I love the beverage. But, never did I ever stop to think that my cherishing ginger ale, nor the celebrity status I had gained over the past couple of years from being a part of the group called the Fantastic Five would land me into one of the biggest messes I had ever experienced. And the funny thing about this was, it never involved a supervillain, or an invader from some part of the cosmos.
