Ingredients:  
4 or 5 grandchildren

4 or 5 snuff-glass size drinking glasses

one regular Pepsi, 10 ounce size in returnable bottle
(because non-returnable drink bottles did not exist then!) from the wooden case of Pepsi that Grandpa kept in the pantry on the bottom section behind closed white cabinet door

a steady hand and good eye

Directions:
Directions:
First, get the youngest grandchild to ask Grandpa Cox if we can divide a Pepsi. This was usually Elizabeth Ann, as the baby, or if she wasn't there Laura Lee was the next choice.

The child will need to actually ask him because neither the mothers nor the Grandmother will run interference. ( He always let us but it was scary asking.)

When he says okay, line up the 4 or 5 glasses, get a bottle opener and the person with the steady hand. When the Pepsi has been as evenly distributed as possible, each person picks a glass and has the one or two swallows in the glass.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Grandpa was the only person in our families who had carbonated soda in stock. We never had "pop" in the refrigerator. We usually drank water, milk, or Kool-Aide sometimes. We didn't have Kool-Aide pouches! We had to get the Kool-Aide envelope, measuring cup and sugar, hot water in the bottom of the pitcher to melt the sugar, stir, finish filling the pitcher and pour with great care because any spill or ring left, became a sticky spot.
