On October 28, 1919, members of the U.S. Senate took the final step in making Prohibition the law of the land. The nation was going completely dry--and the soda shops were ready.

When Prohibition shuttered saloons, thirsty law-abiding citizens turned to soda fountains for sustenance and entertainment. Parlor owners developed concoctions to suit every taste--and to keep their counters and tables full. Names from the soda shop menu hint at the dimensions of change in this dynamic era: Prohibition Sour, Flapper Frapp , and sundaes like the Suffragist, Soldier Boy Kiss, and "Reel" Nice Movie--all of which are included in this volume--are among scores of tasty, innovative treats.

Soda Shop Salvation collects more than 125 recipes for imaginative drinks, sundae varieties, and luncheonette delights from the 1920s, evoking the time of speakeasies, newfangled devices, and racy automobiles. Tidbits of the history of suffragists and flappers, bootleggers and G-men--whose collective commentary demonstrates that the nation's approach to Prohibition was anything but straightforward--interweave with the recipes. Excerpts and quotes from publications of the time offer advice for entrepreneurs, tips on early road food, and some really corny jokes. Soda Shop Salvation gives readers a taste of life during this turbulent time.

Rae Katherine Eighmey is the author of numerous food history books, including Food Will Win the War: Minnesota Crops, Cooks, and Conservation during World War I and Potluck Paradise: Favorite Fare from Church and Community Cookbooks.

Best pillow for my neck pain.
Number of Items: 1
I've tried so so many pillows to relieve my neck pain at night and this one is the first pillow that has actually worked. I was skeptical at first as this pillow is heavy and dense but one night and I was hooked. I couldn't believe I found a pillow that actually not only was comfortable but also relieved my neck strain. It's worth the cost to now be able to wake up without pain.

Tempur-Cloud Pillow
Number of Items: 1
My daughter has been struggling to find a good pillow that does not hurt her ears. She is a tummy sleeper, as am I. I have also been struggling to find the perfect pillow. I heard about Tempur pillows and thought it a good idea to buy my daughter a pillow for her birthday. It arrived last night. She tried it out during the night. When she woke up this morning, the first thing she said was that the pillow is amazing. It was a good night for her. She said it felt like sleeping on a marshmallow - soft enough to not hurt her ears but firm enough to support her neck. The pillow is very comfortable. 😊

This pillow flattens so much I’m not sure if it’s a legit tempur pedic or not. I bought one previously from Tempur Pedic store and the quality is better plus is more supportive. This one is meh . I gave it to my husband, he doesn’t care

Get one but use it on a medium firm mattress, not a firm one.
Number of Items: 1
You need a mattress that is medium firmness to use this wonderful pillow. It gives perfect neck support and I can sleep on all 4 sides with it. My neck/head pain quit first night used it. On a firm mattress it feels too hard and awkwardly cradle l es my head.

Great Pillows
Number of Items: 2
Got the 2pk, while these are probably not worth $65/pillow, they are definitely comfortable and I had no issues sleeping on it. Much better than the memory foam pillows from Walmart. Could be a bit bigger and denser on the foam, but otherwise its perfect. Pair with nylon cover for better cooling.
