Q: I can find Dr. Brown’s black cherry soda in cans but I would like to get it in the liters, if that’s possible. I think I’ve seen them before, but can’t seem to locate any. I’d appreciate any help. Thanks. S. Baker, email
A: You won’t have any trouble stocking up on Dr. Brown’s black cherry soda in the larger 1 liter plastic bottles. It’s available in the kosher section of Kroger, 2205 Lavista Road, Atlanta, 404-633-8694. Each liter costs $1.99.
Q: Olive Garden restaurant makes a delicious Italian salad dressing, and our server told us that it was available in stores. I have not been able to find this. Maybe you’ll have more luck. I would love to be able to serve it at home whenever I want. Thank you. Margaret Peterson, Atlanta
A: You can indulge in your favorite restaurant salad whenever you like with Olive Garden signature Italian dressing. Ingredients in the creamy dressing, which also is used as a marinade, include water, soybean oil, vinegar, high fructose corn syrup and Romano cheese. A 16-ounce bottle sells for $3.28 at Wal-Mart, 2525 N. Decatur Road, Decatur, 404-464-4480. You’ll find the dressing sitting between the A1 Sauce and the Cajun Injector rather than with the other salad dressings.
Q: There’s a microwave cleaner scrub that is so handy. It’s called Glisten, and it comes in a blue box. None of the stores I’ve been to seem to carry this cleaner. I’d really like it if you could help me find this item in north Fulton. My microwave oven could use it. Thank you. P. Swanson, email
A: Glisten microwave cleaner comes as two scrubbies that foam and steam when heated in the microwave. Glisten acts by softening the soil, making it easy to simply wipe away. It’s available for $4.99 at Ace Hardware, 12350 Arnold Mill Road, Alpharetta, 470-268-7862.
Q: I’ve been wanting to try Tangee Blush, which changes color depending on your skin tone. Many years ago, my mother wore Tangee lipstick and she loved that it adapted to her skin color. I’m not interested in the lipstick, but would really love to find the blush. Thank you. Karen Martin, email
A: When you first try Tangee powder blush, remember that a little goes a long way, which is ideal since it’ll last for a good while. Tangee pressed powder blush looks like a soft rose color, but it’s formulated to compliment your specific complexion, resulting in a natural finish. You can find Tangee blush for $14.95 at The Vermont Country Store, 800-427-3855, vermontcountrystore.com.
