Who drank all my Fanta?

You made me smile.

Is that corn poppy red?

My new bottle of Lucky Orange. The orange made me think of Fanta. I thought that was a litte more internationally known for our friends around the world than the Orange Crush I used to drink growing up. For some reason my favorite Fanta flavor was Pineapple. My how tastes have changed...

I was a Grape woman back before carcinogenic colorings and high fructose corn syrup became issues.

 

Anyone else Southern enough to remember when an RC Cola and a Moonpie was the breakfast of champions?

Oh yes, indeed those were the days! And then in some parts of Tennessee folks said when drinking Orange Crush, "a yaller dope and a moon pie" was good enough for them!

Comparing factory OB vs a custom OB by Dan smith AKA nibsmith.

 

 

A note to TOM (and Ghost, and Pravda, Zaddick, et al)

[Ghost Plane]

Glad you're enjoying your nibs. We couldn't keep ALL the fun to ourselves.

Which one is which?

[BlueJ]

My question also. The Maecenas is obviously much wider, looking like an OBB if the 14K (I assume 149?) is OB. Also, what tip size/type was original to the reground nib?

 

Most importantly, how does Nibsmith's grind compare to the factory? Closely similar in feel? Or if different, in what ways?
