Pesah ,the soda-water holiday.
Soda water( or in short "soda") was one of Czernowitz staples.
Sold in thick ,heavy glass bottles it was a most popular drink.
Drunk mixed with white wine it was known as" Spritz "and went
along with almost anything.
After you got drunk ,you could use it as a weapon.
No skull could withstand a well applied soda bottle strike.
These bottles were refillable at the so called Soda factories.
At Pesah father bought a soda container, a 20 liter copper cylinder
and we could drink soda unlimited!
