If you mean me, I am talking to the guy that said it was 7 up and not soda. I am trying to tell him that there is actually something called club soda that was and is still used often in bars.  So I am the clown!  I also just heard on that IA podcast that its mentioned that the FBI did in fact order those cigarette butts to be destroyed back in early 70s?  That is my next joke

DB, you continue to show your ignorance.  I was a bartender once, so I do know the difference between soda, 7 UP, and tonic, and whatever drinks.  Here is a link from the Washington Post that mentions 7 UP.  It is in a 302, I just don't have it in front of me, but now I'm not going to waste my time with you.  Do some research before you go spouting off what you think you know.  "Muckler", it is Mucklow, everyone knows that.  This isn't Facebook, it's a forum with people who have been vetted and discuss the case from a knowledgeable standpoint.  We all may not get along, but we acknowledge that the others have expertise on the case.  Do some homework or leave here and go on Facebook or Reddit or the DZ instead.  Read some 302s or a legit book on the case from Bruce or Martin, then come back.

Hold on!!  Your calling me ignorant?  I was not even talking to you.  This is typical of the kind of attitudes I find here.  All know it alls.  I was only stating that Club soda is used often as a mixer for Gods sake  Then Mr DNA expert gives me the crap.  So you want to fight over a drink?  I amnot even reading the rest of the post after being name called twice in a day.  I have never seen anything but "bourbon and soda" referred to as to what DB Cooper ordered.  Go catch him for me EU if you read this.  Your dong a bang up job.  You will never catch him.  Hows that for a joke?   As for you, current poster, go have a Jack Daniels on me.  I am not a bourbon guy.

I am the guy who said 7 Up. So it is me you were referring to. If you mean well, then maybe pause for a minute and read through the posts before responding. EU has done a lot for this case. A lot.

How bout up your way, Andrade? (You do live in Minnesota don't you?) Have you ever heard anyone ask for a bourbon and soda?

Nope, I worked at a bar in the early 2000s and never heard anyone say that.

Bourbon and soda I have never heard before this case either.  But I am sure you have seen soda with other liquor?  Back in the 50s and 60s club soda was used quite a bit.  Its awful tasting IMO.  Tonic water is better IMO and that is not great.  OK with Gin

Not wanting to cause more issues but....isn't Jack Daniels a bourbon?   I didn't mean to start a ruckus over this topic, I just thought it was somewhat odd he would ask for a "bourbon and soda", if in fact that is what he ordered?   As far as what EU is proposing...I think I  am going to need more convincing evidence. (In my humble opinion) As a former smoker, I  can remember using matches quite a bit. I  always was on the lookout for free matches. I  usually kept at least a few packs on me. It  seems like he could have picked up the matches at any number of places. As far as money goes...Who's to say? Maybe .he ate beforehand, paid with a 50 dollar bill, kept the two twenty dollar bills and left the rest as a tip? I really don't know but seems to me there are lots of possibilities?  Just my opinion.

YES, Jack Daniels is a bourbon, so is Jim Beam.  And to the above poster, you are absolutely right, scotch and soda is pretty popular.  I prefer scotch to bourbon. Boubon is pretty sweet.   I think its called "sour mash whiskey" also?  Buts JD is bourbon.  I watched a show on the process.  Its quality.

It was a bourbon and soda!!  Why do you twist it to a bourbon and 7 up?  Are you nuts about 7 up?  Soda is CLUB SODA. Never heard of it?  Ever hit a bar in your life?  I was 14 when he jumped.  I know how the old boys ordered a drink back in the day.  I worked in restaurants as a cook.  A bourbon and soda is a bourbon and soda.  Not that it matters or will solve this case.  But the poster that wants to twist the facts is dead wrong. Why dont you try and get Muckler or the other sky girl who is hidden somewhere in S Carolina to tell  you what soda mean?  It means soda   Not 7 UP   Even now if someone goes into a bar and is at a social event and does not want to drink, perhaps he or she is an alcoholic?  They usually order a club soda.  Awful tasting stuff I will grant you that.  But no sugar. 

On a more important topic, just how intensive was the search in Canada?  I would think that would be important based on the french comic book and the use of the term "American currency".  Did the Canadian authorities go after this with the same enthusiasm that the US did?  Somehow I doubt it.

If you’re referring to me, mate, well I’m sorry for your anger issues. Merely my opinion based on how popular 7&7 was at the time of the hijacking - particularly as served on planes. While, I’m not a bartender, I’ve drank enough booze and closed enough bars to know the difference between club soda and 7-Up. Having an alcoholic Irish Catholic dad helped too (he kicked the habit btw).

The drink you’re referring to is a Bourbon Rickey which is far less common an order than 7&7.

I certainly could be wrong, but I’d be shocked if I am. Either way, perhaps you should relax and have one - unless warm milk is more your style.
