As I go to different countries (or even the same countries at different years), I usually find something different and unusual that I cannot always explain.
For instance, here in Qatar, practically every corner store has a shelf of cans of club soda, alongside the usual soft drinks. It is easier to find club soda here than it is in the US, UK or India, where people have an excuse for requiring club soda to mix with their alcohol. Qatar, on the other hand, is mostly dry. Alcohol can be bought, but only after a laborious application process.
So what do Qataris do with so much club soda?

Maybe Club soda is to Qatar what Coke is to us Texas. The term "Coke" is a general term. Coke can mean Sprite, Dr. Pepper, or even club soda. "What kind of coke would you like?"..."I'll take a 7-Up...thanks!"
Mix it with juice, of course. One-third juice to two-thirds club soda and you get a light, fizzy, juice drink. At least that's how some Mormon friends of mine in Pittburgh serve it up at all of their gatherings.
