Good news for HFCS haters: Pepsi & Mt. Dew about to release a limited run with sugar!

[ODShowtime]

I bought some glass bottle pepsi this week at the gas station that appears to be bottled in US but had sugar instead of the HFCS. Like mexipepsi but with a fancy bottle. Yummy.

I'm sorry but I just wish it was still the 70s. What wasn't better then? Video games... ok ANYTHING else at all??

I can remember the 70's. Carter was president and disco was the rage and everyone said things sucked and they wished it was the 1950's again.

If you like Apple flavored soda, and if you can find it in the Great Northwest, try a Mexican brand called Sidral Mundet. There's a regular version that is pretty good, and a green apple one that is exceptional.

It sounds like something that would give you the shits.

Led Zeppelin, Pittsburgh Steelers, big old bushes, smokin' cigs everywhere, everyone doin coke, new music was good; sounds awesome.

I have a feeling everyone and everything in the 70s stunk to high heaven like cigarettes and BO though.

And stale beer dregs...
Here's a thing, today at the local discount joint I bought a 6 pack of Dr Peppers canned in the U.K. of all places. $8.

Now don't laugh, ok? For years I've thought coke is way too sweet. I think it stems back to my childhood at the race track. (My fam was heavily involved in horse racing). You'd get a postmix coke from the bar, and it had a bigger water/syrup ratio, and ice half filling the glass. So I water it down. Half half is a bit too weak, 70/30 is perfect.

I'll let ya's know what the British Doctor tastes like later, drinking VB now.

Pepsi blows.

[ashstralia]

No, it's Dr Peppers. Do you like Earl Grey tea and Tim Tams when you're stoned? I do.

[Satan]

I miss Red Bull Cola. It was less sweet than Coke and certainly Pepsi, and it was all natural flavor, with real sugar.



Somebody (probably Coca-Cola Inc. or Pepsico) started a nasty rumor that it had cocaine in it, reality is that they used the same "unleaded" coca leaves that they use in Atlanta, so you would have to drink an entire pallet of the stuff to get the equivalent of snorting a line.

But the rumor spread in the hysterical media and all the stores panicked and took it off the shelves. And mind you, that was up on Earth. The distribution here in Hell was even far more problematic on a good day.

The reason I bought the British Pepper, mr zub, is it says it has actual sugar. Where that sugar came from, I've no idea.

[Satan]

As far as I know, the corn poison is only used in the US. Though I'm sure Monsanto would love to change that. And probably will if your mortal governments are gullible enough to pass the Trans Pacific Partnership.

[ashstralia]

Sugar is a big industry where I live. Real sugar from cane pressed in 100 year old mills.

Nobody is ever going to confuse sugar for health food, but the bottom line with any carbohydrate is that the more refined it is, the less likely it is that your mortal bodies are going to be able to do anything useful with it. And the HFCS is the worst of those, not to mention it comes from a GMO source, and uses toxins in the processing.

What the fuck's Tim Tams? [googling] Oh damn those look pretty good.

[Satan]

No, it's Dr Peppers. Do you like Earl Grey tea and Tim Tams when you're stoned? I do.

A succubus that I dated a few years back got me briefly hooked on Apple Jacks cereal with vanilla ice cream for post-bong munchies.

Oddly appropriate for the wake & bakers.

[ashstralia]

Yeah OD, everyone who tries Tim Tams loves 'em!

If it was still the 70s, than we wouldn't have gotten THIS.

[Satan]

well.... except for the fact that half of that album was written in the 70s.

Yep... the glass bottle Pepsi is at my local neighborhood store as well. The bottles are similar to that "Pepsi Natural" stuff that they put out a few years back, that tasted more like liquid brown sugar than Pepsi.

They also have Mountain Dew in green glass bottles, with a 70s/80s label on it.

Curiously enough, neither bottle says "throwback" on it. Maybe they figured that the glass bottle should be enough of a clue that it's "old school". Tastes better than the cans or the plastic bottles though, so let's hope they keep making it.

[FORD]

That apple stuff's not bad. There's a tortilla store/taqueria a couple miles down the road that sells them. They also have MexiCoke in 16 oz glass bottles, which I haven't seen anywhere else (the 12 oz bottles are easy enough to find now, of course)

[Satan]

The black can variety hasn't reached Hell yet, so I don't know whether this is more like the "Throwback" Pepsi, or that "Natural" stuff they had out in glass bottles a few years back that tasted more like liquid brown sugar than anything else.

The Ginger flavor is most unholy indeed. Haven't tried it as a mixer yet, but I'll bet it would go fantastic with rum or tequila.

Think I'll take some of this over to Kim Jong Il's Bulgogi BBQ Restaurant. It would mix great with Korean food.....
