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

[thome]

About 4 years ago I was in central northern missouri and I happened to be inside the last -Pepsi "Glass" Bottle Distribution Plant- left in the United States.
They were closing that year. Glass has to be cleaned collected washed you know..... plastic will kill people, but it is cheaper to manufacture...ble blla you know..... buyer beware.

I asked if i could have one and was directed to the employee lounge....

Original formula Pepsi in those tiny 10 oz bottles -GLASS- and inside the plant it is free, from one of those old .... vertical row open the glass door pull the bottle out by the sharp metal bottle cap cut your finger old style gas station machines.

I swear to you it was the finest soft drink I have ever tasted and I am not a Pepsi guy.

I would pay extra for the Artisan Style Retro products....Artisan style.??????....perhaps I would pay extra for things made the way they should be...

I did find a pop the other day that was made with pure cane sugar a ...cream soda, good stuff.


Here is what the label said, Water, Cane Sugar, Vanila...that was all.

I got such a woody I almost stole it thinking it was from god.

Glass bottles definitely make it taste better. That's why I'll pay twice the price for the Mexican Coke. I don't buy anything in plastic bottles when I can help it.

Wish Pepsi would include the glass as part of their retro-marketing. If not, I'll probably go with the cans. Aluminum beats plastic.

I don't think they use high fructose corn poison anywhere else, so it wouldn't be necessary.

Different name out here apparently... "isoglucose".

Can't say if it's used or not, at the moment.

...and aluminum still sucks...

Everybody was exicted here years ago when we finally got beer in cans.

Worse thing that could of ever happened IMO...



Cans cool quickly but you can not beat a bottled beer right out of a cooler full of ice and ice water.

[thome]

They -The Them- you know...?

Spray the inside of the cans with Polyurethene the same stuff on your hardwood floors..only it probably is without the addition of aluminum oxide or lead oxide for added durability...lol
To: separate the product from contact with aluminum and thus no "tinnny" taste is emparted to the beverage.

completely innert when converted to the plastic.after the vehicle has evaporated off it still can degrade but outgassing is null.

The toxicity is time based for a certain shelf life to FDA Standards...I wouldn't drink from a 2 year old plastic beverage..lol



I know they do it for beer but I suspect it is a wide spread practice.

The only non-glass I drink out of other than glass, is 1/4 inch thick "hard" Rigid... plastic glasses like in my cabinet, I have one... 16 oz clear one. Ice water on the deck drinking glass......... booze or beer goes in glass silica only.

I would rather die of thirst than drink bottled water from those wiggly soft thin evian ...or whatever bottles .

The "liberal jagg offs" (unthinking trend chasers.) have made the plastic more biodegradeable to save the planet all the while you all are digesting pre degraded /advanced degraded plastic petro chemicals.

Jogging for health at the bussiest intersection in town at rush hr sukking in more petro and poison than a lead mine worker does in a year.While sukking on a gloppy pool of semidegraded vinyl and H2O.

They would probably be better off shoving it up thier ASS!

A polymer is a polymer in chunky shards... in the land fill... or wet semi digraded pools of poly snot...I can tell you wich one is better for our world but no-one listens....

It won't kill you. Plastics has saved this world and made it safer and more livable ,but I wish people could see trash floating in the river is no different than the trash container they are shoving whatever in.. whatever hole they shove it in.

I will never forget River Pheonix shooting Heroin and Coke in his arm but standing up for PETA and declaring how healthy you would be without Red Meat in your diet like he did.

Sad to say, him dead, in a pool of his own ego, vomit and rot made me laugh.

My apologies to his family.

There is a special place in Hell for people like me. for that comment........

[FORD]

Yeah, aluminum definitely isn't as good as glass. Grew up in a household where all the beer and pop in the house was in cans. The reasons were purely economic - my dad worked for the can company.

Now that he's retired I only see bottled beer in his refrigerator. Go figure

[thome]

He you guys wanna make a million bucks lets invent glass beverage containers single serving... that are stackable.... it's all about shipping and storage...hmmmm
re-design the bottle....silica is silica.......natural....

shhh....our little secret........


must preserve presciuos body fluids.......clear water......grain alcohol......

Now excuse me I have run out of ciggaretts and idealistic moral condemnation.

[FORD]

Glass bottles are stackable..... or at least they are when they're in cardboard boxes.

[thome]

I heard they trace check for aluminum, in some part of the brain during autopsy ...when attempting to determine the diagnosis of ahlzhiemers..(sp)

A family member of mine went thru that and I think that was what was done. I wasn't real close, but listened in on a few conversations..?


I seriously doubt plastic or aluminum beverage ingestion is the world main issue.
We can determine what we prefer for our own tastes....mine are biggoted.

I will normaly drink the closest beverage to me even if it comes out of a radiator...... from a junkyard 32 Ford.

I also LOVE Ramen Noodles in the Styrefoam Cup with 5 days worth of salt in it.With those tiny little shrimp...mmmmm

I just don't dig people legislating me into believing a bunch of bunk BS.

[FORD]

Yeah, I've heard about the possibility of a connection between aluminum and alzheimers. There may be something to it, which is why I don't drink out of cans very often.

But as I said, my dad worked in the industry for over 30 years, and he's pushing 78 with a memory probably better than mine, so I take that as a good sign that the connection isn't all that conclusive.

[Seshmeister]

I almost always get cans rather than plastic bottles. It's not about taste it's about temperature, plastic bottles won't get as cool in the fridge.

[rustoffa]

Is there such thing as good jack?

I was spoiled on Crown Royal...and not the blended version I see at the Duty Free shops either...

Thanks for the endearing background concerning your brushes with maple leaf liquor. I guess we'll all just start chugging plastic bottle bourbon while you nurse slow-dripping nectar from non-blended sources!!

[Guitar Shark]

Man, I wish stoff would post more.

Someday Scotland will discover ice, and your troubles will be over....

Yet another reason to avoid HFCS like the plague.
