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

[Dr. Love]

BVOs are testicle killers.

Does it still use Brominated Vegetable oil?

I think that's the secret behind Mountain Dew addiction!

Unfortunately it does

I didn't notice that on the label until after I drank it. Can't say I feel too good about that. Or really understand exactly WHY it's in there.

[Dr. Love]

BVOs act as an agent to keep the solution suspended so it doesn't seperate. It's used in most citric drinks.

Red Bull Cola is the best tasting soda I've ever had!

But I do love the JONES products as well.

I also think Pepsi should bring back CRYSTAL PEPSI without HFCS!

I never drink soda but I was craving a Coke today. Maybe I'll look for some of that Red Bull Cola and check it out.

[Satan]

I've got to see if we can get some of that Red Bull Cola down here in Hell. The distribution for the MexiCoke sucks, and I'm not even bothering with this new/old Pepsi because the damn plastic bottles melt too easily around here.

[FORD]

Good call on the Red Bull Cola, WARF! Picked up a 4 pack of it tonight.....



Reminds me of something.... not quite sure what.... maybe the old RC cola before they ruined it with HFCS.

I like this stuff though..... all natural flavorings (who would have guessed mustard seed and pine extract?) and a bit less sugar than Coke or Pepsi.

Downside.... It's priced like an energy drink rather than a cola, and only comes in aluminum cans, like all Red Bull products. But that's OK, because I don't drink the shit like water anymore anyway, but I will be drinking this stuff again

Here's another new entry in the cane sugar soda sweepstakes.....

Thomas Kemper's Ginger Peach.....


Thomas Kemper has been making "premium sodas" for years. They used to make beer too, but I think they sold that line off to Pyramid Ales. Hell, maybe it's still the same company? They use the same brown bottles in either case.

Anyway.... Kemper started out using HFCS in their products, but they switched to cane sugar a few months back, probably because Jones was kicking their ass in the market shares. I like their Root Beer and Ginger Ale, but I've been less than impressed with their fruit flavors in the past (cherry, orange, and grape) as they were way too sweet, and seemed to taste more like carbonated KoolAid than the actual supposed flavor. So I was a little skeptical of something called "Ginger Peach", but it was on sale, so what the fuck?? I'll drink just about anything once.

Thankfully, it's more Ginger Ale than peach, and the spice offsets the sweetness. Very well done, Thomas Kemper. If you drink Ginger Ale, or if you're an alcoholic with 12 stepper friends who drink Ginger Ale, might want to pick some of this stuff up.

I found the Mt Dew throwback. Now I remember why I didn't drink it much as a kid.



I'll be sticking with the Snapple lemon tea.

Haven't gotten the Pepsi yet.

[FORD]

Here's some good news for those of you who prefer non-carbonated beverages......

Both Snapple and SOBE have switched to sugar in their teas and fruit-based drinks.

Snapple - Made from the Best Stuff on Earth

SoBe World - Teas and Juices

Haven't gotten the Pepsi yet.

GOT SOME!!! Good stuff!

I decided to conduct a little experiment with the Dew and Pepsi at a family gathering yesterday. I brought the throwback Pepsi, Dew and regular Coke in my cooler, while everyone else had the HFCS shit in theirs.

End of the night, I take a look to see what's left where...The younger bunch finished off ALL the throwback Dew, and left 4 or 5 in the other cooler.

All but one throwback Pepsi was gone (I had a lot to do with that), and there was still lots of regular Coke and Pepsi left in every one's coolers.

Of course I passed some out when I arrived, but by the end of the day, I'd say it was a hit with everyone who never realized that the ingredients had changed.

[ELVIS]

I never cared for Pepsi or Mountain Dew, and I like both of the throwback versions, especially the Pepsi...

I'm gonna have to try that Red Bull crap...

[hideyoursheep]

I'm gonna have to try that Red Bull crap...

Meh..I didn't care for it.

[Seshmeister]

If you drink a couple of jugs of it with a bottle of tequila it's impossible to sleep.

If you drink a couple of jugs of it with a bottle of tequila it's impossible to sleep.

Does that mean Hagar will be selling it at Chickenshit concerts to keep the crowd awake?

[FORD]

Oh shit.... better grab that Red Bull Cola while you can get it. Probably won't be on the shelves for long.....

You would have to drink 12,000 fucking liters to equal one line of coke, but that won't matter to the "Reefer Madness/ War On Drugs" right wing mental cases
