I'm Hungry!
HaRuMaN:
I've hoarded some of the pepsi and mountain dew throwback. Occasionally, I'll pick up some Coke that's made in Mexico, still made with sugar.

I certainly hope so. I don't drink a lot of soda, but when I do, I prefer the sugar-based ones.

Pepsi Throwback uses real sugar I believe.

So does Mountain Dew Throwback and Heritage Dr Pepper and yet they're impossible to find anymore. :badmood:

I could never even FIND Heritage Dr. Pepper around here. Everyone who carried throwback (I've got a couple in storage...) never got it, though my local IGA (the only place that still has Throwback too) just started selling Mexican Coke and Mexican Fanta.

At the costco here they sell cases of Mexican coke =)
It's funny how things have change in terms of what is considered green and the recycliing. When i was a kid (80s to 90s) my family and I would go to Mexico every year. The soda system worked differently than in the USA (not sure about today, but back then at least). Over there all the sodas use to be in glass bottles. You always... always had to return your glass bottle to the vendor after finishing the soda kids sometimes took their soda in these clear plastic bags they used to have (they'd throw a straw in it and tie a knot). If you broke the bottle you had to pay for it or replace it. They kept these bottles so that they could exchange them for new drinks when when the coke truck came by every week. It used to cost more to buy one if you didn't have a coke bottle to exchange. The soda company would then wash the bottles and reuse them, I'm not sure how they cleaned them but no one ever became sick from these.
Then in the late 90s they introduce the plastic and canned beverages. Those are becoming more and more popular. So let's be green and recycle those plastic and canned beverages. Just like in the USA a few years back, no one really recycles and there's really no means to do this, but the thing that bugs me is that the system that was in place before (exchanging and reusing glass bottles) was probably much more "green" than recycling is if you consider the effort it takes to create and recycle those materials. :soapbox:
Anyways.. here in Cali we have pro corn syrup commercials
"You're going to give your kid that to drink? but it has corn syrup?
Oh and what's so bad about corn syrup?
Uhhhh uhhh"
Has anyone seen these commercials? .. their angle is a little funny. You think it's bad, but why is it bad, You don't know? Oh.. I guess you're stupid! STFU and drink corny syrup! Then they site the one study they had commissioned to show that corn syrup had no side effects when consume in moderation.
a simple google scholar search gives you about 3 actual research articles (not second hand info that can sometimes be misconstrued) on the first page that questions the safety of of this sweetener.http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=corn+syrup
