I hear theres a bottling operation down in Texas that makes Dr Pepper with
sugar cane instead of the high fructose corn syrup they use now. They sell
it online, but it's like $15 (with S&H) for a 24 case of 12 oz cans.

For people with corn allergies?
I don't like soda either, but there is always a water fountain or bathroom
around.

sugar prices in this country are kept artifically high...so most soda pop use
corn syrup now-a-days. The Dr. Pepper with the sugar cane is what was used
in the original recipe.

Yes, Diet Pepsi is my standard drink 'o choice. Nice to know it has less
caffeine than many other brands.
Anywho, I will on occasion diverge off the normal path and try something
like Diet Pepsi with Lime (which is pretty tasty- though I would rather
just buy a lime and cut a slice off into my drink). Also, Wild Cherry
Pepsi is nice, as is Dr Pepper.
Rock-n-Rye is fabulous to make ice cream floats out of.
In college I used to drink whatever was on sale of Diet Coke or Pepsi-
which is when I actually first had Diet Pepsi- I grew up in a Coke
drinking household.

re #28 ever have Pepsi One? I like Pepsi One better since they re-
formulated it using Sucralose (Splenda) as the sweetener.

I am trying to cut caffeine out of my drink repertoire, so I'm finding myself
loving caffeine free diet pepsi.

re resp:29 no. Don't drink Pepsi One. I like my aspartame. ;) Actually
it's more habit and availability. I can count on Diet Pepsi being much
more available than Pepsi One in vending machines, or at
restaurants/movie theaters, etc. I would rather have a primary drink
that was available.
re resp:30 The Plan includes cutting back on my caffeine intake, but
slowly. Good to hear that the caffeine free version of my addiction is
pretty good. :)

coke Zero and Diet Coke have drastically different tastes. Coke Zero tastes
a lot like regular Coke. It has that classic coke "bite".
Diet Coke does not.
I hate Diet Coke, and I do not drink it - ever. I'd rather have water. But
I do like Coke Zero, and I usually have one every morning.
Coke Zero is for people who like coke. It is NOT for people who like Diet
Coke. Most Diet coke drinks I know are not fans of Coke Zero.

I switched from Pepsi to Diet Coke 8 years ago when I started work at a
company who gave employees free pop. Diet Coke tastes a lot more like
Pepsi than Diet Pepsi.

IIRC, Diet Coke was formulated at a time when Coke was starting to lose market
share to Pepsi. So they purposefully made it taste more like Pepsi (which
I hate).
Based on the popularity of Diet Coke, and the continuing decline of the market
share of Coke v. Pepsi, the Coca Cola Company reformulated their flagship
product to what we all now know as the New Coke. New Coke was fabulously
popular in all the marketing tests they did. The taste tests were great.
Everyone liked New Coke.
Of course, market testing isn't everything.
Coke market share increased dramatically after they reintroduced the original
formula as Coca Cola classic, and while Coca Cola Classic still dominates
Pepsi today, both companies make a lot more money off their Diet brands.

I never drank regular Pepsi, growing up it was always Coke. Then when I
was in my teens somewhere we started getting Diet Coke for my mom and I.
She still drinks Diet, but prefers hers flat.

When I was a kid, it was a big deal to walk up to the local party store
and buy a Pepsi. I think they cost fifty cents or something like that.
My dad would sometimes give us money for a pop and we would walk the
half mile to the store. I almost always bought a Pepsi which came in a
half liter glass bottle. I miss Pepsi that was made with sugar and came
in glass bottles. But, since pop isnt really good for a person, it is
just as well because if they still sold that kind, I would probably
drink more of it.

In the spring, around Passover, in some areas, you can get coke that's
made without corn syrup. It still comes in plastic bottles, tho. I
don't think I've seen Pepsi like that, however.

Why is it with some diet coke that when you pour it onto ice in a glass then
it makes a ton of foam and leaves no carbonation or bubbles left in the
beverage?

I think that sometimes has to do with leftover detergent in the glass.

We wash our glasses with dish soap..no detergents. I'm curious if the
icecubes themselves maybe have a chemical from the tap that causes the
carbonation to fizz out?

re #42- the Plan is simply a means of living healthier- eating better,
getting more excercise, etc.
And yes, she's weird. I had to inherit it from somewhere....
