I've always _suspected_ but I managed to acquire unquestionable,
unassailable evidence only a week ago. It also looks like every
manager is a closet Pepsi drinker.

It could be something as sinister as that, yes. Perhaps the
phenylalanine bonds with the aspartame when in the presence
of a catalist Pepsi doesn't list in their ingredients which act as
a brufoine (sp?) inhibiter. The mind-numbed zombies which
result not only vote for George W. Bush (Bush Baby) but also
end up signing on with the Scientology cult.
Pepsi drinkers are the AOL users of the soft drink world.

I saw
many people
reduced to
incoherent babbling,
stripping off clothes,
crawling around on the ground,
banging heads, limbs and other body parts
against furniture and walls,
barking,
losing all sense of one's identity
and intense and persistent suicidal ideation.

That's true. Snorting coke is marginally worse than drinking Pepsi.

You got that right. Pepsi is shite, and Coke went shite
when they went for the Pepsi formula. We don't get the
'classic' drink in Oz, so I'm left drinking Fanta day
in day out.
Other drinks that make me wanna puke: Jolt (twice the
caffiene, half the taste), RC Cola (universal joke cola)
and Doctor Pepper.
What I'd give for a can of original coke...
BTW, phosporic acid as used in Pepsi and to a lesser
extent in Coke, is also used as an industrial toilet
cleaner, and believe me, sniff a little of the toilet
cleaner and a sniff of Pepsi, and you can tell. Man,
that stuff really does make those grogans fizz!

Coke 'classic' isn't the original formula as they substituted Nutrasweet for
cane sugar.

Heresy! Mountain Dew is the one, true, citrus cola. Hmmm . . . not sure
if "citrus cola" makes any sense, but no matter.
Granted, it tastes horrible, but they all do, and you don't drink it for
the taste anyway. . . and the citrus cola bit may well explain the taste.

Yes, if you live down at the trailor park.
On survival training in the desert near Indian Springs, Nevada, I had
to eat and drink some pretty awfull things, but _nothing_ I managed to
trap and eat tasted as bad as Mountain Dew.

Nope. "Classic Coke" has high-fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar.
"Diet Coke" has Nutrasweet.

Yeah? I'll have to try that. The cult Bar Bee Qued Stacey Moxon
a couple of months ago out at their armed and heavily fortified
compound in Gilman Springs, California. (My brother was outside
the cult protesting when they fried her.) I wonder if the autopsy
found inexplicable parts missing.

It's fructose, not Nutrasweet. You're thinking of Diet Coke.

"Coke Classic" is sweetened with corn syrup, actually. The Coke prior to
"New Coke" had cane sugar as its primary sweetener. Apparently, you can get
"Coke Classic" with cane sugar in certain areas.

As I understand it, standard practice in the soft drink industry is to
use either cane sugar or corn syrup, depending on which is cheaper that
week.

One of those books such as "Why do Clocks Run Clockwise and other

No, the minority of "diet" soft drinks use Nutrasweet, the great
majority of soft drinks (in Britain) use sugar. It says sugar on
the label, and it means sugar, from sugar beet... which is cheaper
than any of the alternatives, over here.

Only the edible sections...I've found that not all parts of the typical
Scientologist are suitable for consumption. For example, the brains of most
of the higher mammals make for a delicious dessert-like treat, but the brains
of a Scientologist are sour, bitter, withered and tough (due to rigidity) to
an extent that renders them essentially inedible...

Good Goddess! My tastebuds must be going, I honestly can't taste the difference

Whew...that's a relief...for a moment there I thought my taste buds must be so
damaged that I was going to give up cooking, despite the lack of any
complaints. High-fructose corn syrup is OK in my book (though I really don't
understand why they felt the need to switch over from good ol' cane sugar,
perhaps it is more expensive?...)

Interesting...I have thought Coke has tasted better in certain regions than
others, but had previously discounted it as my imagination...perhaps certain
regions are more likely to obtain one ingredient than the other and as such
usually have the better product (seems like the Southern states tend to have the
tastiest Coke).

LOL! That version is so "classic" I seriously doubt anybody here is old enough to
have been alive when it was produced, much less tried it! (IIRC, it had cocaine
in it either towards the end of the 19th century or the beginning of this
one--bearing in mind that it won't actually be the 21st century 'till after

I occasionally have a vanilla Coke (vanilla extract in glass-contained ice-cold
Coke, cause plastic-bottled coke tastes like shite and aluminum-contained Coke is
pretty mediocre unless used to mix alcoholic drinks), but other than that I avoid
soda pop and stick with water, coffee, beer, and hard liquor (not necessarily always
in that order).

Scary thing is that even as of this date after being busted for that he is
still pretty much neck-and-neck with Gore...
>depressed sigh<
...I was _really_ hoping that incident would take him down far enough that I
would not have to vote for Gore just to keep him out of office, but it looks
like I'm gonna have to vote for Gore after all...

Fanta's still out there -- it was everywhere when I was a kid, but even all
these decades later, it's still out there where you can find it. (I've seen
it in a Fuddruckers here in Houston, and as far away as South Dakota, of all
places.)

You'd detect the taste change if you ever got hold of a bottle of Coke before
they changed it.

My bottle says "high fructose corn syrup".

Exactly. Which is the reason the High-fructose corn syrup back the sugar
quota system. If the price of sugar sunk to world levels they would not
have a market.

Six of one, half dozen of the other. I always thought of fructose as sugar
derived from fruits, but I guess it's reasonable that sugars from corn are
fructose as well.

Okay, simple organic chemistry (from memory). Any chemical that is
considered a "sugar" ends in "-ose", and there are different sugar
names, based on the number of carbon atoms in the chain. Sugars
are carbohydrates, which means they have carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen. Glucose is the simplest sugar, and is the sugar that the
body uses in metabolism. There are other sugars, such as fructose,
lactose, maltose, and sucrose (there are others but damned if I can
remember them). IIRC all sugars get broken down by digestion into
glucose, which is transported through the blood stream to cells,
or polymerized into fat. The prefixes kind of refer to where the
first chemists isolated the particular sugar type, lact-ose for
milk, fruct-ose for fruit. But glucose occurs in just about everything
including fruit, and fructose occurs in places other than fruit,
such as grain. Lactose so far as I know only occurs in milk, but
there are other sugars. Oh, yeah, ribose is a sugar that occurs in
DNA (Deoxy ribo Nucleaic Acid) and RNA (Ribo Nucleaic Acid) which
means every single organism has ribose.
Anyway, "high fructose corn syrup" means that there are lots of
fructose molecules in solution, as opposed to sucrose, which is
a complex sugar. Oh, yeah, the different molecules affect the
taste buds in different ways, the simpler sugars don't register
as "sweet" as the more complex sugars, from what I've heard glucose
hardly tastes sweet at all, fructose is more sweet than glucose,
and sucrose is sweeter than them.
Lesson over, please review your textbooks, chapter 6, "Fermentation."
Please perform research and prepare a report when you regain
consciousness.

I believe the sugars are converted to glycogen before they're used by
the cell.

I agree; on a hot day pop just leaves my mouth sticky and the need for refreshment
is that much stronger; in my book, nothing else quenches a real thirst like good
ol' plain water...

There are a whole bunch of related chemicals which are sugars, and have the
'ose' suffix. Glucose, sucrose, frutcose, maltose etc are all different (but
similar) chemicals.

Easy! Because that's the way the shadow on a sundial moves in the northern
hemisphere. That's also why clocks only have 12 hours on the face.

Because I know that it is gonna be either Bush or Gore to win this particular
election, and if Bush wins, this country will go to shite...if he were not still
up in the polls, I would vote for my preferred candidate even though I know he
would lose to Gore just to make a statement...
Ms Mystry
I see what you mean. I am voting for Gore for the same reasons pretty much.
