Pepsi Throwup

[Nappa]

Wait a minute, what's this HFCS?

I've noticed though, that mountain here is not the same. When i went back home to india, the dew there was way better. More fizz (oddly enough) and the taste was better. Is this the stuff you guys speak of?

High-Fructose Corn-Syrup

HFCS = high-fructose corn syrup.

Pepsi (and Coca Cola) started using it instead in sugar in their US soft drinks in 1984; largely due to it's lower cost vs sugar. For products sold in many foreign markets, they still use sugar.

The Throwbacks are using a blend of cane and beet sugars.

You really think it tastes like beets? Corn syrup doesn't taste like corn...

The table sugar you most likely use is from beets. Not cane.

I went to mexico about 6-7 years ago. I felt the vengeance. Due to some events which make up a long story we were in a 5 star hotel. ******* gorgeous, and completely free for us. Every type of food you could imagine, but I was glued to the porcelain god 5 minutes after I would eat (on the plus side I lost 10lbs sitting down!) Day before we left we went on a snorkeling trip to this little town by the resort, this Mexican dude gave us pepsi and a burger as part of the trip. I figured "hell I'm already ******* my brains out after I eat so I don't give a **** if I get sick again." That was the greatest pepsi I've ever had in my life, and I abhor pepsi (cept wild cherry). I also didn't get sick.

Yeah. I've had a lot of Mexican coca cola. It's good. They must run the water through extra purification or something. Cause it's certainly never made me sick.

The Coca-Cola in Spain is also made with actual sugar, I found.

Table sugar is made from old tables.

Duh.

Duh.

I shudder to think what periodic tables are made of!

Ever hear of a thing called Swine Flu?

Most of those bottles were made in 1960s. Back then they haven't invented pork in Mexico yet. - We are safe!
