That's a big thing here in the states. They charge more money for it. Most soda pop here is made using high fructose corn syrup. And every once in a while they will run some stuff out made with sugar. They call it throwback, or retro. Something like that. To make the point that that's the way it was way back when, when your grandma was a little girl. A regular 20 ounce bottle of Coke run you about 50 to 75 cents. A 10 ounce bottle of Coke from Mexico, which is made with sugar, runs about $2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Still won’t drink Pepsi!! Just tastes flat and nasty to me! Either Coke or RC are vastly superior in flavor to me. YMMV!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is More Caffeine in Mountain Dew than in Pepsi and most coffee . But Coffee and Mountain Dew both taste better than that stuff called Pepsi.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I used to be a four to six can a day Coca Cola man. I rediscovered sarsaparilla a couple of years back, but only two brands are sold locally and they are often out of stock. I have found that Dr. Pepper is a fair substitute. I keep Coke, Sprite, and A&W root beer on hand for visitors.....and Ovaltine, Crystal Light sweet tea, peach tea, and lemonade, too.....and bottled water.....and regular and decaf coffee.....and a few various kinds of tea bags. A person may starve at my place but they will never be dehydrated or thirsty unless they want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 For health reasons, I had to give up all sodas; before that, I was an 8-10 Diet Cokes per day drinker. I don't drink coffee or tea; never have. That left me with water, basically. Now, I use Sunkist or Crush orange drink powders. Mix one with 16 oz. of spring water, and pour it over ice. No fat, no caffeine, no sugar, no corn syrup, almost no calories. Sure cures the water boredom. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 My spouse's cancer doctor told her to only sweeten with stevia, or monk fruit....NEVER anything else....especially high fructose corn syrup, or sugar. He told her sugar, and high fructose corn syrup, feeds cancer cells, and also that is one reason we have an epidemic of type 2 diabetes in this country, and one reason why we know so many others (and perhaps ourselves included), have, and are dealing with, cancer. He recommended a book to read, entitled: Sugar Blues, by William Dufty. Perhaps, if we can read, we should all read that book. Of course it might tell us some things we had rather not hear, so that could be a "reason" not to read it. Just passing on what the cancer doctor told her. (I saved you some money on a doctor visit, by telling you that for free, by the way.) For soft drinks, we buy "Zevia", in various flavors (black cherry, root beer, cola, cherry cola, ginger ale, "Dr" Zevia). It contains stevia as a sweetener, and not high fructose corn syrup, or white refined sugar. No, it doesn't taste as good, but it beats feeding cancer, and/or acquiring type 2 diabetes...wouldn't you say? There ya go. W.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.D. Daily Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Real sugar is premium stuff in the US; because, of the import restrictions & tariffs to protect the income of millionaire owner sugar growers in FL, MS & LA. The cost of sugar got so high for the candy maker Brach's that they moved to Canada. Pretty much all processed foods & beverages now use high fructose corn syrup to save cost.
