damn hippees...

um, lemonade is pretty easy to make from scratch, and the best part is you can use brown sugar, honey or whatever you want to sweeten it up. make a gallon of the stuff and it'll last awhile. throw in a little vodka or rum to suit your mood

i never really noticed that non-diet stuff was hard to get, but i'd say the "hipees" as mentioned are not to blame. modern-day hippees prefer NATURAL, and i've had great lemonade and grapefruit sodas at the organic shops. Coke will always have real sugar, no matter how many diet versions they make. they learned not to mess with Coke Classic a long time ago. Root beer works too! tasty stuff.

Great next time I'm at Quiznos I'll ask them for some lemons, sugar, and water

Assuming they havent stopped serving regular sugar packets and replaced it all with splenda

I find this funny, have you ever compared the chemicals in diet soda to regular soda... it's not exactly a stunning difference. It'll eventually kill you either way.

Diet food isn't any healthier then regular food, nor is it any less healthy, the biggest problem is that people are willing to eat more of a product marked diet, so it works out to the same number of calories.

Reduce your caloric intake and increase your exercise even slightly and there will be a noticable change in your weight for the positive.

What stopped me from drinking cola

I wanted some empty 45 Gal. drums to use to make a floating dock at my cottage. On the way home from a town about 2 hours from here I noticed a big pile of blue plastic 45 Gal drums by the side of the road with abig for sale sign. w00t I say to myself as I pull in, turns out the guy has a field full of these drums in the back of his house and I pick up 4 for my dock. I notice the WHMIS sticker (Workplace hazerdous material information system, if you work in industrial setting, you'll know what it is, basically, replaces the old danger symbols poison,corrosive ect) on these drums. corrosive it sais..... I ask the guy, what was in these, I plan on putting them in the lake and dont want too kill the fish. He tells me not too worry, they have been washed out and are completely clean and held Coca Cola syrop for foutain pop machines, apperently the syrop on its own has a very high concentration of carbolic acid to do harm to you....

Yummy.

Since then, Iced tea...and the occational 7 Up.

Diet pop (or soda i guess you call it) is plenty addictive. Guess I'll have to donate my aspartame loaded body to science when the time comes. Either that or it'll be so well preserved from the stuff that natural "composting" or cremation will be impossible....10,000 years from now - space explorers find signs of life existed on the planet Earth...

I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that the CHP used to (or still does) carry coca-cola in the trunk to clean up blood splatter and whatnot at accident sites.

I can believe it, Coke is the poor mans toilet cleaner, just pour a can in the bowl before you go to bed, flush the next mornign and you have a shiney bowl.
