i'm freaking hooked.

 

I'm scared because it uses "natural sugar." what do the use in the regular stuff?

 

artificial sweeteners.

this throwback stuff is probably less bad for you than regular pepsi.

 

yeah dude, the throwback pepsi is way better than any other cola out there right now. except maybe the Hansen's cola, which is pretty much the same kind of thing. i never realized how much of a difference cane sugar vs. corn syrup makes.

 

corn syrup

 

uh, its still soda man. That's like saying cancer is less bad for you than aids.

 

this is true.

 

Yeah, my diabetic *** will stick to diet

 

that's why i said "less bad" instead of "better".


diet's not exactly great for you either.

 

If you're think of the medical study that said that the artificial sweetener caused cancer, then I'd suggest rereading it and doing some deeper digging. The "doctors" were ficticious and it was subliminally promoting a different bran of sweetener. If it really caused cancer there would be surgeon general warnings on anything containing that kind of sweetener.

 

not the sweeteners that i was referring to. regardless of what the sweetener is, the other ingredients in soda are absolutely horrible for your body.

 

I still prefer the mexican cokes/pepsi from taco trucks

 

I just had some on my lunch today.... it kicks ***!

 

I thinks that's technically the same as 'throwback' in that coke/pepsi from most other countries uses cane sugar. The US uses High Fructose Corn Syrup for everything because there has been a glut of corn since the end of WW2 - the whole reason that HFCS was developed in the first place (far cheaper than cane sugar here). It's actually a really interesting history lesson - check out Michael Pollan's book 'Omnivores Dilemma'.

 

ill have to grab one, sounds legitty
