Regular Mountain Dew is too damn sweet (odd to say being a soda drinker), a can these days makes me consider throwing up from all the sugar. Kickstarter is pretty decent though, probably because they cut the sugar down by about a 1000. (Mountain Dew is better then Rockstar Punched though, that stuff is horribly syrupy sweet, and it feels like it coats your mouth in it too).

Someone mentioned Cheerwine. I'd never heard of it until I lived in North Carolina. Cheerwine seemed ok (though not my preference), but the weird thing about that part of the country is that they cook with it. I was at a local market where someone was selling Cheerwine Cake. It was like a pound cake or a bundt cake, but made with Cheerwine. They also had Dr. Pepper Cake.

I got invited to Sunday dinner at someone's house: they made Pepsi chicken. It was basically chicken baked in a Pepsi bath: Glass baking dish, buncha chicken parts, a can-and-a-half of Pepsi, into the oven at 350.

Nice people. I thanked them for dinner, but I didn't have seconds.

Man, that Moxie sure rubbed off on you.

If you're going to make a pound cake with alcohol, it had better be done like zuppa inglese or gtfo. Even then, you don't use shitty alcohol (that also doesn't mean you go buy a bottle of the Queen's Jubilee Scotch either).

Cheerwine isn't alcohol...

Anybody know if vault is still available? That stuff was pretty awesome but I haven't seen it around in a couple years.

There's this place in Gilbert Az I had stopped at once called Joe's real bbq, and they had a really solid microbrewery for root beer. I think I still prefer A&W, but it was good.

Anybody remember 7-upside down? It was a green caffeinated 7-up. It was only available for a year or so sometime around '02. It was pretty awesome.

1) Mexican Coke
2) Tamarind Jarrito
3) Fanta IFF it's in slurpee form
4) Other drinks I can't remember

DJ....totally forgot Mexican Coke. For those of you who dont know. The Coke that is shipped to Mexico is made of Cane sugar not syrup. It's a way better taste. A small mexican place here in Philadelphia pays slightly more to get these bottles delivered before they ship the the philadelphia coke plant.

1. Dr. Pepper
2. Root Beer (any brand)
3. Big Red
4.Sunkist orange
5. Lemonade (I know not a soda)

It depends.

I'll take a Mexican Coke (the way ALL Coke used to be made) over a modern Pepsi.
I'll also take a Throwback Pepsi over any modern corn syrup Coke (the way Coke should never have been made).

Sugar > Corn Syrup
