I just can't help but be skeptical when Jay Leno (or others) interview college kids with a flurry of general knowledge(like geography)questions. I feel the same way but I feel even worse when they can name the 10 finalists of Idol but are unable to name their US Representatives or Senators. I take refuge in HOPING that the ones who do well are not shown because they are the "dog bites man" ho-hum stories. After all, I don't think that I was out of elementary school when I could answer what year the "War of 1812" was started or who was buried in Grant's Tomb.

Y'alls discussion of the niche-market Coca-Cola brands reminded me of the first non-cola[?] diet drink that I had in my youth, FRESCA! Introduced 3 years after Tab in 1966, it was the citrus'y "0 calorie" diet drink. According to the history on the net, it started by being sweetened cyclamates until banned by the FDA in 1969, then saccharin until '85 when it went Nutrasweet/Aspertame and then in 2005 that was supplemented with acesulfame potassium.
Ain't chemistry wonderful? Me, I'll either drink the original 0 cal beverage of di-hydrogen oxide or a decent root beer. Just call me old fashion!

All I know is Coke Zero is a better chase or mix for Wild Turkey 101.
Diet Coke is too sweet.

Wow, so T@b and FRESCA go all the way back to the ‘60s? I didn’t realize they had been around so long. I wonder how cyclamates taste compared to saccarine and other later sweeteners.
