I’ll have to try that.

I really like the Diet Pepsi Mini cans...It seems the carbonation is higher in them...

“”””The recalled cans have the product code XXXXRS05165 with a ‘best by’ date of February 16, 2026. “”””

Diet soda with a ‘best by’ date 8 months into the future? That doesn’t match up with what I thought the shelf life of diet soda is.

My dear wife redirected my brain just now.   Diabetics (like me) drinking sugar water without knowing it, could be a really bad thing.

>>>couldn’t drink the ‘real’ stuff

The real stuff is the Green Label Dr Pepper.

Unfortunately in my area it disappeared two years ago.

The bottler decided that just placing two six packs of Green DP on shelves resolves the decades old law suite.

They probably do. A 12 oz can of carbonated beverage will lose more of its carbonated fizz as you get towards the end than the 7.5 oz mini cans..........

I too loathe diet soft drinks, yet every once in a while I want a Fresca. Just one, and then I’m good for months, even years. It’s odd, but that’s how it seems.

If the sugar not enough jolt for you do Mountain Dew the caffeine will give you a jolt of the shakes.

[Revel]

And if you are not diabetic you can just drink them or give them to someone who is not.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Does Dr. Pepper use real sugar? Or is it HFCS?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Now that you mention it, I'm ready for a Fresca right now.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

the High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) they use in today’s soft drinks instead of real sugar.

What's the chemical formula for fructose?

What's the chemical formula for "real sugar" (glucose)?

[Bikkuri]

It’s like me and tea.. after being in Japan for so long, drinking unsweetened tea, I don’t add sugar to my tea anymore.
(Texas ice tea = adding some tea to the sugar.. so big difference, and glad it’s been decades since I drank any.)

[ridesthemiles]

SLAP A NEW STICKY LABEL ON THEM & GIVE THEM TO THE MILITARY WHO ARE WORKING THE RIOTS.

STUPID TO DESTROY.

CANNOT ANYONE TODAY THINK OUTSIDE THE LINES???

[DeplorableTrumpSupporter]

Hand me either Hosmer Mountain, Avery’s, or Foxon Park sodas. Great tasting soda.

Tab

[Jamestown1630]

Oh, I grew up on Sweet Tea throughout the Summers of my youth; and wouldn’t want to give it up.

But that’s a different issue...

[dfwgator]

About ten years ago, I gave up all sodas (regular or diet) for sparkling water. Best decision I ever made.

[Jamestown1630]

Tab was horrible; but it was the only sugar-free soda you could get when it first came out.

[Red Badger]

Depends on where it’s made....
