Every now and then Pepsi will put out Pepsi and Mountain Dew sweetened with cane sugar. I think it is called Throwback or something like that. I saw it in the spring at Target.
Re: corn. We grew about 45 acres of corn and after harvest, there were some ears on the ground that had been missed. I went around on the gator with my dogs and picked up a bunch and hubby had them shucked and shelled. We had a huge ice chest filled with corn and he left it at the back of our farm. Stuff came up and we forgot about the corn for about a week. Well, I got back there and lifted the lid, Whoa!!! It had turned to alcohol!!! I dropped the lid down but didn’t lock it and went back up to the barn. When hubby got around to getting to the ice chest to dispose of it about 4 days later, he lifted the lid and not one kernel of corn was left. Best we can figure is that the raccoons and deer had themselves quite a party. And most likely a huge hangover.
I swear the colas tasted different and better back in the, oh, fifties. Does the fructose-rich sweetener taste a little different from sucrose?
That is a riot! Sometimes, it will freeze early here when there are still berries on the pyracantha, barberry and other bushes. A few days later, cedar waxwings, titmice and other birds can be seen in the bushes, eating the fermenting berries, screeching and flying erratically for hours.
