It's very "1001 Science Experiments To Do In Your House" where 999 of them don't work, one of them gives you a disapponting sugar crystal on a piece of string but one of them creates a moment of sheer transcendant joy when you realise that mixing bleach with shampoo really IS cool.

Oh dear.

I prefer Pepsi over Coke. I grew up on it.
Once upon a time I actually posted here.

I haven't tried the other ones...but my personal opinion on Vault:  It's not that bad a drink at least according to taste, it's like a strong Mountain Dew-y kind of thing...it's hard to describe.  And caffeine doesn't do much to me really except go right through, which is quite annoying.  >.>  But I grew up with Mountain Dew.  Code Red is the best thing to happen to it...but my liking for the new flavors stops there.

My brother swears by Vault though.  He's got ADD, and the thing is, it's supposed to be an energy drink?  It has the opposite effect on him...calms him down.  He always must have his vault.   :rolleyes

As for the whole Pepsi Vs. Coke debate...I've said it before and I'll say it again, Dr. Pepper beats them all.   :3

I have to say that, when I went to the US recently, the coke immediately tasted like crap. I dunno what it is, the coke here tastes just fine, but US coke was aweful. the Pepsi in the US tasted alot better then the Pepsi here tho.

in the meantime, Im back on Coke.

I mentioned this in another thread.  Due to corn subsidies and import tariffs on sugar in the US, high fructose corn syrup is cheaper than real sugar, so they use that instead.  Yes, it makes it taste like crap.

By the way, for those who want to taste real Coke, wait until right around Passover (that's early spring, close to Easter).  Corn is not Kosher for Passover, so the bottling companies make special Kosher Coke with real sugar for Passover.  It usually comes with a yellow cap with the OU-P symbol (Kosher for Passover certified by the Orthodox Union) on it.



It's definitely better.  How much better?  A little, IMO.

Additionally, if you live in the South, it's likely possible to get Mexican Coca-Cola, which is made with sugar.

One day I wanna go around the world. Buy a Pepsi and a Coke from every country I go to. Then drink them all when I get home.

I would actually suggest trying that with Kitkat bars. Its the most popular candy bar on the planet because they actually have special bars for most major countries. I do not like the english one at all for some reason.

Just wondering.. Is this tread only for .....Soft Drinks ?
:mowwink

Anyone ever try Iron-bru ? Great soft drink.

I recommend Catapult Coffee, Dragon Roast. for people who don't feel like blinking much with an interesting yet gentle taste.

more caffeinated beverages should be named after siege equipment.
