- i'm usually not a pop drinker (it's pop! ;) but it sounded good. still sounds good. darnit. -- nm - kare Sep 3, 13:12 1
  - No, soda! Yeah every once in a while is OK -- nm - amoxy Sep 3, 13:13

- nah, don't want the artificial sweeteners. woe is me. - kare Sep 3, 13:09 3
  - It's only slightly more artificial than HFCS :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 13:13

    - Sunshine? -- nm - Spawn Sep 3, 13:14
- I was just wondering why I see Diet 7Up regularly, but never "Diet Sprite." Is there such a thing any more? -- nm - con_carne Sep 3, 13:08 1
  - Apparently called "Diet Sprite ZERO" now, but yeah, still around. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 3, 13:09
Just switch to diet! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 3, 13:06
whata dork, pop is the main culprit/the poster face on the war against hfcs, its hard to any w/o -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 3, 13:03 8
- what annoys me is how much is in pasta sauce and almost all store foods -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 3, 13:04 7
  - Sugar is used in tomato sauce recipes to counter the acidity of the tomatoes. Relax, it's not like they're trying to poison you. -- nm - con_carne Sep 3, 13:17 4
    - Meant this as a reply to kare, but I guess it works here, too -- nm - con_carne Sep 3, 13:19 2
      - oh good, you told *me* to relax. thanks! i'm trying to avoid HFCS. sugar is a little less evil. - kare Sep 3, 13:22 1
        
        Fine, I take it back. Go crazy about whatever you want. -- nm - con_carne Sep 3, 13:24
    - i think it's HFCS that's the problem for them, not sugar. -- nm - Andie Sep 3, 13:19
  - yup. hfcs and sugar are hidden in everything. it's a damn conspiracy! -- nm - kare Sep 3, 13:15
  - for 'ready made pasta sauce', i now just use a can of crushed tomatoes and my own seasonings/herbs. -- nm - Andie Sep 3, 13:13
Are you trying to give that up or something? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 3, 12:58 2
- yes. i always look at ingredient labels and make sure it's not in there. except after i've drank 1/2 a sprite, of course. -- nm - kare Sep 3, 13:10 1
  - At this point, I expect any soda to have it - unless it explicitly says it doesn't. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 3, 13:11
Dork you are not. You run an awesome blog. Pepsi has a sugar version out right now but it's limited. -- nm - lileve Sep 3, 12:58 2
- :) -- nm - kare Sep 3, 13:15
- Yea if you can still find them! I managed to snag a case of the Pepsi with sugar goodness last week. -- nm - Jovian Sep 3, 13:10
