FANTA

I wonder if they make a diet pineapple FANTA.

I could really use a pineapple FANTA today. While grading final exams, I read where one of my students referred to a fossil as having a narrow cervix.

Second time in my career that has happened.

Geez.

Every fossil has a narrow cervix, unless it died while it was in active labor. Then the cervix would be dilated and the fossil would have a thinned and widened cervix.

I think the student was talking about the cervical vertebrae. ;)

Well, of course it was narrow. I've never met a male who had a widened cervix.

I don't have to worry about stains on the carpet. I might drink a soft dirt once a month. I don't drink Fanta.

Does soft dirt quench your thirst as well as hard dirt? Does it come in flavors? $:-\$

I wonder if FANTA now comes out in FANTA ZERO.
On another note, what's the deal with the soft drinks that now have 10 calorie versions? Dr. Pepper has like 120 calories in regular form, and Diet Dr. Pepper has 0 calories. WHY do they need a 10 calorie form?

Just stopped in here to become enlightened.

The 10 calorie math doesn't make sense to me.

#1. I love Diet Dr. Pepper just the way it is. Tastes just like regular Dr. Pepper.
#2. The new version is supposed to be more "manly". Who gives a flying fuck?

Maybe the "new" 10-calorie diet sodas are using something other than aspartame as the sweetening agent? If so, that a good thing. Aspartame is bad news IMHO. I avoid it like the plague (it gives me headaches). Of course, there are all sorts of concerns about the corn syrup that's used to sweeten regular sodas, too. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Dr Pepper 10 lists both high fructose corn syrup AND aspartame as ingredients.

I used to guzzle diet soft drinks. I used to have extreme issues with short term memory. When I stopped drinking diet drinks, most of my short term memory issues went away. Coincidence? I think not.

That's just wrong. It's the worst of both worlds!

Aspartame has been associated with short-term memory loss for at least 25 years. I'm not sure why it is still on the market.

I might have to switch back to unsweetened tea or water as my non-alcoholic beverages of choice after reading this. But I'll probably forget that by lunchtime, coming up in about 30 minutes

I stopped having panic/anxiety attacks when I gave up caffeine. To me caffeine is a MUCH bigger problem than aspartame ever could be.

How much caffeine were you ingesting? I try to limit my intake of caffeine to 2 cups of coffee per day. May need to drop back.

I have a pitcher of cucumber-lemon-ginger water in my fridge right now. Some people also add a bit of honey, but I didn't this time. It was my lunchtime beverage today. Yummy!

No more than two drinks (cups of coffee or cans of caffeine soda) a day. And I LOVE coffee.
I now keep it down to 3 or 4 drinks/week. When I first quit, I did it cold turkey, and saw immediate results.

FANTA

Which flavor FANTA do you prefer?
