Pulp Fiction is almost 20.

My genius neighbors keep breaking the washing machines in the laundry room. Going to be a fun couple of hours at the laundry mat tomorrow.

Way too many people making money from corn in this country to allow that. But apparently Pepsi Throwback contains real sugar (in cans).

There's no difference between corn sugar and sugar sugar

They're both equally bad for you

But isn't sugar sugar tastier and takes a lot less overall resources to make?

I can't taste the difference between Pepsi Throwback, or whatever the Mt. Dew version is called, and regular. Dunno about the resources.

i can tell the difference. i've drank way too much of both in my life, though.

pepsi throwback is in the my top 5. i buy mexican coke from the store up the street. yay for mexicans running stores in reading.

dr pepper 10 is maybe the best 'diet' i've ever had, though.

My New Year's resolution was to give up all soda, which I've been successful at so far. But I agree about Diet Dr. Pepper. Coke Zero and Pepsi Max are good too, much better than the standard "Diet" versions of them.

I don't know about resources but corn sugar /HFCS is cheaper to manufacture I believe

I'm sure that's at least somewhat an artiicial product of corn subsidies though

Beer.

HFCS causes more weight gain than sugar and potentially acts as a appetite suppressor as well.

US refined sugar costs about $0.25 cents more per pound than the world price because of tariffs and import quotas

Sugar Tariffs Cost Americans $3.86 Billion in 2011

This whole convo is PTK bait. Of course, it was started by Woody, the PTK master baiter.

syrup doesnt make you feel full like sugar does. plus sugar tastes better. neither are healthy for you, really

Just hit my head on the freezer door standing up after reaching down to the bottom shelf for seltzer

Don't think I've ever done that

Corn sugar (that homebrewers sometimes use) is different from HFCS.

Yeah, to JH.
