Don't forget the Tamales and Taco's, preferably sold out of the back of a beat up van.
Gotta bump this up, because I picked up a case of Pepsi Throwback at Target the other day for under $4!!!! Pure sugary soda bliss. For some reason, regular soda with the fructose stuff (especially Mountain Dew) gives me a sour stomach, but this stuff with the sugar in it does no such thing. AWESOME!!!!
I disagree. Mt. Dew may be caffinated antifreeze, but i'm quite sure it is partially responsible for me graduating from college. It helped me stay awake through classes when i was practically brain dead from lack of sleep. Sure, the lack of sleep was also partially caused by the Mt. Dew, but that's not the point.
Mt. Dew is probably what caused me NOT to have a girlfriend in high school. It kept me awake so I could nerd out more.
I gave up soda for lent and dropped 10 pounds. The HFCS stuff is just terrible to your body. Doesn't metabolize properly. We're not meant to eat lab foods.

I just tried Mexicoke this week. Apparently it's readily available in Beloit WI where I was on vacation. So delicious.

My god, what in the world made you vacation in Beloit? That's the type of place most sane people run from.
Walmart and Meijer Thrifty Acres sell Mexican Coke for 1 american dollar per 10 oz bottle in Flint MI

Someone rang? I am the guy who has two kids that don't do corn. It took a while to get used to...and it also makes you REALLY wonder about what the heck is actually in all this "food" that is for sale at the store.
A good documentary is "King Corn." There is no spin in this movie...it's a good watch.

Allergic to corn. With fructos corn syrup, and corn derivities in many, many types of foods, shopping for your guys must be a bit of a chore to make sure they don't ingest any corn. Peanuts is bad as it is, but with corn... Corn-fed beef a problem? Chicken, too? Lots of veggies for your guys?
Right now I have the options of Throwback, Mex. Coke, and "Anniversary" Dr. P.
TB- strangly addicting
MC- $1.50/10oz bottle, no thanks
ADP- Very nice, I might stock pile it.

I have a friend who went to Beloit College and is now an admissions counselor there. Went to visit for a few days.
It's quiet there, to be sure, but I like quiet. We went to Chicago, drove some cheap go karts, played some cards, and watched an entire season of Top Gear. My kind of vacation. Stuff is cheap. I also liked the weekly farmer's market that took place right outside his apartment.
Not sure I'd want to live there, but it was a nice break from reality.
Oh, on the topic of sugary sodas, I think my Forza nerdiness speaks for myself:
ReverendDexter wrote:mad_machine wrote: HFCS must die....HFCS in and of itself isn't that horrible. It's the fact that in the U.S. we have corn in EVERYTHING, so anyplace you can eliminate corn consumption is a good thing (TM Martha Stewart). Excess consumption of a single thing can lead to the development of an allergy, and I don't even want to think about how difficult life would be trying to shop for someone allergic to corn. The Throwback MD and Pepsi is definitely tastier than it's corn-syrup'd cousins, though I actually prefer HFCS Coke to the Mexican Coke with real sugar.
As a kid I was allergic to corn. It sucked I can tell ya. One of the best things about puberty for me was that I grew out of all my allergies. What you need to try is the Canadian Coke. Still has real sugar but sam pH as US Coke. Mexican Coke is more acidic.
