Don't really drink soda.... weened myself off of that quite some time ago. I used it drink coke with my whiskey, but even find that too sweet of late.

I've got lots of friends and acquaintances that just abuse the hell out of it. I mean it's what they use to wake up and drink all day long.

I've always had the philosophy, moderation, moderation, moderation

That being said, I think Bloomberg has good meaning, but it's not wise, logical or value added.
At the same time, when people get to fat or sick because of their disregard for eating, drinking, smoking or whatever, do NOT count on anybody, especially the government to help your sorry self serving ass out.




Wasn't expecting that kind of rant, were ya.
I just had to let it out.

I'll say. Sounded like you had one too many Red Bulls. (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i266/Chiprocks1/Smilies/0%20All%20Smilies/HTL_biggrin.gif)

Pre Red Bull era when I was doing weekend and night college, some of my fellow classmates where taking these supplements. They weren't drugs, at least that's what they told me, but some kind of natural crap. They swore they worked. I passed and just tried to get sleep in where I could.

I slammed 2 Red Bulls back to back before heading back home from Vegas one time. I shaved off a couple of hours on the drive home. It worked better than I thought it would. Yikes.

You know what's funny?  It feels so strange to admit this at my age, but since I don't like soda or beer, I don't think I even know how to open one of those cans, I've never done it before.  Isn't that kind of weird?  It was so strange I actually turned my computer back on just so I could put that realization down.

Is there a new can that I don't know about?

No, i'm talking about the old cans that already existed forever, the ones you can get out of any vending machine anywhere in the world.  Never opened one.

I forgot we had this thread... It will be a good link to a store the wife and I visited yesterday. The area is The Central West End, home of Washington University students. We just walked around into store that interested us.

Walking into Rocket Fizz (http://www.rocketfizz.com/) was like a kid walking into Charlie's Chocolate Factory. A reasonably sized store that focus's on Soda and classic Candy.

I bought some Black Cow, a million different kinds of taffy and little plastic octopus arm. Don't ask. I'm going back.
