They make the original recipe Dr. Pepper with Imperial sugar (Also made in Texas, yeehaw!). While it's costly ($2/bottle) I still buy a 6 pack at our local Central Market a few times a year. There is NO taste comparison with the corn syryp crap that passes for DP these days. When I stopped trying to diet, not only did I begin to lose weight, I also regained my desire to finish my college degree, and am now in school to become a nutritional (food) anthropologist. Debunking Twiggy is now my life goal! And even Twiggy says these days she had/has an eating disorder to be so thin. My mother lived for 10 years with stomach cancer, and lived well w/o treatments, because she was 'obese'. The extra fat helped keep her alive and mostly well for years when she could no longer keep down food. And she was nearly 85 when she died. Hhhmmm, makes one think, no? BTW, love this site!

I happened to have an old empty Coke can from 'before'. I checked the ingredients -- "Water, sugar, (other stuff)". The ingredient list on the Classic Coke was "Water, sugar and/or high fructose corn syrup, (other stuff)". I don't care that their machines insisted it was "the same"; my taste buds could tell the difference. Now I drink Pepsi, which also has HFC.

I have a funny story involving soda, actually. Every Friday night, my friends and I take turns making dinner for one another and renting a movie for us all to watch. This past weekend we were on assignment from our history teacher to watch the presidential debate, so there was no movie. There was, however, delicious veggie lasanga--and full-sugar soda to wash it down. I suppose it's prudent to mention now that I almost never drink soda. It's not so much a deliberate choice as a result of it never being in the house (we Jeffreys are more water/iced tea people). So I drank it as if it were water--which is to say, I downed a good three cups of the stuff. Eehnyways, during dinner, one of my friends remarked that I was unusually hyper, but I thought nothing of it - just end-of-ridiculously-test-laden-week glee, right? Wrong. Right when we sat down to watch the debate, I crashed so badly that I literally dozed off right there on the couch. I woke up shortly after, but found that I simply couldn't keep my eyes open, no matter how hard I tried. It was annoying to not be able to stay awake and, you know, be a normal teenager and chill with my friends--and I missed out on the greater part of the debate, too! So, suffice to say, no more full-sugar soda for me, even with the most fattening, artery-clogging, WW-apostle-terrifying of meals. :D Wow, this is painful to read!
