High Fructose Corn Syrup destroyed soda in the USA. Shits poison, legal poison. Plus it taste nasty.
I only buy the Pepsi with real sugar when I find it, usually in 12 pack cans.
When I was a *** I was influenced by the Pepsi Challenge and always wanted Pepsi. Pepsi at the time was also the official soda pop of the Los Angeles Dodgers who I was and still am a fan of. Probably sometime in my teen years is when I switched to Coca-Cola although I hated New **** whenever that crap came out.
I am one of the four people in the world that actually liked New **** but still old **** over Pepsi any day. The worst cola I ever had was combination of equal parts old ****, new ****, and Pepsi - something about that mixture destroys flavor.
