[quote name='The Crotch']Don't drink the stuff myself, so... how many bottles of Canadian coke for your PS3 there, Myke?[/QUOTE]
Three bottles. And my own Tim Horton's Franchise. You have enough to give 'em away, right?
And perhaps a crash course in the metric system and French.
And an autographed copy of "Strange Brew."
Y'know, I hate to do this, but I have to credit Rachel Ray for bringing Mexican Coke to my attention. She was really the first person to hammer home how fantastic it is (and why). Now, it doesn't make up for being a whore who will advertise any product you have, no matter how bad it is ("I'm Rachel Ray, and when I'm in a hurry, I eat flapjacks - on a STICK!"). Or that she brought the phrase "EEE-VEE-OH-OH" to the American lexicon. But, you know, she gets some credit.
Corn subsidies are interesting, and probably should go the hell away. Produce prices are much higher on average (as someone who buys a good bit of fresh and frozen produce each week, I've
in' noticed). Gas costs going up is one thing, but the subsidies, and the promise of the E-85 future, led to corn being produced in numbers to the detriment of other veggies. Fewer veggies of other types means, as you know, more 'spensive veggies of other types. $1 bags of frozen veggies (16-24oz, usually) are now $1.38-$1.66. Meanwhile, $1 microwave pizzas are still $1.
EDIT: I've heard that a study suggests that your body can treat diet soda like a regular soda if it's accustomed to processing the latter. It treats the diet as a working placebo, then. But I dunno. It seems plausible, but it also seems impossible (can't cheat caloric content and the actual makeup of foods, y'know?). Either way, I work out enough, so while I don't watch what I consume, I do. If that makes sense.
