Looking at the actual info, it seems the owner herself is moving to Tennessee.

Coke is coming out with a subbrand using cane sugar apparently.

My GUESS is we see "blind tastings" and folks can't tell a difference in aggregate.

Can't blame her.

Coke is coming out with a subbrand using cane sugar apparently.

My GUESS is we see "blind tastings" and folks can't tell a difference in aggregate.

Mexican coke is made with cane sugar and is widely available here in Texico.  I've done a blind taste test and could tell the difference.  But if you look it up on youtube, there are people doing blind taste tests and lots of folks can't tell.

From a health perspective, I don't think it makes much difference.  If you're drinking a lot of cola, then it's really bad for you regardless of whether it's HFCS or cane sugar.

I think SOME could discern a difference, but if you test 100 people blind, I think in aggregate you'd end up near 50-50.

I used to do blind tasting of wines, all cabernet say, ranging from $5 to $50 a bottle.  My "panel" could not much rank them, they were different, but nobody got the order anywhere near correct, including me.  A couple ranked the $5 highest on their list, admittedly I got it on a whammo sale half price.

Is it okay to upload a wildlife photo on an aplotical thread? This was taken below the dam at Davenport, Iowa.
American White Pelican Splashdown by Mark Roeder, on Flickr

The white pelican appears on the Louisiana state flag.

The pelican on the flag is feeding its young, which is a lie, since every real pelican I've ever seen is like this one in the photo, just prancing and frolicking around and ignoring feeding its children, like the deadbeats they are.    

Which means Louisiana's flag perpetuates lies, just like their politicians, so.....neaux.....this photo is obviously highly politically charged and does not belong on the apolitical thread.
