Yeah, that stuff is just... yuck! I stay away from a lot of those drinks. I mostly drink just water and tea. Not a coffee guy at all. And my vice? Either a Bang or G-Fuel enery drink. But only 1 day and I put it in a tumbler with ice to keep it cold and nurse it for most of the day. I usually polish it off by 2pm. I have been known to cheat though on some of the colder days, and have some hot cocoa.

But corn syrup? Yuck. It's in so much stuff now. :(

I tend to prefer Pepsi over Coca-cola. I haven't tried those flavors specifically, but generally I like cherry and vanilla flavored colas.

They are not my preferred flavours, but Vanilla and Cherry Coke are fine. The Pepsi Max ones are extreme, artificial and too strong.

I think the real sugar colas taste pretty good. Dr. Pepper had one for a brief time (when all the soda makers started to make their "throwback" versions years ago). I thought Dr. Pepper's was pretty good too, but I don't think they're making a real sugar version anymore.

I think theirs was Dr. Pepper "Heritage"?

I remember Crystal Pepsi. I thought it wasn't bad.
They brought Crystal Pepsi back several years ago for a few months or so. I bought some at the time, and it actually seemed better than I remember.

I remember liking it as a kid, they brought it back here in Ontario this past summer and I still have a few bottles in my fridge:

I remember that summer back in 1992 or 93 when I was visiting my grandparents my grandpa would buy me a crystal pepsi & a mars bar.

I find this crystal pepsi too sweet now, I can't imagine eating a mars bar at the same time.

I bet most are old enough but I don't think it was released everywhere. Since MN is Pepsi's Capital we did have it. It was ok. Neat idea till they found it the stuff used to remove all coloring was really bad for you. Then it went away.

Really? They brought Crystal Pepsi back just a few years ago, for a limited time.

I stopped drinking soda more than 10 years ago. Don't have a taste for
it anymore. I also drink mostly water, I do however drink coffee and occasionally tea. Not much for hot cocoa either.

I do find the carbonated flavored waters like 'Bubbly' or other similar
ones OK on a limited basis. I live where I have a ground well for water
and the water is very mineralized. So I purchased a water cooler and get
3 or 4 bottles of water delivered a month. I mostly drink chilled water.

I find the G-Fuel and Monster type drinks to be pretty similar to soda.

Unless they are doing it a different way, then it was really bad for you. It was on the news, I remember my parents talking about it at the time. We even had some left and they threw it out. I was younger so at the time I remember thinking what a waste of delicious sugar!!

I don't remember exactly what it was reported as, just the situations.

If you don't want to/can't cut a hole and have a spare hole in your
sink, you can use that, too.

I went 1 year before the carbon filter flagged that it was time to be
replaced, and it was $39. The RO filter is still going, and it'll be $89
to replace. It's going to end up being a lot cheaper than filtered
pitchers or having water delivered, and it's a lot more convenient. When
I redid my kitchen, I ran a line from it to my refrigerator, and have
filtered water and ice.

Hi there Poindexter, I learned something new thanks to you. Really I had
heard about RO systems, but thought they were for medical use like at a dialysis center.

But looking up Waterdrop systems was pretty interesting! Thanks for the
tip. This might be a good alternative, but it's a pretty expensive
outlay to start with. In the end though, would most likely be a better proposision.

Sounds like you have a handle on the situation!

I like Cocoa, and have that more in the winter. Cut I think I go a little overboard, I add creamer to get it really rich and then whipped cream on top. I keep that to like once or twice a month. Any more I know I would be in trouble.

Yea, I got in the habit of it from work just because I was always ready to crash by lunch. So I would have one. It just got to be a bad habit I do now still, even though I left that job. I really should just knock it out all together.

I have not seen any in a long while, and maybe because I don't look for it,
but it seems like at some point during the 1980's/90's they had "diet"
syrup that had some artificial sweetener in it. It was nasty.

Definitely expensive at the get-go, but you'll save money not switching
filter elements as often, if you live in a hard water area like I do. I
would have gone through 3-4 ZeroWater filters in the time I went through
one with my new system.

If I'm not mistaken, they have an even smaller/cheaper model than mine,
and one that sits on top of the counter.

I had a friend whom I asked if she wanted me to bring anything back from the US, to Germany.

The only thing she requested was pancake syrup. Extra sweet, or sweet in a different way, I guess.

I found it slightly horrifying, but the US is mostly known for heavily-processed foods, and I dutifully packed Mrs. Butterworth into my suitcase.

And, for the record, it _is_ hard to find pancake syrup here, but maple syrup (Ahornsirip) is easy to find, so long as you're happy with Canadian maple syrup.

Though the grading systems seem all over the place. Like maple syrup grading in general, I suppose, but that's a different discussion.

I don't think there really is, but different trees, different place, there's probably some hint of place to it.

The only big difference, in my book, is wanting maple syrup from a particular area because you have some sort of connection to that area (or dislike Canada or something).

Now, the _darkness_ of syrups makes a much larger difference in flavor, but that's more a factor of when in the season a syrup gets harvested.

I am guessing the difference is that the "pancake" syrup is processed and sweetened, where the ahornsirip maybe is not.

surprised it was good.

I am guessing the difference is that the "pancake" syrup is processed and sweetened, where the ahornsirip maybe is not.

When I said it, I was thinking about it more in the, "Made in Germany" sense.

E.g., if you buy a t-shirt, it probably doesn't matter which country it came from, beyond whether or not they're likely to have used a quality manufacturing process and/or good cotton.

But maple syrup is made by boiling down sap from maple trees, in the early spring when it's above freezing during the day and below freezing during the night. You'll get a similar product north or south of the Canadian border.

What's probably more important is how late in the season people make the maple syrup -- the later in the season it is, the darker the syrup tends to be, and the more intense the flavor is.

And that darkness is put on a scale, with the scale changing depending on country, and, going back a few years, changing _within_ a country, because of things like how people thought that grade A is better than grade B, when "grade B" just meant, "this is darker, and has more maple flavor". So now, in some places, it's, e.g., "grade A dark amber".

Pancake syrup, on the other hand, is something that's a recipe, chosen by manufacturers

(And "Ahornsirup" is just the direct translation of "maple syrup".)

I used to grow & make cane syrup. Its 100% sugarcane with nothing added. Has a unique flavor to it. Most of the pancake syrups down here in my area are from sugarcane with a bit of corn syrup mixed in to sooth the flavor.

One thing I learned making syrup everyone has their own preferences. A lot of folks love 100% cane syrup but I'm more of a Mrs. Butterworth fan. Never could get a taste for Maple Syrup either. :)
