Mmmmmmm PEPSI Throwback

[gritsar]

In the early 60s growing up in Miami, Florida a special treat was a piece of cane sugar to gnaw on. There was a sugar cane field right across the street from my house. It's still a common treat in the cuban community. I've only had two cavities in my life.
Yep, think I'll stick with something nature created over something created in a lab.

Impy, have hope my friend. The South will rise again and I'll see what I can do to get you invited to join. You have to promise to learn proper Southernese though.

Please think twice before "supplementing" with fluoride. Fluoride is linked to lowered IQ, cancer, and dental fluorosis (enamel defects), etc. It does not have to be swallowed, it is only useful for teeth as a topical application. It is also no longer considered safe for babies. Most of western Europe has done away with fluoridated water; fluoride in toothpaste is adequate.


Five studies from China show a lowering of IQ in children associated with fluoride exposure (Lin Fa-Fu 1991; Li 1995; Zhao 1996; Lu 2000; and Xiang 2003a, b).

Since 1950, it has been found that fluorides do little to prevent pit and fissure tooth decay, a fact that even the dental community has acknowledged (Seholle 1984; Gray 1987; PHS 1993; and Pinkham 1999). This is significant because pit and fissure tooth decay represents up to 85% of the tooth decay experienced by children today.

There have been numerous recent reports of dental crises in US cities (e.g. Boston, Cincinnati, New York City) which have been fluoridated for over 20 years. There appears to be a far greater (inverse) relationship between tooth decay and income level than with water fluoride levels.

Downunder if we're talking in general we call it Soft drink or Fizzy drink, but if we're being specific we just use the name on the bottle (not the brand) : pepsi, fanta, sprite, lemonade, pub squash, mountain dew, solo, creamy soda, LA ice, pasito...

To me:
Coke means coca cola and all its varieties: coke, coke zero, vannilla coke, diet coke, cherry coke, decaf coke...
Soda means Soda Water..
Cola is the cheap nobrand coke/pepsi knockoffs.

I clicked on all the arrows, but it never told what my score was.

Imp-broken game and lousy background music

Actually Reb, That was a nice song.
Had an Harmonica as a kid, just couldn't figure out how to string it.
