Yum! That sounds great! You don't have to hide your DP habit from me. I love that stuff, but don't allow myself to have it much anymore.

I just heated up last nights spaghetti leftovers.

Too bad all you DP lovers don't live close to Dublin, Texas. (The original bottling plant). They use real pure cane sugar and have a limited selling area. It's like the whole nation use to be able to get but in the late 70's went to artificial sweeteners for national distribution.

That's exactly what I'm looking for! We have a few stores here that drive down to mexico to get cane sugar sodas, but Dr.P is almost never one of them. If they could find a way to go back to cane sugar & ditch the caramel coloring I'd be one happy, caffeinated, camper.

While I'd love to try Dr. Pepper with cane sugar, there is no artificial sweetener in my Dr. Pepper. High fructose corn syrup yes. If it were artificial I'd not be drinking it because the migraine it would cause me would have me in bed.

Sorry. My mind equates anything that's not cane sugar or honey as artificial. I know that's not exactly accurate, but I'm an old person & my mind is set in its ways I guess.

Anybody else craving soda now?

Yep, I have to go to San Saba, Texas to get it, I stock up on it when I go! They are starting to distribute it in cans (the cans have printed on them "Made with Cane Sugar) but it doesn't quite taste the same as in a bottle...plus, I don't think it's the same original formula, since they are bottling it from all their bottling plants.

I've got some NY Seltzer Vanilla Sodas here. They're pretty good. All cane sugar, no caffeine, no color, glass bottles....

I fed them to my MIL everyday last week, trying to get her off the cokes.

Me too! I can't deal with the high fructose corn syrup used in anything...that stuff is really bad for you!

As old as me?? Yeah HFCS is not the healthiest stuff but it is not an artificial sweetener.

I hate that stuff! I try to keep it out of my house. Its in everything now. I even saw it in hot dog buns. But with a little effort I can mostly keep from buying it.

I just turned 50. I need to start practicing my high kick.
