Useless info about pop:

 

In the States, Mountain Dew has a ton of caffeine in it. In Canada, it has NO caffeine whatsoever... There's apparently some sort of regulation that stipulates that clear (or I guess "non-brown") soft drinks can't contain caffeine. (Or so I'm told.)

Please review my fanfic!

Useless and Indisputable Information: Irn Bru and Ribena are the best  :p

According to wikipedia, Irn-Bru is illegal in the US as a banned substance. :wub:

 

My mum used to give me flat Irn-Bru as medicine when I was sick.

Second; I might have just sneezed in my cocaine.

It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.

No :lol:"

 

[1]Best drink ever=Sprite and maybe 7up....

[2]Sprite just makes me thirstier (even more so than Pepsi, Fanta or the like). Don't know why.

 

[3]The best drink ever is Melon Soda, available from the best vending machines in Japan.

1. You don't drink caffeine yet, Baley? Boy are you gunna be trouble soon ... :)

2. It's probably the eighteen grams of sugar / carcinogenic-sugar-replacement that you drink with the can ...

3. I shall continue to regard all products derived from a Japanese vending machine with paranoid skepticism, based on my mercifully-little knowledge and exposure. I'll stick to San Pelegrino for effervescence and Coca Cola for energy fuel (supra-zero cold, in glass bottles, just as God intended).

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
