Mountain Dew's got nothing on Ski. Here's a review. Best soda ever made. I don't know what I'll do if I ever move out of Southern Illinois, because I can only find it in about a 50 mile radius of my house.

Celsius (warning, PR link) is the same idea, is already on the market and has a cola flavor. I've yet to locate some, but I do get tired of berry-flavored drinks. No idea how good Celsius is or Enviga will be, but that's what taste tests are for.

If Bawls is "pure sugar", then what is Coke? Pure HFCS I guess?

Partly, I just want to see the Pop VS. Soda VS. Soft Drink etc. fight, but also I wanted to chime in that there's already a soda that uses green tea: Cricket Cola. They, apparently, are hiding on the intarweb and don't believe in having a company web page, so I turn you here.

Sadly, Pepsi Kona never made it in the marketplace.

i don't remember if i saw it or not back then, but according to this link, there seems to have been a Diet Pepsi Kona (look at the picture shown).

In 1996, I was in Philadephia for the summer, and it was a test city for Pepsi's own Coffee Cola: Pepsi Kona. It was actually quite good, and my friends and I liked it. It must not have tested well enough, cuz it never was fully developed. After the Crystal Pepsi fiasco a few years earlier, Pepsi decided not to market new products countrywide, and always start with a few test cities. Hopefully, this coke one will taste as decent as the Pepsi one.

"The liquid part of the beverage has a barely acceptable berry-like flavor. The addition of the balls, however, make this a completely unpalatable beverage... It tastes like water that came out of a vase used for flowers....the balls make it even worse."... This beverage makes us sick... Stay away from this beverage... We suggest straining out the balls if you are daring enough to try this beverage..."

Was it Orbitz?? http://www.bevnet.com/reviews/orbitz/

Check out the review all the goodness of Rockstar without the sugar and WITHOUT NUTRASWEET! I usually get a headache and an aftertaste after I consume a lot of Nutrasweet but Diet Rockstar leaves me just fine.

180- comes from Anheuser Busch, but DANG! talk about a powerful zzap! For me, it's got a better lift than Red Bull or Lipovitan D , lasts longer, and gives me more stamina than any. Whoop Ass comes in a close second. Nothing works better for taming that multi-acre yard in the country! :D

So when does the female body suit version come out?

Pris is wondering when she will be able to open a can of Whoop Ass on those rogues...

Nope, it's real. Read this to see about what effects of having too much of it can do, then read here for a typical ingredients list of soda pop. Make your own decision.

Well, I don't know about you, but Red Bull seems to have a good deal of caffeine to me (otherwise I doubt it would work so well). I do, however, concur it doesn't go well with vodka. It's probably better than No-Doz and vodka, which I've seen someone do.

The pieces are currently made in Scotland ! Yes, amazingly other things do come out of Scotland other than single malt !

Hey, don't forget about IRN-BRU!

The toys are neat, but I fear for anything that doesn't have pointy bits that look like guns. What good is making a model star ship if I can't arm it to the teeth? Mass destruction, that's what sells toys.

The minimalist approach is also really nifty in a geek sort of way, but is it going to be a marketing hit? Even Lego seems to have lost the "generic block" approach and has gone over to making very specific pieces. Presumably this is because they can sell 10 times the number of "Bionicle" kits if you need the unique parts to make each model.

When is Atollo going to be available in my kids' Happy Meals? :-)

Made in germany.
