    I wonder what they could possibly object to about this?

    few years ago they had 4 or 5 of those high caff drinks on the market, I used to drink one called JOLT is was a pretty good cola, but you sure had to be used to drinking a lot of caffine or it was a doozie.

    Caffine drinks are very bad for you, Coca Cola is one of the worst ever.

    I heard caffeine's not the main health risk, because if you squeeze hard enough you can get around 8 spoons of sugar out of a single can of soft drink.

    I used to drink Coke, Jolt and Pepsi, never was to gone for coke after back in the early 80s when they changed formulas, But only drank it for what ya got from it, not for the flavor, just like most booze, for the effect not the flavor..
    Hell I ain't had a soda for years now, might have a cup of pepsi next time I am in town, they have a pepsi drink machine at KFC, I don't think I would like it here when it comes out of an open bottle from a stand that has been open for days and is as flat as sugar water and then is served in a baggie, got to have the FIZZZZZZZZZZZZ..

    I tried Coke once, but the bubbles kept getting up my nose.
