Would a normal person touch something so abominably fluorescent (it's Yellow Dye #5, after all) that also contains... wait for it... *brominated* vegetable oil???

It has more caffeine than any other soda (except possibly Jolt -- not sure -- but in any case Jolt is just a rip off of Mountain Dew anyway) and more than most teas.

However, a product which I'm not sure has been marketed nationwide called SuperJolt has more caffine than Jolt did to begin with.

I've tried Jolt and Dr. Pepper, but if I had to pick a cola I'd be tempted to choose the Italian one called Brio. What is Surge, another cola or something like MD perhaps?

As for Fresca... eh well... its flavour is completely utterly indescribable. What do you use it for, an appetite suppressant? :-)
