Wow! When I went to bed, MentalGuy hadn’t yet put up the post that started the onslaught. Then MentalGuy is claimed cop. Then Pleo was actually scum! I should start staying up all night before the final vote.

So. Fluff. I would like to posit that the title for the Forbidden Thread for this game is one of the best I’ve ever seen.

I wish they made a coke throwback. The Pepsi throwback is delicious, but I miss the coke “bite.” Is sugar really that much more expensive?

Dr Pepper throwback would be amazing, too.

However, I prefer Mountain Dew without the cane sugar.

Surely you are aware of [Mexican[url=http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/11/magazine/11fob-consumed-t.html]Coke](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Coke)?

You can get cane sugar Coke in Michigan at Meijer, but it really expensive per bottle.

The sugar Dr Pepper is called Heritage Dr Pepper. Go forth and seek!

If you want the pure stuff, though, you want to order Dublin Dr Pepper, which is pre cane sugar, rather than the beet sugar that I’m pretty sure goes into Heritage/Throwback.

Here in Sacramento, you can get “Mexican Coke” in pretty much any supermarket. Even Target carries it.
