    Coke-and-dagger[^] My state in India (Kerala) has banned Coke and Pepsi - and a few other states have followed suite. This article is a good retort.

      Why did they? I like Coke! :-D Seriously, I think that's weird (I'm sure the article explains why, but I'm too lazy today to read it).

        I think banning was just too much. But then why should it(pepsi/coke) contain any pesticides/harmful stuff? I fear the day they will start testing everthing. Then I will loose all my peace. ;-) But then everybody has to die someday. ;-)

          Coke and Pepsi and their ilk should just be banned, period. Pesticides or no. All that stuff is just junk. So, good morning everyone! Flame away! :-D Marc

            but it tastes so good ;-) I wish they would ban it, as I have no self-discipline to stop buying it.

              Really? Yuck. We've been making sun tea a lot this summer, as we have the perfect area to put out a gallon glass jar filled with water with three or four tea bags, and let it brew in the sun for the day. Mango Ceylon is my favorite (and my cat's) and Karen and Ian like a variety of herbal teas, like Chamomile Peppermint and Blackberry. Marc

                Ban Coke and Pepsi? That's a pathetic idea! It doesn't go far enough. They ought to put more pesticides and heavy metals into it, put warnings on the labels, and then anyone who still drinks it will be so stupid they will deserve to die. Just like cigarettes! :-D

                Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me.

                  seriously, do you put it under the sun to make it warmer or does it taste different? which tea leaves do you use?
