    As seen on the MSN article : Can a Cup a Day Keep Parkinson's Away? "There is some biological experimental evidence that caffeine does protect against [brain cell death]," says Alberto Ascherio, MD, lead author of the new report in the July issue of Annals of Neurology. I always figured drinking all that coffee to stay up an extra 5+ hours a night would help kill brain cells, but you learn something new everyday! So drink up! Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper never looked so good. They might not make you smarter, but you can at least get fatter and stay just as smart longer! :-D ---- Xian

            Um... there's caffeine in Mountain Dew ? Do people actually DRINK Dr. Pepper ? They tried to launch it here - it takes like marzipan. It was a colossal flop in Australia.

                Well, at least we agree on something. Vegemite tastes like Satan's toe jam. The sad thing is my wife has indoctrinated my children to like it. I can barely stand the smell when I make them breakfast, in the early days of our marriage I would go off if she left the lid off, I could smell it across the room. Apparently when they make beer, Vegemite is the sludge left over in the vats. It's the only food grosser than Peanut Butter ( as far as sandwich spreads go, there is heavy competition from a multitude of vegetables, I admit ).

                      I can't drink Pepsi Max because the caffeine gives me a headache ( Pepsi tastes like Coke that has passed through the digestive system of a cat, so that means I don't drink Pepsi at all ) and I LOVE Moutain Dew, which I percieve as 7 Up with Lime juice in it. I am *certain* it has no caffeine in it in Australia, although I will check now that you've said it does in the US.

                          Yes, they do have caffeine. Pepsi Max has a ton of it and tastes great, but gives me a headache, all diet drinks cause cancer and have a horrid aftertaste, Pepsi just plain blows and Coke is too sugary ( not something anyone who knows me would expect me to say, but it lines your mouth with sugar and leaves it feeling foul ). My favourite drink that is known internationally ( we have a company that makes my favourite drinks locally ) is Mountain Dew, and it's jolly hard to find it sometimes, but worth the effort ;0) Christian #include "std_disclaimer.h" The careful application of terror is also a form of communication.

                            Christian that's it, your Australian citizenship has been revoked, you have until the end of the week to leave the country (and yes I mean Tasmania too). He who does not like vegemite is un-Australian, uncouth and unwanted. Are you sure you are not a Septic in disguise. Vegemite started life from the left over solids from the beer at Carlton United Brewery (that means it must be good to start with, solid beer). I now like to think that quality beers such as Coopers, Cascade, Boags, James Squires are used as ingredients. Who is this American casting aspersions on Vegemite? This from the country that supplies aenemic milk and cheese and has the gaul to server a Bacon and Egg roll on a sweet bagel. No culture and no taste.

                              I drink at least 4 cans of Pepsi Max a day (and a bottle at night), I believe it is called Pepsi One in the US. I had to switch from Coke to diet drinks 18 months ago when diagnosed with diabetes, Pepsi Max was the only one without the metallic after taste. As for Coke now, I can't stand it as I taste caramel flavours in it. Is that close to what you taste Christian or has vegemite destroyed too many og my taste buds?

                                *grin* Well, I also hate beer, and football, and chips & gravy, and I'm not that keen on meat pies either. So I guess I'll be off then.

                                  Interestingly, I had a similar addiction to Coke many years ago ( I would wake up craving it ), which probably fuels my aversion to it now. Yes, I'd say the caramel is the aftertaste I find so distasteful. Plus I hate the ubiquitousness of Coke - you need to specifically tell people at places like McDonalds you don't want Coke, and some people use it as a generic term for soft drink. I'd suggest that Vegimite is, however, bound to numb your taste buds. ;0) Christian #include "std_disclaimer.h" The careful application of terror is also a form of communication.

                                    Ever tried Marmite??? It tastes much stronger than Vegemite, but I don't know if you can get it in Australia. As far as I know you can't get Vegemite in England for that matter..... I'll get a few jars, the next time I'm in England. Tastes yummy :-D maXallion

                                          Ever tried Marmite??? It tastes much stronger than Vegemite, but I don't know if you can get it in Australia. As far as I know you can't get Vegemite in England for that matter..... I'll get a few jars, the next time I'm in England. Tastes yummy :-D maXallion

                                          Marmite is too stringy and doesn't spread as well as vegemite. It's like an uncouth version of vegemite. No style or class. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)
