I don’t drink much soda, to tell the truth. I won’t eat or drink anything that contains trans fats and/or artificial sweeteners. I’ve been this way for about ten years now, and that’s just the way it is. It’s not that I don’t like soda – I just don’t like all of the junk that they are loaded with. When I heard that Pepsi was coming out with a new product called Pepsi Natural… made with natural REAL sugar! I had to try it.

chrispirillo: I haven't eaten Skittles for 10 years because they contain partially hydrogenated oil. Bad, bad stuff – transfats are evil.

chrisutley: Transfats in Skittles? I would have never guessed that. I'd figured sugar, sugar, and more sugar – but ZERO fat of any kind.
