Have you seen this new interest in carbonated beverages with vitamins and minerals added, especially recently to Coke and Pepsi?
Last night we picked up a Pepsi Max, which for an 8 oz plastic bottle was rather expensive at $1.99. I am NOT a Pepsi fan so I didn't like it much, but it was intriguing, not the taste but the advertisements and push to enjoy your beverage and get some sort of health benefit too.
This idea is not old, but very peculiar. I guess as they say, folks want the best of both worlds.
I prefer good food that has taste as its centerpiece, and that can come from a fresh peach to a big carrot, to a beef filet to a slice of buttermilk pie. Mmmmm!

I did some more digging on this subject, and as it turns out Pepsi Max is made with Ginseng and added Caffeine. Blah!
Also the Diet Coke Plus, introduced in select markets in the US in April 2007, has added magnesium, zinc, B6, B12 and niacin or in other words Epsom Salt! So, if you bought this you are drinking the liquid with which you soak your foot after you have an in-grown toenail removed. Blah!
