Kathy, I'm sure you aren't too excited about the latest "Got beer?" ads that are being run by PETA. I haven't seen them, but I heard about them on the radio. (Personally, I may go out and buy an extra gallon of milk in protest )

That's old news. Those ads ran (and were ultimately pulled, due to protests from MADD and other similar groups) more than a year ago.

I heard about those ads on the news and it was a while ago but thats ok. You can still go buy an extra gallon of milk, as a matter of fact, go buy 2!

That's all-just wanted to say, I love Vanilla Coke. Thanks.

I'm glad we had this little talk.

A man stops a psychologist in the street: "Excuse me, can you tell me the way to the train station?"
"No, but I am glad we had this little talk."

Love that joke. Good show, blackhawk.

A guy comes into a doctor's office with a banana in one ear, a carrot in the other ear and an olive in one nostril. The doctor looks at him and says, "Oh! You're not eating right."

Highland, Where else would a scotsman settle?

Ha ha! Nice!

I grew up in an Irish Catholic area near the beach. Lots of German and Polish Catholics in Michigan City, too.

Hey! I am responsible for at least 5 Aussies being converted to the great "Vanilla Coke Way". I told a friend to try it, and he converted his friends in turn.....

Vanilla Coke is a great change of pace from plain colas - not near as good as the fountain vanilla Cokes from my youth (mostly, for me, from Kresges' and Woolworths' stores), but it's a decent imitation.

Thanks for your kind words about Vanilla Coke and your business.

While I'm not directly involved in that part of the Company, I work for a large beverage company with HQ in Atlanta.

I happen to like the diet Vanilla Coke myself.

(no animals are harmed in the beverage manufacturing process)

I tried vanila Coke once. I thought it tasted a bit like the cough medicine I had to take when I was a kid (in the 50s).

Another soda anecdote; when my wife's brother first came to the US from Italy he had his first taste of root beer. He took a mouthful and immediately spit it out saying that it tasted like "camphor". After 20+ years he has developed a tolerance for it.

At an archery shop I once saw a t-shirt that said, and I quote:

PETA
(People for the Eating of Tasty Animals)

I was seriously tempted to buy it, but didn't. I also saw a shirt on one of my Jr. High students the other day that should be very thought provoking for vegatarians: "How many vegetables had to die for your stupid salad?"

I just have to reply here..First off I hate Vanilla Coke, give me a diet MT. Dew any day..And second just because we are vegans doesnt mean we all are PETA fans..I have been a vegan for a few years give or take a few chicken sandwiches..I do it for health reasons and maybe for some enviromental reasons...We are all not antihuman animal nuts..Of course I dont believe anyone should mistreat or abuse animals either.Anyway all Peta people might be vegans but not all vegans are Peta people..

I think Vanilla Coke is actually Cream Soda in disguise... who do they think they're fooling anyhoo?

C4,

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I happen to be a confirmed carnivore, but I respect people who are vegans or vegetarians for principled reasons.

I saw an article the other day (at least I think it was recent, with my record it could have been from a year ago

) that talked about health risks for babies of nursing mothers who are vegans. Here is the first paragraph and a link:

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The breast-fed infants of two mothers who did not eat any animal products, including milk and eggs, developed brain abnormalities as a result of a vitamin-B12 deficiency, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (news - web sites) (CDC) reported Thursday.

What (s)he said. No offence intended, and I hope none taken. I hope we all know, whatever jokes we might make to the contrary, that not all hunters are cruel, bloodthirsty rednecks; not all vegetarians/vegans are animal rights activists.
It is true, however, that all whistle players are a little, well, odd.
