It's true..in health food stores, for extreme vegans, you can find "non bone char sugar"
It's called "sugar in the raw."
I'm talking specifically about white sugar which has been refined using another method other than bone char carbon filtration...a different thing entirely than "Sugar in the raw"

Diet Dr Pepper has no sugar or corn syrup.

Cheerwine is the bestest. Back when I had a high motabolism, I used to
pour it over Bryers mint-chocolate-chip icecream. Food Lion has skipped
the "pouring" step by coming out with a Cheerwine icecream.

When I went to Philmont Scout camp in New Mexico with a group of North
Carolinians, one scout was dismayed that the Dairy Queen in NM did not
have Cheerwine icecream floats. In our naivete, we hadn't realized it was
a Carolinas-only product.

In summary, Cheerwine + Icecream = Crazy delicious!

Uh, Aspartame. Most diet sodas have either Aspartame (Nutrasweet)
or Sucralose (Splenda) as "artificial" sweeteners.

The Cheerwine packaging - has there been litigation by Coke? Looks like there's some passing-off there.....

Coca-Cola does it too: Sprite copied the color-scheme of 7up and Mr. Pibb is a knockoff of Dr. Pepper.
