1. Well...

Yes, you'll have to overlook the ghastly misspelling at the opening.

[In_The_Wind]

2. But, But, But ...

I have been missing lime in my Pepsi for 3 weeks. [img][/img]

6. Switch to this.

It's better.




I didn't know Pepsi even made a version with lime. The only way I can stomach Pepsi is to add some citrus to it.

7. The sweetener in Coke gives me a headache.

I've tried it several times. [img][/img]

11. They both contain the same sweetener.

Both use aspartame. Diet Pepsi also has a secondary sweeter.

14. That explains my headaches. I was drinking Pepsi One.

Pepsi One is the only diet drink I have found not to have aspartame (or phenylalanine) in them. Instead it is sweetened with Splenda.

I tried Pepsi with lime and forgot about my problems with aspartame.


Back to the store for Pepsi One & fresh limes.

Thank you!

18. Pepsi One has Splenda? Have to give it a try.

I don't trust any artificial sweetener, truth be told, but I have to have a little variety now and again, and I get headaches from too much aspartame too. I'm not really a Pepsi fan, more of a Diet Dr. Pepper girl, but if I can find something not so creepy in formula I might give it a go.

Mostly I hang with my tea, mate, water and sparkling water from my Soda Stream with lime or lemon.

*sigh* Life was so simple when I was simple.

19. Aging has so many interesting challenges to overcome.

Like needing sunglasses due to an increase in sensitive to bright sunlight.

[nolabear]

26. Or for me eyes getting sensitive to contacts.

I have increasing trouble finding glasses that let me really see clearly(and I expect I have chronic computer eye strain) and I love my contacts, but dammit I'm getting dry eyes and can't wear them all the time any more.

Nope, it ain't for sissies, it ain't.

[HappyMe]

3. Because you are the only

person that wants it?

[In_The_Wind]

4. I couldn't have consumed ALL the bottles of Diet Pepsi with Lime.

Not all by myself. Do I have to drive to New Jersey to get a fix?

[HappyMe]

5. Maybe it doesn't sell.

So nobody stocks it.

[In_The_Wind]

8. The stores still have shelf tags.

Maybe I should call Pepsi.
See if they have an answer before I buy limes to cut for regular Diet Pepsi.

Should I try that?

[HappyMe]

9. Just buy regular diet Pepsi

and some limes.

[In_The_Wind]

10. Sounds like the easiest answer.

The price of limes was way up last time I looked. But ... I'm worth the extra pennies.

[Quantess]

12. What about Coke Zero?

Isn't it exactly the same as diet Pepsi?

[In_The_Wind]

15. I've got to change to Pepsi One.

[olddots]

13. maybe Kraft has bought out all soda companies .

that's their plan and we must stop them.

[In_The_Wind]

16. Where do I sign the petition?

I started my day doing that on DU today.

[olddots]

17. big products just seem to go away and you can't get answers for months.

I used to drink Shwepp's Ginger beer for years , it was as good as the super over priced kinds then one day ZERRO ,NADA NOTHING

So I ask the merchandise manager and says he'll find out .he said he couldn't get an answer from central which could get to the main buyers for the huge grocery chain. A few months later the Shwepp's brand came back but no more Ginger beer . Its a mystery how they let one product die and keep others that sell worse .

Now we are having a hard time finding Vernor's Diet Ginger Ale ( which tastes like trumpet spit valve oil but Lisa loves it )

maybe Vernor's has been bought out by Kraft which is owned by SECTOR SEVEN GALACTIC FOOD CO .

SCI FI = life in 2013

20. Sorry, I-T-W; had to go with "too much time on her hands."

[In_The_Wind]

21. Mustn't touch

22. Ouch!

Oh, sweetie...

[In_The_Wind]

23. It jumped from one ankle to the other while I was sleeping.

I haven't had a problem like this since '85.

We all picked up Poison Ivy/Sumac/Oak or a combination transplanting over the weekend.

[hrmjustin]

24. It is a conspiracy!

[In_The_Wind]

25. It must be! Just when I thought my life was going smoothly ... this inconvenience popped up.

I need something COLD to drink this summer.
It needs to be in my car at all times ... cause a day might be 500 miles long.
Homemade tea can spoil. Juice is out of the question. I hate water unless it is fruit or citrus infused.
Oh. This is going to be sooo much fun.

[BlueJazz]

27. ...to get to the other side.

[In_The_Wind]

28. Replacing all of the old stock with the new blend.

I thought it was only a label change.
But the ingredients are being changed to stabilize Pepsi for the summer months.
