New Drink - Pepsi Raw

Well, looks like their trends forecasters see the 'raw movement' as something that can really take off...

Even though this drink isn't 'raw,' this is great advertising for us and also a more natural living...Let's hope this sparks off a kind of health war between cokacola.

I would like to see a legal definition established for raw food in advertising and sales.

For a really raw drink with a cola taste, try soaking black mission figs overnight with just enough water to cover them. The soak water (which should be VERY sweet the next day) tastes cola-ish to me.

I always wanted to make the original Dr Pepper and Pepsi drink which were health tonics...

Following on omega's idea, I wonder how it would taste to add that black mission fig soak water to some naturally fizzy mineral water...might taste even more like a soda!

Mmm.. I doubt that anyone who would consider drinking a drink made primarily of sugar and carbonated water, are going to care much about the slightlier healthier aspects of the ingredients over the normal ones.

As for EzR's comment, I don't think you need a standard for raw personally, because those that are into it are the kind of people who investigate what they eat.

i'll just use that with other paint in order to dilute some of the strength of the other colors

the carmel coloring could do the trick
nice tint/stain on canvas

carmel caramel carmel caramel carmel caramel
i like the carmel spelling better even if its pronounced cara mel

The "secret" ingredients in cola drinks are essential oils.

You can make your own with sparkling water, sweetener, cassia, coriander, orange, lime, lemon, and nutmeg essential oils and gum arabic.

A full recipe is here, you can make a few liters at a time.
