Or kiwi or something.
does anybody know how they get that one calorie into pepsi one? it has been bothering me all day and i really need to know. wikipedia basicaly told me to fck off cuz they had none of teh info
By allowing only a fraction of a gram of carbohydrates into the recipe.
that was fast.
thats what i thought but that would take alot of math to go from 150 to one, keeping the same general taste, and not screwing anything else up. it seems like too much just for a marketing ploy
The calories came from all the carbs. Substitute the carbs with fake sugars and the calories are gone. At least I'm pretty sure that's how they do it.
but how do they get that one calorie back in?
They just leave a minute amount of carbohydrates left in. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats all have calories. About 1/4th of a gram of a carbohydrate equals 1 calorie. They keep that one calorie (1/4th gram of carbohydrates) in the recipe just as a marketing scheme and gimmick, but they could easily make it 0 like other diet sodas.
which is funny since they already have diet pepsi.
lol i know i askd the question but im really confused, if Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats all have calories then how can they have the same taste but still olny have one calorie
why is this an important question
because i wont be able to sleep if i dont know the awncer
wow. that's probably the biggest bastardization of the word "answer" I've ever seen.
muffla, you should probably learn better English before delving into the world of liquid carbohydrates.
dont not to woriez i know the betterst in teh amarakinz languge
But really Its like a nagging in my brain, i need to know the secret of the pepsi one
They have the same taste because they're substituted for the most part with artificial sweetener. Usually it's not going to taste exactly the same, but depending on the substitution it may taste very similar or completely different.
Have you tried to look up the answer at a more accredited site?
Instead of sugar they have cancer-causing sweeteners instead. Drink the real stuff, it's a lot healthier.
Soda is bad for you in any form. :(
But if you're going to drink it, drink the real stuff.
Everything is bad for you. Live in a city? The air is bad for you. Eat pretty much any food you didnt grow yourself? bad for you. Eat something you DID grow yourself? still bad for you unless you live way out int he country with ground never touched by human hands. etc.
The OH NOES mentality most people have is retarded.
I know. If you're going to live in a city, make sure you live next to a waste disposal area so you can breathe the real stuff. That's all I'm saying. :(
there was a yahoo news report that said that if you drink even just one diet cola a day you're likelyhood of getting cancer goes up 44% :)
I agree with Fate. Soda's not the best drink, but it's more enjoyable without artificial sweetener.
Actually, rats aren't the only ones that get cancer. Aspertaine is actually quite dangerous, and is responsible for giving many diet coke drinkers cancer. Hence, one of the reasons why they switched to Splenda. Splenda is still not good for you though.
Sucralose is a chemical so it has toxic properties. You'd have to take a large dose for a long period of time for it to have a serious effect, though.
Hmm, makes sense. I always perferred juices [which also can be bad] and 7Up/Sprite/Sierra Mist anyways. By the way, I never see 7Up on the market anymore.
7up is delicious. Mountain Dew just flat out sucks and will basically dissolve your teeth.
I try to avoid all diet drinks though.
Simply cutting calories isn't a good way to take a positive step into your long-term future.
You've got to look at everything, mostly saturated fats and sugars. Soda is bad. But if you must have it, drink the regular stuff.
Personally, I prefer unsweet tea or fruit juice.
Nestea ftw.
Water is much better than any other drink, but it's bad too because it's contaminated. It's best to drink it from a filtered faucet.
Filtered water is nice. I've got a little Brita filter. But sometimes I want something sweet. I guess natural sweets are the way to go. :)
Fruits are the best sweets as long as you wash them off first.
Speaking of fruits, I wonder if those Sobe/Naked/powerfood drink companies wash the fruits they put in.
Actually, juice has a lot of calories since it's so abundant in natural sugars. More calories than soda, but it has essential vitamins too.
Fate: I love Naked Juice. My favorite flavor is carrot.
I love me some apple juice. Seriously, the stuff to me is like watermelon to eskimos.
Natural sugars are super-better than fake ones.
Personally I like the white one. I think it has coconut in it or something.
I've never tried them before. Are they expensive?
Like, three or four dollars a bottle. It's like food substitution.
Never had them. I'll get one in the morning when I get a bagel. I know they sell them at brueggers.
Don't get the green one. :(
Why? What flavor is it?
It looks like spinach. It could very well be spinach for all I know.
Or kiwi or something.
Tastes bad or do you think it could be contaminated with the recent pesticide scare?
Pesticide scare? I didn't hear about that. Is it in fruit-flavored soda too or what? I don't know if they use real fruit.
Well, I don't think it affected fruit, but actually some vegetables, spinach mainly. I'm sure if they were to make some ***awful spinach drink, it would be using the same natural spinach.
Also, the E Coli spinach scare, although that is pretty much over.
That's what I was talking about, actually.
