I enjoy citrus beverages. I keep a jug of lemon juice on hand to add a
shot to my ice water (my main beverage). And we used to have a local
bottling company "Whistle Beverages" which made Bubble-Up and Whistle
Orange soda. I drank a lot of both. Whistle orange is currently produced
by Vess and no around here carries Vess products because their cola is
nasty to the max. I understand Bubble-Up (the "Billion Bubble Beverage")
is still in production somewhere.

In a rare moment of watching the glass teat (for the Miami F1 race) I
saw the Burpsie Cola has a new sugar-free calle Pepsi Zero which I may
try. Coke Zero is quite nice. If Pepsi hasn't done to their Zero sugar
product what the did to Pepsi One - made it so heavy on artificial that
it was both sickeningly sweet and had a bitter aftertaste ... they may
have a wwinner.
