Why hasn't some enterprising company produced what every right-thinking consumer is looking for - a soft drink which does not pander to the politically correct pro-homosexuality lobby?

Come on drinks manufacturers. What are you waiting for? We want an anti-queer cola and we want it now.

When conservatives boycott a product its racist, when liberals do it, its called social justice. The Whole Foods boycott liberals pushed for after the CEO wrote an opinion piece in the WSJ about Obamacare got liberals panties in a bunch comes to mind as a silly example.

I dont know the facts of what you are talking about but Ill bet it was not about equal oppertunity for those who are discriminated against due to sexual preference.

And those who disagree with homosexual marriage have every right to not buy products from companies that donate large sums of money to help the gay marriage proposals go thru.

Those who agree with gay marriage should support the companies that donate these dollars.



The idea that one protest or boycott is legitimate and the other is nothing but whackos is simply bigotry.

I never said they did not have such a right.

Oddly enough the Whole Foods in Parker seems to be doing a rather good business for the midst of a boycott.

Those were hilarious. I was amazed that they pulled it off the first time I saw one.


I used to like to drink 7&7s, but I had trouble finding 7UP for a while, so I gave them up.

I'll have to go out of my way to go shop there now that I know about the boycott.

My grandfather should, by rights, have been a millionaire. He invented One Up, but it failed to catch on, so he added a secret ingredient and called it 2 UP. Again failure. Not to be out done he went on to invent 3 UP, 4 UP and 5 UP. Each a dismal failure. When 6 UP failed he gave up!
So close!

I'm still not used to it. I'll take lemon but leave out the sugar, please! At least now I understand when I ask for "tea" at a restaurant it will come in a glass with ice.

My dad is obsessed with iced tea, so I was raised on it, myself.

I like Dew as well. Prior to the Surge craze, and the emergence of Dew, I was hardcore rootbeer, and I never expected some yellow junk would come along and replace rootbeer...

Iced tea is all right. My favorite is Lemon Snapple.

Mountain Dew has been around for 40 years or so. Probably not nationwide though. It first had a hillbilly with a long rifle on the returnable bottle.
That was back when milk came in glass gallon returnable jugs in the grocery.

Did you know that Dew is just a few tenth's of a pH point off from being classified as hazardous waste?

Yes, and Mello Yellow was around at least as far back as the 80s, and Coke brought it back for a few years to replace Surge. The point is, until the wild success of Surge as a major fad, citris soda was not largely popular (Sprite and 7-Up enjoyed some success, others such as Citra and Squirt had their successes for periods of time). Surge made Mountain Dew a huge success, and the two (Coke & Pepsi products) competed until the Surge craze ended in 2001, Coke freaked out over the huge drop in sales (of course, you morons, it was a fucking fad!!!), and pulled it from the market.

Ohh well at least I can drink it and drive :)

anyway I thought Coke was the stuff used for everything. Dechroming bumpers, removing bug guts from windshield, etc.
