Peanuts coming to five Cedar Fair parks in 2010

Coke also makes a non-corn syrup version in the US for passover. A jewish friend at work picks up a few two liters for me that time of year.

Non-Jewish people are also allowed to buy that. They don't card you, or anything. Pepsi also makes "kosher Pepsi" the same way.

There are a couple places in Pittsburgh that you can get the glass bottle, pure sugar Pepsi from Mexico. It's pretty awesome. I think if they would have done the Pepsi Throwback (which was also awesome, btw) in glass bottles it could have done better. Perhaps it didn't do well, but I know that every time I went to the store it was sold out. I was only able to get my hands on 4 12-packs all summer.

Coke doesn't do it for me. I think Pepsi has the better range of drinks with Mtn Dew, Code Red, Crush, the Tropicana flavors, etc.

(edited to add quote due to page break.)

Pepsi also has their non-corn-syrup version. It's called Throwback. They have it for Mountain Dew as well. It was for a limited time. But, it was popular enough that they're bringing it back in December. I tried it a few times in the original release earlier this year and thought it was pretty good.

They also have Pepsi Natural. It has absolutely nothing artificial in it. It tastes nothing like Pepsi. I do not like it. It doesn't taste natural. ;)

I'm not a big Mountain Dew drinker, but the throwback variety was exceptionally better tasting, and I thought it was actually slightly less sweet. I liked it.

Diet Mt Dew and Diet Code Red are good, but I much prefer Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi.

But then my carbonated drink of choice, if I can find it, is still Tab. (A Coke product, BTW...)

And usually I'll take a good fresh-brewed unsweetened iced tea over any of them (but none of that premix crap, that's nasty)

As for Peanuts coming back, eh. I'm in the Camp of "how many kids really know who they are anymore?" The Peanuts just don't have much relevance these days -- I know it annoys me that our paper STILL publishes "Classic Peanuts" to this day when there are other, better strips they've dropped (such as Zippy the Pinhead and, as of this weekend, Prince Valliant)

I'm thinking Cedar Fair has done the numbers and figured out they come out ahead, but on the surface it seems like a short-sighted cost-cutting measure.

I would love to try the non high fructose corn syrup version of Coke.

McDonald's recently demolished an old restaurant and then rebuilt a brand new restaurant in it's place in a few towns over from me. I pass by there a few times a week for work. The coolest thing about the new place is that they replaced their old soda fountains with brand new fountains. I don't know exactly what is so different about them, but the stuff that comes out of them is soooo gooood! lol. Not quit as good as Kings island's Coke, but close.

I am starting to not be able to drink fountain soda as of late due to the "you never know what your gonna get" factor. Cans are the only way for me, the taste always seems just right- plastic bottles never have enough carbonation and glass bottles while tasty are hard to find.
