I don't do sodas at all...because I am allergic to caffeine and I don't see any need for the empty calories. However, my granddaughter's babysitter does like her pepsi and is bad about leaving it where my granddaughter can get it....

As a result...she (at 19 months) is constantly asking for "pop"...and is constantly dissappointed when grandma doesn't produce it. However, clever grandma has also convinced the child that orange juice mixed with club soda is also "pop"...LOL.

Heh.

My son gets diet sprite mixed with his apple juice. He loves the bubbles... laughs hysterically while he's drinking.

It's the only thing he says "Please" for.

Tapioca: Made from the starch of the cassava root (or yucca root), tapioca comes in several forms, including granules and flour, as well as the pellets that are called Pearl Tapioca.

And boy do I love it? Can I come and visit? Chocolate Tapioca Pie ... it must be loooovvveee!

Funny. I HATE yucca plants crapping up my yard. But I love their tapiocaness.

You can visit anytime. But you'll have to wrestle D'man for his chocolate tapioca.

I am far too classy to comment on Brittany

I was enjoying the intellectual stimulation of “America’s Next Top Model” as this thread was going strong.
