Chocolate is derived from cocoa beans.

Bean = vegetable.
Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar BEETS.
Both of them are plants, in the vegetable category.
Thus, chocolate is a vegetable.

To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is dairy. So candy bars are a health food.

Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

There is a cola nut, which grows on trees.

So...how do cola drinks fit into this? :)

There's always Pepsi Blue - "a fusion of berries with a splash of cola!"

It's not available in the UK either. I'd certainly like to try it, as I've been
drinking Pepsi Max (Maximum Taste - No Sugar) since February 1993!

Pepsi Max isn't available here, but Diet Vanilla Coke just came out a couple of months ago. Tried it once, blah!

A&W Diet Cream is better.

We do have Pepsi One though, has 1 calorie, and taste somewhat different than Diet Pepsi.

I think Pepsi One is the US equivalent to Pepsi Max. Judging by the early
adverts on TV for Pepsi Max shown in the UK in 1993-5, I am under the
impression that Pepsi Max was briefly available in the US at some point,
discontinued after a year or so, only to be relaunched a few years later
in the US (possibly in 2000-2001 sometime) as the "new" Pepsi One.

I could be wrong . . .

According to the Pepsico web site, Pepsi Max is available outside of the U.S.

Hmm, that essentially says Pepsi Max is available is currently available
only outside the US. It doesn't really offer any clues as to whether the
brand "Pepsi Max" was ever available in the US anytime in the past.
Maybe I'll ask Pepsi Cola about it, whenever I get the chance . . .

I think in America, it's called Pepsi One.

If one looks at the ingredient listing for Pepsi One, it has a different sweetener in it. I think it's in addition to aspartame.

I just found out that Pepsi Blue was available in the supermarket. So I bought a bottle just to try it out. I don't know about anybody else, but the tastes really wasn't that great for me. I still prefer the regular Pepsi than Pepsi Blue.

Pepsi Blue = Pepsi Glue

I returned it to the store for a refund since no one at my house, including my children :shock: , would drink it.
