Re: ~Follow up on Coke's Claim It's Good for Hydration~

i never was a product of the coke advertising, i simply liked the taste of coke products because they were less sweet than pepsi.  i still like mr pibb over dr pepper.  but i am saddened they removed prune juice. i don't know if mr pibb ever used it, but i much prefer prune juice.  but if there is benzoate in it, then it cannot have vit. c or it is deadly.  i rarely ever drink commercial pop, do not like it.  but i do buy virgil's ever so often.  i know i know, it has sugar and it has carbon dioxide, but it seems even mother theresa wasn't any mother theresa (i have been hearing).  so, sometimes i gotta have some rootbeer.  you are making me way thirsty!

Contains no sodium benzoate

Think of Virgil's as a gourmet root beer. We're what Ben and Jerry's is to ice cream, what Dom Perignon is to champagne. We're a micro-brewed root beer made with all-natural ingredients. We use herbs imported from around the world and unbleached pure cane sugar.

How good are we?

So good we won the International Fancy Food and Confection Show's "Outstanding Beverage" award in 1994, 1996, and 1997! This show is attended by many of the world's best restaurants and hotels. We won the "American Taste Award For Excellence In Root Beer". Would Coca Cola's Fanta, Pepsico's Barq's or A&W compete? Not on your life, wouldn't stand a chance!
