Aug. 10th, 2010 03:39 pmMTA Approves Anti-Mosque Ad With Planes Flying Into WTC (photo included)
I saw this at 4:00 a.m. today and was taken aback--I mean, I literally jumped back stunned in my chair.
Funnily enough, most of the news outlets covering this don't include an image.

supergee posted this same article. In addition, sophiaserpentia cogently criticizes this example of anti-Islamic bigotry.

soda drinkers rejoice
Aug. 10th, 2010 04:24 pmDr. Pepper is now available with real sugar as opposed to high-fructose corn syrup. I first saw this option at Busch's in a 12-pack carton, just this week. I don't know what other outlets across the US may offer it.
I've tried the Pepsi & Mountain Dew "throwback" drinks, & I've concluded that I just don't like them. There's an odd aftertaste that irks me. Part of me finds this interesting, as I am one of those people acutely attuned to the flavor of sugar--I can't stand any sugar substitutes (except stevia, & even that has to be unadulterated).
This recipe of Dr. Pepper is different from its Pepsi brethren, though. It actually tastes just like "normal" Dr. Pepper. Looking at the nutritional facts, I presume this fact is due to the higher content of sugars overall--one 12 oz. can has 150 calories mainly due to 40g (!) of sugar.
So, if you're on a low-carb diet, this beverage is not for you. However, if you're into the throwbacks, or just curious as to how a non-HFCS soft drink may taste, I'd recommend real-sugar Dr. Pepper, at least as a novelty.
