    OK, I don't drink coke any more. But occasionally my husband or children want a treat. This week we discovered Trader Joe's All natural cola. They loved it. For an occasional treat, I am absolutely fine with this. No HFCS or other chemical crap...just pure ingedients...including cane sugar of course.

    How the heck can soda be "natural'? Its made in a lab for petes sake!

    If I mix soil and water in a lab, can I no longer call it natural mud?

    Well soil comes from the earth not a bunch of beakers and chemicals.

    Argentina gets everything man. Grass fed cows, super hot Presidente de la Nación, and now Stevia Coke.

    You should see my cousin! One of the hottest models there!


    (No, I'm not lying. My uncles daughters got the looks. My dad's daughters got fat....... Not fair. :sad: ) Oh well I'm gonna ask my cousin to send me some, see how it tastes. Even though I haven't had soda in 2 years, and probably will explode from the carbonation alone.

    Soil and water are both chemicals.

    And both could be put in beakers.


    And most elements exist in nature.

    See this is why definitions require context. Unfortunately, the FDA has not given a specific definition of "natural" for use in food labeling, so unless we're talking meat/dairy products, this label has absolutely no value. FDA definition of organic is better, but still has clarification issues. Then there's the broader layman's interpretation of "natural" i.e. occurs in nature, but generally speaking that is NOT what is meant when natural is used for food labels.

    Ok, have to stop now, having flashbacks to arguments about the scientific definition of the term theory.

    Why, just why? What possible value does this product claim?

    I agree, definitions DO require context. When I hear people using buzzwords like "CHEMICALS!!!1" it drives me insane because it is just used to incite the image of volatile compounds being made in a lab that will melt your organs.

    My brother just switched to Zevia, which is a line of stevia-sweetened sodas. He likes them, but they taste like they've been sweetened with cotton candy to me. Can't imagine this will be much different.

    But where is the organic high fructose corn syrup that makes coke tastes so dang good?

    See, I'll take a mexican coke with real sugar over an american coke with hfcs any day, and only because it tastes WAY better. Just ignore the warnings about lead in the glass bottles.....

    Hells yes! Mexican bottled ice cold Coca Cola! Classic :heart: :heart: :heart:
