You gotta love these soda companies advertising *7 up*...

100% Natural flavors...

Filtered Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Natural Citric Acid, Natural Flavors, Natural Potassium Citrate.

Yeah, I'm glad the carbonated water is filtered, and who drinks artificial acid? Natural flavors, but they aren't saying lemon and lime...hmmm? and again, I never drink artificial potassium citrate, only the natural potassium citrate...

Yea natural soda...anyone else believe this nonsense?

This sounds not unlike those "vegetarian" fried chicken menus.

High Fructose Corn Syrup. Corn derived products. Part of the reason americas are so fat, and why I need to lose 5-10 pounds.

Mmm I just love drinking artificial flavoring, I wonder what it would taste like if it was natural?

Soda would probably be a bit healthier if they used natural flavoring instead of artificial crap, such as seltzer/carbonated water, sugar/artificial sweetener and natural flavoring.

sometimes 'natural' stuff tastes like crap though.
and being 'natural' doesn't mean its good for you either.

they are mentioning the flavor that they add is 100% pure.

look at Carnuba wax for cars. Every wax says their wax is 100% carnuba.......but any one who knows anything about specialized chemistry knows that carnuba is harder then bricks in a natural state. if you wipe your car with it, you'll create scratches, not remove them!!!!

Good thing that I don't drink soft drink (it gives me gas).

If I were you I'd purposely drink soda in multiple real life situations. Hilarity ensues!

I do occasionally indulge for some hilarious endeavors, especially when I want to chuck a sickie from work, skull a 2L bottle of whatever, make the most revolting burps possible and call it as though I am going to spew me guts up. Thus I get to go home to engage in activities I actually are interested in.
