Things I will not eat.

[davywavy]

1) Any meat product with the word 'Value' on the packaging. If I want to eat roadkill, I'll peel it off the A1 myself.
e.g.
Them: "I got some delicious ALDI Value burgers for the barbeque!"
Me: "No you didn't."

2) Pringles.
An experiment. Take pringles from the tube and set light to them. Watch in horror as they burn with a fierce, actinic glare. The fats will boil out of them and flare off with a flame like a welding torch. Resolve never to eat anything which burns like that again.

3) Mountain Dew
Another experiment. Spill some Mountain Dew on the carpet at a party and decide to clean it in the morning. In the morning gaze with horror at what the viscous chemical glop marketed as an "exciting taste sensation!" has done to your floor. Never, ever put the stuff in your tummy again.

4) Any foodstuff from a fast food joint which is trying to look like a more reputable brand. e.g. "Tennessee Fried Chicken", or "Pizza shack"
The original was crap, and aspiring to look like crap does not fill me with confidence.

I'm (slightly) wrong - you can't get Mountain Dew in teh this country any more since Pepsico stopped Britvic making the stuff about 7 years ago. Suggestions that this is because some of the ingredients are illegal in the UK are scurrilous, I'm sure.

They didn't put caffeine in the UK one, and it failed miserably, probably as a direct result.

However, they did put High-Fructose Corn Syrup in, which meant they had to stop when imports of GM foodstuffs were banned. They use tartrazine as well, which a lot of people have problems with too. Mountain dew is appalling chemical glop. No identifiable natural ingredients.

I would love to compare the ingredients list of your Dew with our Dew.

I shall have to grab one during my finals tomorrow and get you the list.

Mountain Dew isn't available over here any more - the ingredients list from their US website is what I was basing my opinions on.

I think you can gt it from cyber candy in covent garden. They do a lot of import stuff I believe.
