The NEW 2001pm - Phun Random Chat Thread!

I hope you make it, Thore.

 

Well i'm off

 

Good night Cold...

 

Night Cold. Sleep well!

 

i REALLY do miss my root beer......but I can't consume that much sugar and I don't want to use artificial sweetners, so I am learning to drink water instead...:|

 

Are you allowed to drink Gatorade?

 

After much water loss due to the heat, I drink the low cal gatorade....like 45 calories to a 20 ounce bottle.

Did I ever tell you I was one of many of Dr. Cade's (the developer of Gatorade) ginney pigs...back in the mid'60's? We, I was. We got lots of free Gatorade and guess what.....it is nothing like what is sold today. It is near tasteless and virtually clear. I hate the work ginney...I know I spell it wrong, but don't feel like calling up google map and looking up the spelling of New Ginney...:?

I want to find a powder mix that contains only the electrolyte chemicals in Gatorade....and none of the carbs (sugars). I am not interested in getting my energy back from sugar, just keeping the chemical blood balance healthy.

 

That's kinda cool that you were a Guinea pig. (I think I spelled it right. I hope.) ... They must make a powder mix that fits your needs. That industry is a billion dollar thing!

 

I have only found powder mixes for their liquid products....i.e. the same stuff with sugars in them, or other sweeteners. I am sure you can find it, and I will do a search over the internet one of the quiet nights. I am just afraid there is such a small market for it that the costs will be too high for me to consider. 99% of most Americans will not pay for near tasteless drinks.

 

Correction: Unless you market it as a female aphrodisiac, a cure for ED, or make your boobs or pecker bigger.

 

From what I remember from the old days, Miller Lite might be an exception.

 

LMAO

 

My experience is with Old Milwaukee. Once I graduated college I swore that stuff would never again pass my lips! That was my graduation present to myself....and I don't think I ever broke that oath.

 

Good call.

 

Old Millwater was sooo cheap down here back then and if chilled to the point where ice crystals would form at the top of the bottle when you popped the top, it was not too terribly bad. I remember getting Old Millwater in long neck bottle for $0.69 a six pack the first of the month at at least one of the two major competing grocery stores here....I would go thru about ten cases a month back then and more if lots of friends would drop by. This is back when My salary was $1.72 and hour.

 

$0.69?!?!

 

the grocery stores would just about sell it at cost to lure customers in....

 

$1.72/hr. -- you must have been a wealthy kid.

 

I was 21 and out on my own....paying rent, utilities, food, etc. ....I was pretty broke.
