I have to weigh in on the tap water/bottled water thing. Bottled water is often a scam, like "mountain spring" water. But you can get heavily filtered and purified bottles of water too. Look for the bottles that say "reverse osmosis" on the label. The water might start out as tap water, but that's not important since the end result is very pure water.

But if the water is that pure, it causes the plastic to leach into the water, which you then drink. It also leaches important chemicals out of your body, so tap water is far better for you than pure water.

DBD you got slapped too?

Adding to your water story... Tap Water + a Brita filter = what I am on now

As of today I decided to stop with Cordials and Fizzy drinks alltogether... I was until recently using Vimto for not having aspartme but then realised it had a lot of from concentrate which causes me to have mouth ulcers... annoying ones... just one or two... so I have now decided my general drink from now on is filtered tap water and the occasional tea/coffee preferably decaff.

Back on topic

When I was in Japan back in 2007 I noticed and had Pepsi NEX, which without use of another word... WAS AWESOME!

oh seriously, it was the NEXt best thing...

But yeah I found it one day while going around with my then GF now ex and was thirsty and was like 'OOOOH I wanna try one of those street vending machines...' and was looking through [some of these vending machines have incredible selections wow way more than what we get here...] and I came across a familiar logo... but I misread the name I thought it said Pepsi MAX... so I got it [it was a very sunny day so please dont burn me] and after I got the bottle I had a closer look and was like... 'Eh? NEX? What The' Wish they would release it here... the packaging was equally awesome
