And he would know this because.....?

A friend's father told me years ago (33 years ago?) that Mountain Dew tasted
more like urine than anything he could think of. Haven't touched the stuff
since.

I also refuse to eat peas. Ben too. Both my boys love them.

Calvin and Hobbes! "Ewww, what's this, Mom?" Calvin, pointing to
something on his plate. "A spider leg." Mom calmly replies.

Calvin's eyes bugging out. "Really?" and he dives in, taking a huge
bite. LOL

At the Coca Cola museum in Atlanta there's a tasting room. A couple of
dozen spigots and thousands of paper cups. What they have is the Coke products
for sale in other countries. Some countries have local flavors they really
like, or just happen not to like what Americans like. And there's a ton of info
about it there in that big room. And on screens above they're showing videos
of Coke commercials in other countries too. It's fascinating. (I don't know
if it's still set up that way, I went when Holly was little.)

The flavor that is tried the most, that the people have to keep replacing
tanks on, is a Japanese flavor that's so freakishly foreign that everybody wants
to taste it. Tasted kinda soapy.

There's an Australian thing I've tasted (and sent back for more) that tastes
oddly soapy too. LillyPilly Aeroplane Jelly. It is (in American terminology)
jello made of a local fruit. The color is like nothing in the U.S.
whatsoever, a kind of light blue I had never seen. Looked like light. Tasted sweet and
tickly and had a mysterious aftertaste. And because it was So different I
wanted more.

Some Australian tell us about this, please.

How do you know what ear wax tastes like?
Maybe you don't.

Sometimes people touch something and then they forget and end up tasting it.
It happens.

And little kids who pay hard and don't shower a lot end up smegmatized, upon
occasion.
Just a little, but a little's all it takes.

Smegma is like crotchal ear-wax.

Holly wants to know why armpits aren't called arm crotches. She's serious.
I say it can't be changed at this point.

Hmmm, maybe that explains why I liked the way Coca-Cola tasted when we were
in Tanzania/Kenya, but I don't care much for it here. I just figured it was
because it was so much hotter there and we were totally thirsty so it tasted
better. I did have to swear off of drinking it past 5:00 pm though after I
got up to pee in the middle of the night and found an elephant outside our
tent! My body wasn't used to the effects of the caffeine (diuretic) and I
didn't feel like any more midnight trips to the loo.
They also had some great, incredibly strong ginger beer over there. Haven't
found anything here to match it.

Blue Skies!

I always thought that the back of the knee should be called the knee-pit. I
was serious also.

It's better in England than it is here. Different sweetener.

> I'm a Diet Coke addict, but I hated it in Europe.

It's not diet coke here, it's coca-cola light, and it's gross.

The best part of my invariably long layover at the Charlotte, NC airport is
that I have time to go to Chili's restaurant (the only one in the airport)
and order a diet coke and drink several of them. No free refills in Europe,
either.

leaving on 15 July, and excited!!!!

The yummy fanta. Hmmm. Fanta comes in six or eight flavors that I can
tell. Limon (lemon), Limette (lime), Orange (not as sweet as the orange
soda in the states, whatever that is), Wild Berries, and several I can't
even remember. Those four are the most common.

Was it the not-so-sweet Orange you liked? My favorite is Limette, it tastes
like carbonated limeade from my childhood, minus all the wierd pulpy stuff.
Not at all like American lemon-lime sodas, much sharper. I also like
Orangina, but that's not a fanta product.

Haven't been to Spain, Portugal, or Morocco yet, though. Maybe it's
different down there.
