I hadn't heard of Pepsi White before, but from what I gather from your post, all I have to say is BLECH!!!! Sometimes I think the Japanese are too creative.

Also: I'm so confused by this UK weather disaster! From all the pictures I've seen, it just looks like a normal amount of snow...why is such chaos ensuing??

You know it! Turtle flavoured jell-o, anyone?

I haven't the slightest, except to (conveniently?) blame global warming. This is small fry weather compared to Canada, Poland, Romania, Finland, etc. but it's sudden, it's unsettling for us in general after being used to nothing but rain and we're not exactly prepared for this kind of thing. No snow tires, for one. :/

Oh, and apparently we're running out of grit for the roads. Either we've panicked and used way more than enough the first time round this week, or it's genuinely running out...

Turtle...flavoured jell-o??? Wow, that's a bit horrifying.

Not to make light of the weather situation, but it's a bit pathetic, really...can't the Finns come to the rescue, with aid packages of sow tires and grit or something??

Yogurt and Pepsi... *shivers* Now I'm totally interested in Black Jack. I'm going look it up just because you geeked out over it. Sides, I need something to keep me entertained. And you like chocolate biscotti?! I knew there was a reason why I liked you! *smiles*

It's a medical drama, so you might find that interesting especially as he performs the surgeries and comes up with diagnoses.

I'd advise you to go for the original manga rather than the OAV or the anime series, because the original tone is retained and nothing is compromised in terms of story or characterisation. There are standard Tezuka gags though, so keep an eye out for them (such as the man with a candle on his head, or the little pig thing). Also keep in mind that Tezuka started his career during the 1940's when stereotypical portrayals of other races were acceptable. However, look at what he does with these portrayals in his work as a whole and how they DO affect the actual story before you come to your conclusions.

I'm a fan of the exotic particularly on food and drinks provided they are halal of course.

I've had Pepsi concoctions before like that Pepsi Cherry which I am never repeating because it tasted like bitter cough syrup. I'm glad that's off the market here.

Pepsi White??? Cola and Yogurt?? But isn't yogurt a somewhat sour thingee?

Man...I think this will taste worse than Sprite minus the caramel and mixed vinegar instead.

Why mix cola and yogurt? There is already cream soda and that taste great BTW..this does not sound very original either.

there is such a thing as cola with ice cream or whipped cream and that works.

But yogurt??? Didn't they think that there will be a deadly combination of the live bacteria in this with the acid content in soda?

what are they thinking??

I'm not sure if it's actual yogurt, or just yogurt flavourings. :P It's amazing how much more you know about food than I do, because it didn't occur to me about the live bacteria if it's actual yogurt in that thing.

I didn't even KNOW there was a Pepsi Cherry until now...the Cola wars will never end.
