Jazzeinated!

You all know by now that I'm quite the connoisseur of diet carbonated beverages (I'm from the South, so all carbonated beverages are "Coke" to me, even though I rarely drink Coca-Cola. I just can't bring myself to say soda, soda pop, or, worse, pop). I ran across the new diet Pepsi Jazz at Target over the weekend, and bought both flavors in stock: Diet Black Cherries & Cream and Diet Strawberries & Cream. Gentleman Caller and I shared them and came to the same conclusion: two thumbs down. The strawberry flavor is too artificial and cloyingly sweet. The black cherry is better, but not even close to being as good as the diet Dr. Pepper Berries & Cream (my current favorite). For now, I'll keep my diet caffeine carbonated beverages jazz-free.

I hear rumors that another jazzy flavor is out, or will be out soon: Diet Pepsi Jazz LimeBerry. Intriguing. Anyone else tried any of these new jazzy flavors?

Dinner tonight: tomato pie; skillet roasted broccoli

I'm still a DCVDP girl myself...

Pepsi is a tool of communism. It should be avoided at all costs.

Didn't you see *Invasion of the Body Snatchers*?

Oh, I'm still a huge fan of DCVDP, but I just can't be tied down, man. I got to sample whatever's out there.

Canada Dry Diet Cranberry Ginger Ale. With a slice of lime, it's an absolute delight. (Sans lime, it is still a delight.) And no caffeine.

CDDCGA (Canada Dry...) sure sounds good, but I prefer caffeine. Keeps this ol' artichoke on the move.
