Vitamin D does help the immune system but everywhere I looked said it's first function, or what we really need it for, is bone growth and maintenance. I find it odd that they would be pushing that one instead of something vitamin C or something else.

It's being pushed as the best defense against the flu this year. Vitamin D supplements are constantly selling out at drug stores and whatnot.

Also, re: caffeine being illegal in non-brown liquids, that law has some loopholes. Energy drinks, for instance, contain loads of caffeine and are all kinds of colours. I believe that if caffeine is an ingredient in something considered "food" then it's covered under the regulation, and if it is an "additive" in a "health product" such as an energy drink or similar, it is not covered under the law.

There is a version of Mountian Dew with a black label that has been sold here in the past two years or so that has caffeine. It falls into the category of a “Natural Health Product”

@waku: I find that colas seem to have smaller bubbles than non-colas such as sprite, 7-up, root beer, and things with "fruit" flavours and bright colours. Also, colas have a lot more acid than non-colas, which might change the feeling of the bubbles going down! I agree, it does feel soothing to the throat, almost as if it's scratching an itch or something.

Check sig for details!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can describe the bubblies as scratching your throat! I drink pop like mad when I have a sore throat.... It's not very good in the long run but it's like the only thing that gives me instant relief!
