Re: [GZG] [OT] Mountain Dew - Why the fuss? [TOBECLASSIFIED] [SEC=PERSONAL]

>From my experience of soft drink after my last US trip, the base
recipes
are also very different between the US and Canada versions.

The US version uses corn starch syrup, predominatantly (blech! I got
very sick trying to drink that stuff), but the Canadian (and Australian)
versions use sugar as the sweetener.  The difference in taste is very
noticible as well.

I don't think the Australian version has any caffeine in it either.
