Gonzo the Face Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Some time back, I used to drink a lot of 7-UP. Now I know that 7-Up is available in Chiang Mai, but what I am looking for is DIET 7-UP..... Can it be bought here in Chiang Mai and can anyone tell me where.???

IanForbes Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Why DIET 7-Up, Gonzo? The chemicals in artificial sugar is worse for you than real sugar... unless it's just the different taste you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czGLoRy Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Why DIET 7-Up, Gonzo? The chemicals in artificial sugar is worse for you than real sugar... unless it's just the different taste you like. thats not true. I believe that aspartame was highly carcinogenic as well, but I am no longer in that camp. Also, obesity is a much larger concern than ingesting carcinogens, and drinking pure hfcs is a good way to get obese/diabetic etc., not to mention things like cavities...

whiterussian Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I would like a soda stream! My aunt was clinically obese. She had lost one hip under the weight. The French have the best health care in the world. She was carted off to a fat farm, for re-education. I cared for her for a year, she lost ALL her excess weight. Her diet: Mainly massive pots of boiled vegetables, lean meat: rabbit; fish...the odd binge on cheese here and there. but most strikingly, the docs advised MASSIVE quantities of caffeine free, sugar free, fizzy drinks.. this bloats the stomach and triggers the 'satisfaction' feelings that you get with a full belly. strange but true.

harrry Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Don't know where to get diet 7up but by the size of your servings you and I both need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenside Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 The only diet versions of soft drinks I've found are Coke and Pepsi - I've asked for Sprite and 7Up often but without luck but I'm sure that someone will see the market and start to sell them soon.

noise Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I would think that discriminating drinkers like Gonzo would also be clamoring for Diet Tonic Water (like I am). It takes only 2 or 3 gin and diet tonic drinks to get used to it; being sure to add a real lime chunk well squeezed. Think of the calories not ingested. And the psychological benefit of diet over regular is immeasurable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgriffith Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Ahh, Gonzo. What a wonderful stroll down Memory Lane. Not only were the A&W carhops on rollerskates lovely....how about the frozen mugs that the concoction was served in? You're in Bakersfield in the summer, the asphalt is melting, 110 in the shade......ice cold A&W root beer. Those were the innocent days, before Beer Leo.....
