4gamin: The FDA just classified Mountain Dew as fruit juice.
No, they created a new category for it: nectar of the gods. :)

Phc7006: I have seen the list of ingredients.... Contains acid yellow 23. It is forbidden to import this product to Finland and Austria. Elsewhere in Europe, a label should be added , stating that "may cause attention and or behavioural disorder". And Sodium Benzoate as well, suspected to be neuro-degenerative....

So, tonight I'll make sure that what I drink is real fruit juice. 1996 vintage port ...
Acid yellow 23? I know citric acid and yellow 5, but soft drinks change slightly per region. Like how Coke doesn't taste so well in Europe, but Fanta is good there. The opposite is true in the US, in my opinion (I know others differ on that point, but that doesn't matter for the point I'm making here).

Sodium Benzoate is used in a LOT more than just Mountain Dew. (I don't like the food industry's reliance on preservatives, either.)

You have to say pizza is a vegetable, how else can you get little kids to eat it all up?

And that was exactly not my point. :)

EDIT: As a side note, my wife, who hails from the EU and mainly ate natural, homemade foods for her entire life (homemade sauerkraut, mayo, ketchup,etc), shares my Coke/Fanta opinion. She didn't understand how people could enjoy Coke until she tried it in the US. But as mentioned, the point of what I said is just: things are made differently in different places.
