neufuse Veteran Posted June 8, 2015 Veteran Share Posted June 8, 2015 Exactly! My neighbour is a triathlete, he loves his fast food and beer, but all in moderation, he's as fit as hell (athletic wise, not to say he's isn't a handsome man, you understand). yep, hey even arsenic is in your body naturally and in a lot of natural foods. but in such small amounts... yet we make arsenic sound like it will kill you the second you have even a microgram of it around you...

I've never heard that (the killing part). Carcinogen, sure. What is naturally in our bodies is organic AS, vs. the more poisonous inorganic AS.

wahoospa Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Sounds like he had something in his mouth that changed the taste of Dr. Pepper. Like last night I brushed my teeth and then used mouth wash. About 10 minutes later I decided to drink a half glass of Sprite. The Sprite tasted almost like grapefruit so I stopped drinking the rest of it. This morning the taste of Sprite was fine.

madd-hatter Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 The last few times I've tried a Barq's Root Beer I've noticed a cinnomon flavoring that I have never noticed in the first 20+ years of my carbonated drinking life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted June 9, 2015 Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yip.. I know. Love Marzipan... but bitter almonds? Last i checked almonds were not bitter. Or is it just me? no, i think it means that it tastes of almonds AND it tastes bitter like you put some bitters on almonds. and added lots of sugar too. that is pretty much Dr Pepper.

neufuse Veteran Posted June 9, 2015 Veteran Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yip.. I know. Love Marzipan... but bitter almonds? Last i checked almonds were not bitter. Or is it just me? there are two types of almonds, sweet and bitter... bitter almonds if you don't extract the cyanide from them as little as 50 of them can kill you if you are an adult and as little as 5 of them if a child... most almonds produced for consumption are sweet almonds hence why the OP said bitter almonds, they are implying Dr. Pepper will kill you if you drink it.....
