you need to jump on my internal anti-HFCS taskforce Rick.

also, i heard stevia gives you the...um..doodies.
I've tried Stevia in Zevia drinks (clever naming, huh?) http://www.zevia.com/ sold at a gigantic local health food store in SF called Rainbow Grocery.
I was jazzed about trying the non-artificial sweetener and keeping my diet soda habit...But Zevia wasn't so good. Strangley, I have become so used to the typical (aspartame, nutrasweet, etc) diet sodas, that Zevia seems tastes like sugary syrup. The flavors didn't help much either. I tried Orange and Cola. Tasted like a melted snow-cone.
Sorry to dissapoint. I'm sure future companies will get better with Stevia. And hopefully they will make products that don't rhyme with the main selling point.
@Nicole - I already purchase stevia as an extract and make my own soda (Dr. Rick!) so I am totally used to it.
Oh nice! Bottle it, brand it and send it out for taste testing :)
We are thinking about banning soda here in the SF office. I am slighltly terrified of the idea.
So what flavors has Dr. Rick conceived of?
