We had a party at our place last night. Had about 9 adults and 11 kids over for some fall fun. We had a hay ride, a bind fire and a ‘drive in’ movie on our back porch (I borrowed a projector from work and setup a simple screen with a bed sheet). It was…

I’ve heard that they use different sweeteners in the regular versions of Coke (beet sugar in Mexico, Cane sugar in the US), but I had never heard that the Diet Coke artificial sweetener in Europe was different than the US.  I wish they would have used the European version in the US years ago…I would have…
