First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Five Alive

[MenashaCorp]

Caught up to pg 125 now...
My summary update--

We all will be wearing Black Bar Glasses over our eyes so we'll be as anonymous as John in the Cruise pics.

Dr Ruth practices with ice cream cones? Ew. Madi (a "quiet one" ya gotta watch) made copies in High School of dirty Cosmo articles.

Many say start motion sickness remedies pre-cruise.

John (3GuysandaGal) is a well-trained DH.

Don bought DISWife Brandie a sparkly Disco Bra, DH Matt approved and actually POSTED!!

We can look forward to Zumba and Belly Dancing demonstrations after I buy a couple of rounds..

ADP is a hugger.

The cruise thread seems to be a way to also catch up on pertinent CHAT items...

I only drink water or skim milk at home. Sometimes I buy Light Cranberry juice. When I'm out, I still drink water usually. My favorite soda is Root Beer. Love it. Only drink it when I go out though... and most places don't offer it. Never buy soda for home. Bad, bad, bad. DH on the other hand drinks sodas all night long. He's a Crown and 7-Up man at night and a Mountain Dew guy in the morning. I keep DD11 away from the stuff.

Diet Pepsi was first sold in 1964.

...also wondering how late a Brudda gotta stay up to get #3000!!!

 

[tickledtink33]

I know all too well how they can get. I created my own hullabaloo regarding saving tables at CS restaurants. If you wanna know my opinion, PM me. As for sodas in the mugs.... I always got hot chocolate in mine. It was freezing cold down there and I needed something to warm m' bones for the long trek back to our room.

Oh yes, the table saving threads. I have seen a few but did not post as things were getting pretty ugly. I am usually in WDW solo, so if I am going to eat counter service I will eat during the off times when the restaurants are less busy. This has solved my finding a table problem.

Then again, thinking back, I dont remember a diet pop/soda as a kid.
I'm talkin '69-74.

When did "DIET" soda start?

I think we had Tab back then.

I wish I never started drinking soda. My BFF use to drink 2 two liters of Pepsi a day and she quit drinking it all together. I wish I could. The longest I have gone is a month.

Heres the poop on pop....

According to Wikipedia...

"The beginning of the diet soda or refreshment era was in 1952, when Kirsch Bottling in Brooklyn, New York launched a sugar free ginger ale called No-Cal. It was designed for diabetics, not dieters, and distribution remained local. Royal Crown Cola placed an announcement in an Atlanta newspaper in 1958 announcing a diet soda product, Diet Rite. In 1963, the Coca-Cola Company joined the diet soda market with Tab, which proved to be a huge success. Tab was originally sweetened with cyclamates and saccharin.

Tab, Diet Rite, and Fresca (a grapefruit-flavored soda introduced by Coca-Cola) were the only brand-name diet refreshments on the market until Pepsi released Diet Pepsi in the 1960s (initially as Patio Diet Cola). Coca-Cola countered by releasing Diet Coke in 1982. After the release of Diet Coke, Tab took a backseat on the Coca-Cola production lines; Diet Coke could be more easily identified by consumers as associated with Coca-Cola than Tab. Additionally, a study was released claiming that saccharin was a possible carcinogen, leading to Coca-Cola's decision to decrease production of Tab."


Ya learn something new everyday.

TAB....I know it tastes worse than lizard spit. Don't ask me how, just trust me.
