Isn't that the worse than insipid English product?? Last tiem I had any, it tasted more Bleeegh!! than Pepsi. Unless they use a different formula in this country, that product is worse than warm cat piss!!

[] Gee, Arash, I can't make the comparison you did because I don't have the same eclectic taste you do, but orange crush over here is fairly good. Diet Orange Crush, not widely available in the eastern US, was one of the first two drinks to go 100% Nutrasweet. It was really good. I found it, on my travels to Illinoisland, highly addicting.(pant, pant, slobber). I hope to widen my tastes this summer. In another month or so I should be able to compare orange crush (well, diet orange crush) to English beer- which I hear is served warm and may taste comparably to the feline-based products you mentioned. -- "It's the thought, if any, that counts!"

ARRRRGHHHHHHHHHH!!!! There is a HUGE difference between English BEER and Americian beer (...a kind of thin, fizzy lager... [Nevil Shute, 1953]). The very worst English BEER (Watney's) is better than the average Americian beer. Also they don't drink it warm (70+ F) but at room tempature (55-60 F) as opposed to cold (35-40 F), and the flavor is formulated to drink at that tempature. beer is lousy at room tempature and BEER is lousy COLD. Also BEER is *FRESH*, rarely more that a week out of the brewery. -- Stephen C.
