    "the Council supports the continued availability of aspartame"

    Well yeah, they work for the people who make the stuff. Of course they're gonna support the continued availability of it. It's like the tobacco lobbies in the U.S. telling everyone cigarettes don't really cause cancer when people who smoked were dropping like flies. I smoke myself but I sure a fúck wouldn't let my kids do it. Imagine how much Ribena kids go through in a day.

    Oh, I thought you were posting it to prove your point, my bad.

    This reminds me a person I used to work with, he used to Fúck me out of it if he saw me drinking powerade because it's full of the stuff.

    I miss that guy, he was a crazy motherfúcker.

    I'm not sure why, exactly, but it seems that everything grape-related (sweets, drinks, etc) in every other country has been inexplicably replaced with that vile thing known as black currant in the UK and Ireland.

    Arguably it's because grapes aren't native to the British Isles, but it's simulated flavour (at least in the case of sweets) and as far as I'm aware, simulated flavour knows no borders. And grape is clearly nicer tasting than black currant.

    Long live grape Starburst! Down with this black currant madness.

    It wouldn't surprise me if blackcurrant growers and manufacturers had a deal with Irish shops to only stock blackcurrant products. It seems to be the way business is done in this country. Bloody blackcurrant growing bastards. :mad:
