RC Cola (with Sugar and HFCS) Review (Soda Tasting #146)

RC Cola (with Sugar and HFCS) Review (Soda Tasting #146)

I reviewed RC Cola, the mainstream version with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), on episode #48. This version is sweetened with sugar and HFCS. I confirmed this with the company that bottled it, Dr Pepper Bottling in West Jefferson, NC. The person I spoke with said it was 99% sugar and 1% HFCS, which comes from the syrup. When I taped this episode, I was under the impression that it was just sugar, but later found out otherwise. So, if […]

Give Me an RC Cola and a MoonPie (Soda Tasting #137)

In the southern United States, the combination of RC Cola and a MoonPie is legendary. No one is really quite sure how it started.

Workers could purchase a MoonPie and a 10 […]
