No kidding!  Chan was drinking a fruit drink (from V8 I think!) the other
day, and I noticed that it had more sugar in it than a can of coke...

It would explain why I packed on the weight while drinking Sobe (I loved
the grapefruit-based one) and dropped it when I moved on to just water.
(My first replacement for the coffee and soft drinks was to go to those
fruit drinks.  Now I can get water everywhere, so I just drink that,
unless I eat at my favorite vietnamese place, where I have pennywort
juice.)

Ya know, drinking water with a meal actually makes the food taste
better...
