Re Smitdogg: Pepsi Max seems to lose its carbonation too quickly in my experience.
I noticed that as well. It's as if anything which isn't sugar or high fructose corn syrup has a better grip on the CO2 than other sweeteners. That makes sense especially after cleaning up a spill of something containing sucrose or fructose on the floor and you think it's all cleaned up. And then an hour later you can feel the stickiness again if you walk barefoot over the surface.
Anyway, I usually down a PepsiMAX within five minutes after opening. After that it gets very flat. It's tasty due to the shot of red panax ginseng within it but the carbonation is fleeting and is best consumed when immediately opened.

Re Smitdogg: Sorbitol is I think what a lot of gums use now, or is that the one that starts with an X... You have to eat a lot to get a strong laxative effect. Just popping a piece of gum does nothing.
I chew gum that has sorbitol with no problems. Some gums contain xylitol which is another type of low-carb sugar alcohol-based sweetener. I'm not worried about gum. It's the soluble candies made out of that stuff that people eat to excess and then make a CP mess later.
Sorbitol candies + Dave's Gourmet Insanity Sauce = Wrecked 'em? Dang near killed 'em! Butthurt
Oh, man! I'm jonesin' for some Dave's! That is a spiritual awakening right there! It's naturally low-carb since you really don't need much!

Already done. Chicken breasts coated with parmesean cheese and Italian dressing mix then pan-fried. It was one dang rainy day. But wow! It was yummy when a splash of marinara sauce and hot pepper cheese is plopped on top of it.
The beef is in the freezer, BTW. :-)

Re jibmums: Kashi GoLean Crisp Toasted Berry Crumble. Delicious? Oh yeah. One of my favorite cereals. But sweet mother of God, you'd best prepare yourself for the farts to follow.
I'll second that as a consumer. Kashi is really, REALLY yummy! But wow! It just isn't compatible with some GI tracts. And it really doesn't matter what Kashi ya git! A bowlful of Kashi is gonna make peoples' GI tracts sing baritone!

P.S. Who wants to try Kashi+Dave's?
