[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Grapefruit soda anyone? (Page 1 of 2)

| Does anybody else like grapefruit soda? I seem to get weird looks when I drink or buy the stuff but I love it. They even sell a diet grapefruit soda sweetened with sucralose (Splenda) for those of us watching our sugar/carb intake. |

Quoted:
If it's made with real Grapefruit juice and your on medication, might not want to drink it. Grapefruit/juice inhibits the absorption of quite a few drugs. I thought it boosted absorption. It was overdosing people. Time release medications all at once. Good stuff though.

Quoted: Yeah, I have read that about grapefruit juice. First when I took one med for gout, the pharmacist's instructions said don't drink grapefruit juice while you're on this. Later I read other articles about the interactions between grapefruit juice and medications other than the one I was on.

Good stuff.
Years and years ago I went on a float trip with some friends on the apple,river in WI. A friend and I hooked up with a girl and her friend and in the middle of doing the nasty the girl I was with brother opened the tent with the brother of the other girl, we took off running and snaged their cooler thinking it was full of beer but when we got back it was full of fresca. Every time I drink one now I have to laugh as it makes me remember that night. |

I like to mix it 50/50 with Gaterade Fruit Punch flavored G2. |
