    Try using Splenda instead of sugar, just as sweet and NO calories!! - 8/10/08

    50 calories a pop ain't bad. This reminds me of a great movie quote: "One day our kids are gonna be eatin' cornbread that's sweet, and drinkin' iced tea that ain't, and they'll think it's right. That's not a world I want to live in."
    Thanks for sharing! :) - 7/27/08

    I use evaporated sugar cane crystals which is better for your body to digest. Same great taste but healthier. - 7/29/09
