Title: What is it with Pepsi lately??
Post by: GCNMasterX on August 13, 2003, 10:17:32 AM
Pepsi is being such a fricking copycat these days. I dunno about you guys, but have you guys tried the new Pepsi Vanilla?? It's pretty nasty stuff..I'd rather drink my Vanilla Coke, but that's just my opinion. The only good pepsi products are the Mountain Dew products, and maybe Sierra Mist. But otherwise, if Coke and Pepsi battled, Coke would kick Pepsi's ass. What do you guys think about the Pepsi and Coke differences?

Your avatar is too big. It has to be 64 x 64 pixels. The mods are evil with stuff like that, they'll give you a nasty avatar if you don't be careful.

i said earlier today Vanilla Pepsi is nasty. I like pepsi better then coke, and i like Vanilla Coke better then regular Coke. I dont like mountain dew but i like Mountain Dew Code REd and Mountain Dew Live Wire. Lemon Coke and Lemon Pepsi are nasty when canned(they use artificial flavors and its nasty..i used to make my own lemon coke/pepsi way before they started producing them. And cherry sodas are all good. I don't like root beer but only because i cant stomach it(my stomach automaticlaly rejects it and it forces me to vomit...i dont know why maybe root bees level of fizziness is soemthing my stomach hates. All sprite and 7 up are good though 7up tasts a tad better. Sprite remix is great and so is dnL

I didn't go off topic, I just chose to ignore the main part and focus on another part. The part that must have been part of your sig, where you said something about your avatar.
As for the soda part, I've never had any Vanilla Pepsi so I can't comment. I like Vanilla Coke, but not something i want to guzzle down like I would Cherry Coke.

Vanilla Coke is just simply vile. I have no intention of trying Pepsi Vanilla, as I hate Pepsi more than Vanilla Coke, and I can't see it being any better than regular Pepsi.
Give me a good old Cherry Coke any day.

Geez, just when we Aussies get Vanilla Coke and Sprite Ice (they've been around for a while, mind you), 745049080945 new flavours pop outta the cola factories in the US. I hate Vanilla Coke. It just has a bad aftertaste. Sprite Ice is just a blast! It's fizzier when it's colder, and godDAMN it's nice. But i just can't go past the oldies. Coke, Fanta, Mountain Dew all rock the way they are. Pepsi, well, they try to hard to be cool. But then you just can't go past Britney's sexy pepsi music video

I adore all flavors of Mountain Dew. It's the best. Mello Yello ain't bad but I still prefer m'Dew. Oh and I didn't even know there WAS a Pepsi Vanilla until I read this forum. Like Pepsi Blue, I'm not gonna try it. I didn't like Vanilla Coke all that much. But I think that Coke is better than Pepsi. This has been Soda Analysis by Berny. Tune in next week when we analyze...The Pretzel.

Coke has more fizz, Pepsi has more sugar. Whatever your bag is, I suppose, unless you care about animal rights, assasinated Columbian workers, and soforth.
Nevertheless, I like pepsi better in a can, coke better in a 2L, Pepsi better from a fountain, I don't like either Vanilla product (actually I haven't tried v pepsi, but I assume ...), Pepsi Blue reminds me of Romulan ale, and I think it's good, I don't like either diet, and I like Barqs better than Mugs.
Nevertheless, I'm not buying coke products in any fashion.

actually keep in mind different localities each soda may taste different. Maybe in canada theres a tariff on the vanilla and they use some cheap crap(like pepsi is using by default ugh). Remember how i was disucssing the sugar situation here.

Do any of you guys remember Surge? That drink was frikkin loaded with sugar. But I loved it...too bad they had to stop making it..
Anyways, Pepsi Vanilla has a fake vanilla flavor to it. Vanilla Coke, on the other hand, has no bad aftertaste. But the REAL Vanilla Coke (put vanilla in Coke) is the best.

I'm a Coca-Cola man myself. Pepsi's ok, but I only have it once in a while.
Vanilla Coke is horrible. I keep being told its nice, and for some stupid reason I continue to try it.
But I'll stick to beer personally. My favourites are Coopers Pale (normal) and Hahn Premium (expensive). *drives topic offroad*

Same with me too Mario, but if I had the choice I will always pick Coca Cola because Pepsi leaves this weird film in my mouth after drinking, and has a more pronounced after taste too.
Title: RE: What is it with Pepsi lately??

Me too. I drink whatever. At McDonalds, the default drink is coke, so unless I'm really paying attention, i only get coke. At KFC, they ask if you want pepsi (the default), and since i'm a machine with a crappy daily routine, i just blab out a 'yeah' before i realise it cause i wanted a mountain dew or sunkist.
Damn. It happened again today. And I had a bloody free coupon too! Arrrgh........

Title: RE:What is it with Pepsi lately??
Post by: mouse_clicker on August 14, 2003, 08:10:38 AM
Wanna know the real reason Pepsi and Coke release so many new products? Shelf space. When Coke or Pepsi introduces a new product, some more shelf space is cleared for it. Not only does this mean MORE space for Coke or Pepsi, but LESS space for their competitor, and that translates into higher sales.
In terms of the soda war, though, Coke's WAAAAY out in front- most people don't even think it's possible Pepsi could catch up, despite it having huge sales as well.
Title: RE: What is it with Pepsi lately??
Post by: Grey Ninja on August 14, 2003, 08:39:49 AM
Coke and Pepsi usually have their own seperate coolers to keep the pop in. At least that's the way it works in Canada.

the bottled soda always comes in little freezers near the checkout lane, you can buy 6 packs or 12 packs or 24 packs in the soda aisle. I usually by a 6 pack. The second day of owning the 6 pack its gone :/ like today. Now I have to drink water.

I just said Pepsi Vanilla was okay, I didn't say that it beats Vanilla Coke. The best Vanilla Coke out there is the kind you order at a resturant that serves coke. Just ask them to add vanilla in your Coke and it tastes waay better than what they sell in stores. Almost like A&W Root Beer, they have resturants all around the U.S.A. ( very few left) and their Root Beer/Cream Soda is the best you'll ever try.

Yeah, me too. I might have already said this, but my favorite soft drinks are Sprite and Cream Soda. And to get an idea of how popular Coke is down here (Louisiana), when someone asks you if you want a drink, they say "Do you want a Coke?" regardless of what beverage they're referring to.

Coke and Pepsi always copy off each other. There was Cherry Coke than Wild Cherry Pepsi. Pepsi Twist then Coke with Lemon. I drink whatever is avilable but most of the time its the Cherry version of Pepsi or Coke. My favorte pop by far is Dr. Pepper, which is also the best selling individual drink, and is owned by some Cadbury Schweppes company. Even the new Cherry flavored Dr. Pepper they just launched is good.
As for not drinking Pepsi products, that would mean not eating at Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, or A&W, as they all of those companies. Which is why you find only Pepsi products. I noticed they fazed Dr. Pepper out of Taco Bell and replaced it with their own Cherry Pepsi, which I'm sorta indifferent on. But hey, it could of been worse.
Title: RE:What is it with Pepsi lately??
Post by: Hostile Creation on August 15, 2003, 07:30:22 PM
I think that Dr. Pepper is made by some division of Coke, though I'm not sure.

Jeez, I haven't seen an A&W for years! They have one of the very few root beers that I like...
Also, I think that it is easier to get Cream Soda in Britain than in the U.S. of .A! Although I usually use it to mix with other drinks if I get my hands on it.

A&W is primarilly a Canadian restaurant I think. I know that we have about 7 of them within a half hour drive of where I am right now. Hell, I used to work at one of them.
Bottled A&W Root Beer is distributed by Coca Cola.

i forgot all about Surge until someone mentioned it. i used to drink massive quantities of the stuff when i worked at Best Buy. It had a great Jell-O-esque fruitiness to it; way better than Mountain Dew (and i used to be a big Dew drinker).
i don't drink many Coke or Pepsi products outside of regular Coke, which i'm strangely addicted to. Their sugar to flavor ratio is way too high. i prefer stuff from health food stores, or locally-made drinks. After the Fall, Journey, and R.W. Knudsen tastes better than the stuff you get from vending machines.

Dr.Pepper is owned by Schweppes. I agree the lemon cola thing is kinda gross. Pepsi tried this a long time ago in the 70's with Pepsi Light. It was a diet cola with lemon drink but I don't think they had a non diet version. I think it must have been the very early 80's when it died out but I don't quite remember.

I've switched to drinking only diet sodas. I was going through a six-pack or more of soda a day. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't keep the weight off, and it was because I just wasn't paying attention. 6 sodas at 120 calories a piece is over 700 calories, and it hasn't done you any good.
Anyway, I used to avoid them because they all tasted like crap. But I've started finding some drinks that actually taste pretty good for diet. Diet Barq's Root Beer is excellent, as is Diet Cherry Coke, Minute Maid Light Lemonade, and a drink called Cascadia. The Diet Mountain Dews are very good too.
Unfortunately, for as much as I liked Vanilla Coke, the diet Vanilla tastes horrid. Absolutely vile.

Rick, if you like root beer, try IBC. It is probably the best diet soda I have tried. My dad is diabetic so he cannot have ANY sugar and he drinks this stuff constantly because it is so close to the real thing.

I don't drink quite a six-pack anymore, but I'm pretty skinny. I figure I might as well take advantage of my high metabolic rate while I still have it.

I do this same thing to my kids. They can have water, milk or limited juice. My 8 year old has soda on occasion but the two year old is just way too young. The 8 year old hasn't had a cavity yet.

Piac and mouseclicker, you guys are going to be in for a surprise when you hit your late 20's if you keep drinking that much soda. One of my best friends through high school was a guy who was very tall and skinny. He easily drank soda more than any other fluids and in his late 20's got fat. Not to mention his teeth started looking bad too. The sugar can be very addicting so you might want to start getting a grip on it now. Rick had mentioned problems with weight because of soda, and if you keep drinking it alot that will likely be your future. They are finding more and more health risks with even diet soda. Nutrasweet is sooo bad for you. Water is your friend! Also, since you mentioned juice Piac, most juices have corn syrup in them. It really makes me mad that they can say 100% juice but they mean partly from concentrate which has corn syrup. Try to get juice that is fresh and only made from fruit and some water. Okay, there is my mom lecture for the day.
Title: RE: What is it with Pepsi lately??
Post by: KnowsNothing on August 18, 2003, 06:05:40 AM
I really WANT to get off soda, but I can't. Good thing I'm nowhere near the age of most of you.
Yes, water is your friend. I drink a couple of large glasses of water before I go to bed each night, with lots of crushed ice in both. The bad thing is that I have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
Orange juice is great, and even better with crushed ice in it because after, the ice that's left has the orange juice flavor in it. Yum.
As for diet soda's, I hate diet Pepsi, and used to like diet coke. But diet Sprite is disgusting, although I don't like Spite that much to begin with.
I have to try putting regular vanilla in regular coke to see what it's like.
Cavity-wise, I've had many, but that's not entirely my fault. I have hypo-plastic teeth or something, which means alot of my molars have less enamel on them than regualr teeth, so i'm more prone to cavities. Not only that, but I think three or four of my teeth actually came in with cavities on them. My mom also had this so it's all her fault. Mean old witch....

Enamel hyperplasia, aka soft teeth. i have the same condition, although not a severe as some. i have more trouble with yellow teeth since i've been drinking tea and coffee since i was five or six. It's worsened because of the soft teeth condition. It's not utterly horrid, but as soon as i can i'll have them professionally whitened, so i can color them more by drinking more coffee.

I never drank too much soda during my childhood. I really like milk, and I tend to get water at restaurants. When my friends and I have a party, though, I generally drink all the soda I want.
I've had one, very small cavity, way back when. My teeth are generally very white, too.

Ms.Pikmin: It's not going to be a surprise at all. Like I said, I'm taking advantage of my metabolism while it's still high.
Also, it's not the sugar in sodas that's addicting, it's the caffiene. Caffiene is basically a MUCH less dangerous form of cocaine and heroin, in the sense that the work the exact same way and are all addictive. Caffiene, if consumed in massive amounts, can lead to heart disease, I believe. However, a typical 12 ounce can of soda generally has much less caffiene than a cup of coffee or especially tea. Caffiene can also help ward of Parkinson's Disease.
Anyway, something interesting most of you probably don't know- milk is actually bad for you after you've finished growing. The way the animal kingdom works, milk is given to adolescents who need the extra calcium to grow bones. However, once your bones have finished growing, the ingredients in milks that actually take away from bone mass start taking affect. That's why every animal on earth except for humans become lactose intolerant after they're through growing. Humans originally became lactose intolerant when they became older, but one group of humans had a genetic defect that allowed them to ingest milk their entire lives, and they're who most of us alive today are descendants of. Native Americans are lactose intolerant because they never inherited the defective gene that stopped tehm from becoming lactose intolerant.
Obviously, though, drinking milk after you're done growing can't be that bad for you considering many people have been drinking milk until the day they die and have lived long, healthy lives.

Hahahaha.....haha......ha..........
*drinks milk*
If it's any consolation for you guys, my 4 year old cousin already has gold fillings in her teeh cause she drank too much soft drinks and too many lollies. Likewise, back in 1996 when i went to the States to visit my mum's side of the family, my then two year old cousin's teeth were all black. If you could look hard enough, there would be little bits of white trying to be seen. They had stacks of cartons of soda in the kitchen.
And I hardly drink full cream milk anymore. Mum thinks its bad for ya, so she buys 'Farmer's Best', which isn't quite Full Cream. It has the taste, but like half the fat.
That's my 8 cents.

Coca-Cola got its name from the Coca extract that they put in it. At the time, Coca plants weren't known to be harmful, and they were using it as a pep-up, much like caffeine or sugar. In small quantities, Coca plants can be very therapeutic, but in refined form, it's a highly addictive drug.

I just had Pepsi Vanilla for the first time.
What are you guys talking about!? I like it! It has more vanilla in it than the coke version (at least it tastes it). It's not quite as good as Vinella Coke IMO, but close.
Sprite remix is horrid and Termin8's story was disgusting.
I drink 2% milk. personally, whole milk is disgusting. skim milk...I've never had it....but the name is a total turn off.
"skim" sounds like "skin" so when I was little I always picture skin on top of a glass of milk, almost like when you leave, like ,a bowl of soup out. the fat floats up and forms a skin over the liquid. eww.

When I was a in my teens I prefered Coke to Pepsi. Now that I am an adult, I prefer the taste of Pepsi.
I tried Pepsi Vanilla a week or two ago, and it was very disappointing. Vanilla Coke is much better.
I happen to love Pespi Twist. Coke currently has a Diet Coke with Lemon, which is horrible (it tastes kind of like how pencil shavings smell, if that makes any sense).
I don't know - I think Pepsi would win the "Cola Wars" if they were fighting strictly over regular cola. Coca-Cola would win overall for having the best tasting product line-up.

In terms of sales, though, Coca Cola is WAAAAY out in the lead, regardless of side products. Coke sales were slipping in the 80's and Coke introduced a new formula for their beverage (New Coke). People everywhere become outraged that Coca Cola would have the nerve of changing the age old formula to something is basically synonomous to American culture. Some even went as far as to say they wouldn't even be as mad if someone burned a flag in their yard. Psychologists listened to people calling in complaining about the new formula, and many of them discovered the callers ahd sounded like they had lost a dear family member. Coca Cola switched back to the original formula and sales skyrocketted. Ever since, Coke has been ahead of Pepsi.
And no, Coca Cola didn't invent New Coke and then switch back to the original just to boost sales- it was an honest marketing blunder that ended up restoring interest in Coca Cola.

That's for an entirely different reason, though- I chicken peck at roughly 100 words a minute (I'm not lying- I just got tested yesterday in school). When you chicken peck that fast, you often hit the wrong key, or accidently hit two keys, etc- I pick up most of the mistakes as I'm going along, but a few, like "weel", make it out under my radar.
Title: RE: What is it with Pepsi lately??
Post by: KnowsNothing on August 19, 2003, 01:22:37 PM
I don't chicken peck, but I don't do the "regualar" way they teach at school. I'am nowhere near 100 words a mintue, though. Using they correct way my record is like 55 or something. I type much faster using my way though. We should be allowed to look at the keyboards for cryin' out loud. THAT'S WHER THE KEYS ARE!!!!!
Title: RE:What is it with Pepsi lately??
Post by: Hostile Creation on August 19, 2003, 01:24:42 PM
I'm not sure how many words I do in a minute, but it's certainly enough to get by. And I don't type normally. I just let my hands do what they want to do, and it gets done.
I suppose I'm sort of a smart guy. . . mostly I'm just considered a weirdo, though
Title: RE:What is it with Pepsi lately??
Post by: mouse_clicker on August 19, 2003, 01:26:49 PM
I usually look at the keyboard (which is why a few mistakes make it out), but i've been chicken pecking so long I can actually type fairly well without looking at the keys.
Anyway, we should get this back on topic. I read a great article on How Stuff Works about How Caffiene Works. Really interesting stuff.
Title: RE: What is it with Pepsi lately??
Post by: KnowsNothing on August 19, 2003, 01:45:52 PM
I only read a bit of that. I didn't know caffine did that much!
But anything that mentions "quickening heart-reate" or especially "slowing-heart rate" get me queasy. If it happens to me I'm fine, it happens all the time to everybody, but when I think about it happening if feel faint. That's why I always go to the nurse in Health class.
One time in math class we measured or heart-rate standing and after running. I has to leave class the moment I started seeing stars. I am not squimish when it comes to looking at gross stuff. It's just thinking about heartrate and what affects it and how makes me queasy and/or faint.
Title: RE:What is it with Pepsi lately??
Post by: mouse_clicker on August 19, 2003, 01:49:35 PM
Like I said, a few years ago my resting heart rate was 120 beats per minute, which is running heart rate for most people. It's around 80 or 85 beats per minute now, but sometimes if I drink a couple Mountain Dews or something, I can feel my heart pounding in my chest. That usually makes me stop consuming anything caffeinated for a long time.
Title: RE: What is it with Pepsi lately??

If I ever found out my resting heart rate was that high I'd prolly faint. Hearing it over the net though is fine, thank god.

Post by: Grey Ninja on August 20, 2003, 07:07:18 AM
I type sort of in the regular way, and if I type as fast as I can, I can do around 60 or 70 wpm I believe. In casual times though, I think I can do about 40 wpm. I don't really need to look at the keyboard, but I often do anyways. It's not at all uncommon for me to be looking off the screen and doing something else while typing.
I have never really been a good typist, but I don't really need to be. Accuracy is the most important thing for a programmer.

Thanks, mouseclicker, for that How Stuff Works website. I've always wondered how stuff works.
I never knew that soda could make ur heart go faster....weird.
I type about 55-70 words a minute. I do occasionally look at my keyboard..but not like every second. I type the regular way, no chicken pecking (no offense, but people usually do that when they know nothing about a computer keyboard.)
Title: RE: What is it with Pepsi lately??
Post by: nitsu niflheim on August 20, 2003, 07:49:40 AM
I type the correct way if I am in the mood. But mostly I use the index finger and middle finger of both hands, to type and I can type smoothly just like that without looking at the keyboard, maybe 100 plus words per minute. But if I look I can probably double that. I can also type pretty fast with just one hand. Working in an accounting office I have gotten used to using an adding machine and keyboard at the same time.

Mouseclicker, yes caffeine is addicting, but so is sugar. Does everything have to turn into a debate with you?
One small note about Coke from way back when. My great-grandmother was totally addicted to it. She would have my father(when he was a little kid) walk to the corner store and get her a 6 pack every day. Poor old Granny didn't realize she was a drug addict.

That's one way to get people to buy your product, but controlled substances in them. Cocaine Cola. Coke wasn't the only soda pop, to have drugs in them, didn't 7-UP have lithium in it or at least it was in one of them.

What really annoyed me is that I actually got a D in my first year of university in an Engineering class, and my teacher was willing to write a letter to the Dean to keep me in the program, as he thought I was one of the smartest students he ever had.

Hey, it's the internet, you're *supposed* to argue with everyone.
Also, I have a question for you, Ms.Pikmin- do your kids like videogames? I'm paranoid that if I ever have kids they're not going to like videogames at all for some reason, and that would take away a really nice thing to have a common with your offspring. O_O
Gery Ninja: I don't think it was your reputation that kept you in the class, it was the fact that your teacher actually thought you were very smart. I can understand how having that reputation is annoying (believe me, I know), but reputations generally don't follow you to college.

Yeah, if I had kids I'd be afraid of that, too. But you can certainly influence how a child grows up by buying them Nintendo games and stuff like that. And I think video games will be a lot more wide spread later on, by the time kids are reasonable for me, if I decide to have some.

So what? You'll love them all the same if they were into video games or not, if they were smart or mentally disabled, jocks, preps; it doesn't matter. It's your child and you'd love it no matter what. Or else.

Post by: mouse_clicker on August 20, 2003, 12:57:11 PM
Of course, but one thing I DON'T want to happen is for me to be distant from my kids. I have a lot of friends who don't get along with their parents at all- they love their parents dearly, but they can't just have fun with them like they would a friend. My parents are great people, but I can't sit down and play a game with them. Having something that can bond children to parents, I think, will give them a much better child hood. It doesn't matter how my children turn out, I know I'll love them, but I'd want them to be good people, and being a jock or a prep does not represent that to me, and I want to be close to them, not just the guy who pays for their food and clothes.

Caffeine can also cause twitching, rambling thoughts, stuttering, osteoporosis (lack of bone density), irregularity of breath and heartbeat and diuresis (increased urine production which can lead to dehydration). i've suffered from all of the above due to insanely high caffeine consumption. It's a serious drug, especially considering it's not regulated in the US.

Like I said, caffiene is basically just a less dangerous form of cocaine (read the article I posted). When taken in moderation, it's not too bad for you, but when you're addicted and are drinking cups upon cups of coffee a day it really adds up.

Mouseclicker, my son does like video games(my daughter is only two). We play Smash Brothers and Godzilla together. He gets really into beating the cr@p out of me on Godzilla(he used to on SSBM but I'm better at it now ). Sometimes there are one player games that we play together because one of us is better at a certain part than the other. Mario Sunshine was pretty good to help each other with. Mainly with the obstacle courses. We would help each other through them. For some reason I have the worst time with depth perception on that game, so I would frequently miss when jumping for an important red coin. He was much better so I would get him to the point of jumping and then he would do it. Anyway, I'm sure at some point he's not going to think it's cool to play video games with his mom. Until then though, it's fun to play with him.

That's at least a little comfort. If I could play games with my mom, I wouldn't care how old I was. Heck, I'd invite my friends over to play, too. I wouldn't deprive myself or anyone of a great time with my parents just because of how other people will view me- I learned early on in 6th grade that when you start seriously caring about what other people think of you, you're going to have a miserable life. As long as you're happy with yourself, that's all that really matters.
While on the subject, a friend of mine's grandma is insane at SSBM. O_O I haven't personally played her, but my friend's a little better than I am and she beats him all the time.

But anyways, getting back to topic, have any of you see that new Vanilla Pepsi commercial. It's pure madness. It shows 2 loading trucks, Vanilla Coke's turns the music up in their vehicle. Vanilla Pepsi then presses a button which makes speakers come out of the back and blasts out music. The Vanilla Coke guy thinks it's cool. WTF.

When I am home (which never happens anymore, due to unrelated issues), I usually set up a LAN and play Master of Orion II, Descent, Alpha Centauri, or Starcraft with my Mom. She is decent at Master of Orion, but I can take her down quite easily. We are about evenly matched in Alpha Centauri, but I am much more cold-hearted, so I can usually come out with a win. Descent and Starcraft she isn't so good at, but she plays anyways because she thinks that the games are fun.
The games that really interest her are RPGs, but for some reason she has difficulty playing them because she gets lost and can't figure out the controls. That just strikes me as strange given that she can fly somewhat straight in Descent, but I have long since given up on teaching her to play right.
Most of the time, I will just have a friend over and play some GameCube games, or play some PC games online.

I have seen that commercial and I think it is with out a doubt the most stupid commercial I have seen in quite a while. The whole thing with the truck jumping is what turns me off. I think it's just stupid looking, even for a car, but for the truck to do it is just dumb. I think he says "I just lost" after the Pepsi truck drives off. Of course the Coke drive would think it's cool, it is a Pepsi commercial, they are trying to get you to buy their product.

I agree with mouse_clicker, because like I said before pepsi = Satan/Evil/Britney Spears.
I saw a truck yesterday and all this white smoke came out of the underneath of it really fast and cool-like. It was fun.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
You are wrong!!!!!!!!!! Pepsi rulez!!!!!!!!! YYYAYAYYAY!
I agree with you that both Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke are disgusting, but as I said, I find Papsi One much better than diet coke. And since technically it is a diet soda, it wins. Bleah!
