The Best Pot Roast....EVER!

I live in a small town.  Like really small.  
But I LOVE it!
There are so many reasons why I love it...
I could list them all for you,
but I won't.
But I am going to give you one of my favorite reasons.
My local grocery store.
Its called Barretts.
I LOVE that they know me...
We were looking to make a Roast for Sunday Dinner, 
 We were standing at the meat counter, trying to decided what to get. 
Dave, the best meat counter guy, told us about this recipe. 
And it is 
SO GOOD, SO EASY, and SO TENDER!!
You'll need:
McCormicks slower cooker Savory Pot Roast season packet
An Au Jus packet
A Can of Pepsi (we use Coke because we always have coke in our house)
And Boneless Cross Rib Roast
and your crock pot

   Put your Roast in the crock pot. 
Mix the Slow cooker seasoning with 1 cup of Water.
Pour on top of roast.
      Add the whole can of Coke.
Cover with your lid for 8 Low or 4 hours on high.
Its VERY important that you never lift the lid!

Right before you are ready to pull it out, 
sprinkle your dry Au Jus packet over the roast.





Ahh.....
Pull it out and slice it up!
I promise you it is the most tender Roast EVER!!

ENJOY!!

I think I know Dave, and who gave him this recipe! If you want to change things up a little you can add a little fajita marinade to it. It gives the roast a nice little kick and the meat is Great on sandwiches the next day!

Found this post on pinterest and can't wait to try it!

Can you use diet coke instead?

Anonymous said...

I make a sweet barbacoa pork using coke zero so that or diet coke would probably work.

Anonymous said...

This is in my crockpot now!!! However I accidental grabbed the slower cooker BBQ packet...hope it turns out just a good!!

what is a Bonless Cross Rib Roast. Never seen anything like that at my butcher shop. Can I just use a beef roast?u

Julie Gouge said...

I am using this recipe today! I couldn't find that type of roast, so I got another. It's a little thicker, so I hope it works!

Anonymous said...

This may be a stupid question, but what size crock pot do you use? Going to make this tomorrow :)

Anonymous said...

i just put this in my crockpot but my hubby drinks pepsi so thats what i used. cant wait for dinner! :)

Anonymous said...

made this last night. not the most tender. I cooked mine on the 4hr, high setting. I would definitely recommend cooking it on low for 8hr. Mine was a little tough.

BeeDreams said...

No, you cannot use diet coke.

Jules F. said...

I also bought the BBQ packet instead. They didn't have the Savory Pot Roast. And also, Cross Rib Roast is also called Shoulder Rib or Shoulder Roast. :) I'm about to put this in my crockpot for dinner!! CANNOT WAIT!

Anonymous said...

Just made this today and it was delicious. Best to cook it slow for 8 hours.

Anonymous said...

Just made this and Delicious!! Added onions chunks at the beginning and added mushrooms at the end of 8 hrs and let them cook a little.

Anonymous said...

Believe it or not, I don't have a slow cooker. Can this be made in the oven???

Anonymous said...

I just put this in the crockpot! I forgot to buy the au jus, though. Is it going to make a huge difference?

Diana said...

I've got this in the crock pot now.. will be pulling it out in 30 mins! i also had a hard time finding boneless cross rib roast, the butcher said shoulder roast would do... in a 5 quart slow cooker.

bobzero said...

After reading this receipe i am gonna be hungry all day! If you have no crockpot simply brown the meat on all sides and transfer roast to the pre-heated 200 to 235 degrees till internal temp of 150-160° for medium.

Anonymous said...

I just made this the other night and it was crazy good. I did tweak it just a tad thought, instead of au ju because I couldn't find it (surprisingly) I used brown gravy and it was so yummy. Plus I added some carrots and onion too. I did it on the 4 hour option and if it was crazy good on just four hours then I know the low and slow on 8 hours would knock my socks off!

Anonymous said...

I'm excited about trying it. I put coke zero in mine instead, then I am also cooking it on low bc of what everyone said about it not being tender enough on high. I can't wait.

We just had this for lunch today and it was delicious!!

How many pounds should it be i do not see it on the recipe?

Anonymous said...

In the recipe you mention Au Jus but you don't mention how to use it in the recipe do I assume the 1 cup of water is for both the savory mix and the au jus?

Meghan said...

To the last comment...towards the end of the recipe it states to sprinkle the dry Au Jus on top of the roast a few minutes before pulling it out of the crock.

Making this tonight for dinner. I decided to go ahead and use root beer instead and throwing in some small red potatoes and carrots. Can't wait to taste it!!!

TamaraNW said...

This might just taste pretty darned good (the final product picture certainly LOOKS good). But I look at the 3 added ingredients, and wonder why one would turn a perfectly good cut of beef into a chemical lab creation. Just sayin'.

I just threw mine in to cook overnight. I used chuck roast - it was on mark down (cook by today) but since I was coming home to cook it, I didn't care! :) I also doubled recipe for leftvovers.........will have two meals waiting for me! I'll take out the meat in the AM and then cook the veggies in the broth during the day. Summer yummy!

Missie4971 said...

I just put mine in and on the 4 hour hope it turns out yummy wondering y it says do not lift lid lol

katielayne said...

anyone ever made gravy from what's left in the crockpot? I wondered how it would taste if I thickened it up with some cornstarch. Or should I just make some brown gravy to go with our mashed potatoes? Making it today, can't wait!!!!
Thanks!!!

Anonymous said...

Made this tonight! So tasty however few things were different. Used a can of cherry coke instead of regular, added potatoes, carrots & some onion & didn't use the au jus packet... cooked on low for about 9 hrs. Melt in your mouth yummy. My house loved it! My man had 3 helpings! Thank you so much for sharing!

Anonymous said...

Made this today for dinner. It was very good!!! The only thing that I would do different is put the Au Jus sauce in the crock pot while it is cooking or not at all. When I put it on right before I took it out and ate it. It was too salty. My husband loved it besides that!! Will definitely make it again. Oh I also cooked it for 8 hours. Very tender!!

Anonymous said...

Made this for dinner tonight and it was wonderful, however next time I make I am going to skip the au jus at the end.

Anonymous said...

A nice Chuck Roast cut of meat would work just as good, I'm sure. I have this in my crockpot right now. I did add carrots and onions to mine also and I plan on making my homemade gravy too. Dinner cant get here fast enough!

Do you have an option somewhere that you can just print the recipe, like minus all the pictures and everything? I just don't want to print out 7 pages and most of it is pictures where I can just print out one page.

Donna said...

Flavor is good, but it is VERY VERY salty. Don't know that I would make it again.

Making this tonite, can't wait to try it! I also added onions and garlic in mine.

Anonymous said...

You are using RIB ROAST. As in PRIME RIB. Why would anyone put a prime rib in a crock pot? Of course it is good, it is PRIME RIB. The reason for using a crock pot is to make a cheaper cut of meat more tender. Some sea salt, cracked pepper, a little rosemary if you wish, is all you need for a prime rib to be fabulous. Just throw it in the oven with an oven thermometer. No all day cooking! Nonetheless, I am going to try this with a top round. I know that you need soda that is not diet for the sugar content. I would guess that Coke or Pepsi or Dr. Pepper (if you like that cherry flavor) would all work fine. Diet soda will not serve the purpose in this recipe since it has no sugar content.

TammyW said...

I made this for dinner and the family gave it two thumbs up. I did add carrots & chunks of onion. I used a sirloin roast and it was fall apart tender. This is the best pot roast I have ever made and will be the only recipe I use from now on. Thanks for sharing!

Anonymous said...

@anonymous..a cross rib roast is not a "prime" standing rib roast. It is from the shoulder and goes down into the ribs. It is a much tougher cut of meat. Also, Prime refers to a grade of meat not a cut. But, most people call a standing rib roast a Prime Rib roast.

Anonymous said...

I made this last night and it turned out delish. I used a pot roast, added potatoes, carrots, celery and onions.. Cooked over 8 hours. I didnt use the whole au jus packet because I read in previous comments theirs was too salty. Also I didn't wait to add the au jus at the end, I put it in with everything else.

Anonymous said...

I forgot to say in my previous comment that I used cornstarch to thicken it up.

Unknown said...

I heard it was the cabonation that made it work and not the sugar. and also beer would work.

TypeALady said...

Everything is simmering in the crockpot as I type! Totally excited to eat this in a few hours.

Unknown said...

I made this 2 weeks ago for Sunday dinner. I really is the best roast I have ever made! My husband and kids loved it (the fact that my kids loved it should attest to how good it is as my children HATE roast). It is now a regular Sunday meal. It wasn't even close to being too salty, it was just perfect!! <3

Linda said...

To those who are asking about the cut of meat, you can vary recipes like this according to what you're able to find in the store at the time, prices, etc. For instance, instead of an actual roast, I often get a different cut (that's both thinner and able to be purchased on sale for a good price), because I need it to cook more quickly and because I like a little less meat in mine and more other stuff - mushrooms, carrots, whatever. The beauty of a crockpot - use a recipe like this and tweak to fit your own budget and tastes! You might find that a slight tweak works even better for you, so be creative. :-)

I used a can of cream of mushroom soup instead of au jus about an half hour before it was done. Made a yummy creamy sauce. Real tender when i used low setting for 8 hrs

I am so glad I came across your blog and found this recipe! We have been cooking more with our crock pot and pot roast is one of our favorites.
Can't wait to try this one!

Destiny said...

I made this tonight and it was incredible! Literally the best pot roast I've ever had. I used a beef sirloin roast, the coke and the savory mix. I let it cook for 8 hours and it was heaven in my mouth. I never added the Au Jus sauce because it didn't need it.

Melissa said...

I seared the roast and added carmelized onions. It was a big hit. Thanks for sharing.

I love this recipe! It is my go-to recipe for roast ever since I found it. This time, though, I forgot to pick up the seasoning packet but I figured out I don't even need it! I have most the spices on hand and it was nice to have a little more control over the amount I put in. I usually add carrots, potatoes, some onions, and even a little celery occasionally. So delicious! My bf isn't a huge roast fan and he just scarfs this up, even the leftovers (which he also usually hates lol). Thank you so much for sharing!

Heather Fletcher said...

I made this tonight for dinner. I added the Au Jus into the water instead of sprinkling it on top.

It was good! The Coke made the meat so tender that it fell apart. I'll be keeping this recipe.

My Family did not like it, and never wants me to make it again. So sorry but must tell the truth. Thanks for sharing though.

I make a beef roast with au jus packet, beef broth, and random other seasonings - garlic, worcestershire sauce splashed in... and it is SOOO good. I'm not sure if I would make it with the cola though.

I have used pork steaks too. Just as good an tender. An they r cheaper. Just gotta experiment. I used Lipton soup mix tho. No coke.

I have this in my crock pot now and it smells amazing! My only concern is that the liquid doesn't cover the roast. Is that going to matter? Generally when I do a roast, my liquid always covers the roast completely so just wondering if it will cook completely when not covered by the liquid?

We love this recipe. I've tried it with the Au Jus and without it and my family prefers it without. Thanks for sharing. This is our weekly wednesday night recipe.

I made this for tonight for dinner. .all I can say is Yummy. ..best roast I ever msde..I used a sirloin tip roast and used just half the ajus pack on top...it was sooo tender

Anonymous said...

I have this in the crock pot now. After reading the comments I added potatoes, carrots, onions and mushrooms. I went ahead and sprinkled the au jus pkt over the meat and then poured 12 oz of Coke over it. I never have Coke in the house but I had my husband bring one from work. For those wondering about colas and meat, they are a good addition. I have made Root Beer Pulled Pork several times. I have also used cola and onion soup mix on pork chops in the oven.

Quick question I opened the pot for like a second, wondering if I just messed up my roast..

Could you use a rump roast for this?

I used Budweiser instead of coke.

I'm really sorry to say that, but only Americans can have am idea to prepare meet with Coke full of High Fructose Corn Syrup. If it's zero , it doesn't matter, all the sugar, splenda, trivia, stevia makes the whole meal unreadable for you stomach you could also put chips into the coke and after "marinating" it - eat it! Yummy! And oh... I wonder why you guys are the nation with the highest percentage of diabetes in the world, oncology clinic on every corner and New Year's Resolution as a national promise to yourself and others, never lasting long enough to refuse a single can of soda on January 1st. I know you are all taught to be tollerant, but the funniest thing is those who expect tollerance, they are not even happy with themselve. Otherwise, what are all these New Year's Resoutions for?

i agree with those who said... really? take a good piece of meat and add a bunch of total crap to it... and then using diet coke is just as bad. and adding a can of cream soup... really... we need to get out of the 1950's... we know better now, or we should.

Why bother commenting? I love rude foreigners who judge Americans based on our food choices. Guess what? I'm not obese, don't have diabetes and am in perfect health and I'm making this for dinner tonight! Oh, and I added caramelized onions that I cooked in lots of butter and sugar. Here's a tip, if you want to poke fun and judge us, try doing it with proper spelling and grammar next time.

You did not ruin your dinner, by opening the crockpot, it just slows down the cooking. We have used coke (diet coke usually---I was told it is the acidity in it, not the sugar---no idea really tho!). I mix my au jus, coke and a can of soup---usually cream of mushroom- add my roast and some onions to it. Cook for 4 hours or so, open it, add potatoes, and carrots, close up and cook another 4 hours or so. Remove all the meat and veggies, pour the remaining juices into a saucepan, bring to a boil and thicken with cornstarch, cook for a couple of minutes, and serve with the gravy poured back over it. It is delicious!

Unknown said...

Cooking this for the first time as I write this :) Excited! Despite the negative comments on here ;) I was wondering about an earlier question though, that I think got lost in the hate notes, about the liquid not fully covering the roast... is this ok? Please? If anyone knows? It's still early so I can fix it if it needs to be fixed :)

Trixie said...

It is fine, Roxanne. That's why you leave the lid on, so it cooks even if it's not swimming in liquid. The closed crock pot creates a self-basting atmosphere. Trust the recipe.

The foreigner is wrong. I learned to cook meat with soda from...the Chinese! I work with international students at a local college and it seems the country's favorite dish isn't fried rice, dumplings, or sweet and sour pork--it's coca cola chicken! I was shocked at first, but once I tried it, I knew these guys understood good food! I've had about 20 different Chinese students from different parts of the country...at different times even, share their coke chicken recipe and not a single one of them weighed over 100 lbs soaking wet. Everything in moderation!

I'm excited to try this recipe. I never drink coke but plan on buying one. Using coke in a recipe isn't going to kill me. Blogs are supposed to be fun, friendly and pleasant.

Made this tonight & it was SO good!!! The meat was very tender & not too salty, AFAIC. I mixed a can of cream of mushroom soup with about a can full of the broth from the meat & it was the best gravy ever! I will definitely be adding this to our monthly meal rotation! Thank you for sharing!!!

Forgot to mention, as others have done, I just mixed the Au Jus in with the water & pot roast seasoning. My roast was about 4 lbs. & cooked perfectly in 8 hrs.

To the American hater A-hole: Really?
One can of coke divided among 6 or 8 people eating a roast? Oh no!!!! That surely will cause instant diabetes!!!
And your body doesn't know the difference between high fructose corn syrup or sugar. If you don't want to eat this, then don't waste your time worrying about everyone else and being a judgmental douche.

Homecookin said...

The "cross rib" roast is merely cut from the Chuck section of the beef, which is the shoulder and neck area. These cuts tend to be tough unless marinated and/or braised. These are made for the crock pot, but like others said, it is best to use low heat for 8 hours.

Some folks think this is just another name for rib roast, but I assure you it has nothing to do with a juicy tender rib roast.

I have this in the crockpot as we speak! SUPER excited! I am american, and don't have diabetes and am not overweight. Yeahhhg.... I'm marinating my roast in COKE and CHEMICALS, and ill probably eat a larger portion than I should, because I can;) Suck it, Damn foreiners!

I don't typically leave comments but I made this for my family last night and it was amazing! I've made a lot of disappointing pot roasts in my time but tried this recipe BECAUSE of the coke which I knew would break down and tenderize the meat. Threw in a few bay leaves, baby carrots and onions as well. The end result had the most rich amazing flavor and so tender. My only recommendation is to cook for 9-10 hours (not 8 as stated).

Anonymous said...

Great Post! I have actually been using the McCormick's brand Pot Roast for years for making both pot roast and stew and its FABULOUS! I have never tried it with the Pepsi and Au Jus but will next time!
For those of you asking about cooking it without a crockpot, I cook this in either the crockpot or on top of the stove. I brown the meat quickly on all sides, add the liquid and some carrots and onions, cover and simmer for a couple hours (until almost tender). Add potatoes and cook until potatoes and meat are tender (I also add corn and barley at this point if making stew) (I sometimes cook the potatoes in a separate pan with some of the same seasoning mix to make sure that I don't accidentally overcook the meat).
As far as type of meat, I always use Chuck steak for both pot roast and stew.
YUM!

Me again ^my post^ Forgot to mention that I use 2-3 packages of pot roast mix depending on size of container and amount of liquid I'm using...makes it thick enough to use as a gravy.

Not sure what I did wrong but my roast was not all that tender! I used a 2.5 lb sirloin rib roast. It was very thick. I did 2 hr. on HIGH and then 4 hrs on low. It seemed to be overcooked. The taste was fine, but a bit on the tough side.

Kevin said...

I have a question: How long before taking this out of the crock pot are you supposed to add the Au Jus packet? 30 minutes? 5 minutes?

In reply to "cnr"... Sirloin roast is way too lean to use in a slow cooker recipe. You need something with a lot of connective tissue for a recipe like this.

Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...

I always use beer, on my roasts. Delicious. I'm going to try this recipe.

Anonymous said...

The beauty of a slow cooker is that you cook low & slow. This helps to break down the tough connective tissue on cheaper cuts of meat & also infuses the meat with it's own (and added) juices...that's when things get so yummy! Keep this in mind when considering switching up a recipe to cook stovetop or oven instead of using a slow cooker. Also best to cook most of the slow cooker beef roast & pork roast recipes for the longer, lower heat option to get that whole low & slow magic going. Having said that, I Cook most of the chicken recipes at the quicker time. Especially if using breasts which will tend to dry out & fall apart, and not in a tasty way, when cooked too long no matter the recipe.

Anyone had this sit overnight marinating in the fridge first? Does it ruin the effects of the coke?

I cooked mine on high for 2 hours and then turned it down on low for an additional 4 hour so 6 hours total. It was AMAZING!!!!

Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
Is it very difficult to set up your own blog?

This is our favorite meal! I love cooking beef in coke! Not a frequent coke drinker but once in a while is totally cool! If there are any leftovers;usually not much! But you can put the shredded beef on tasty crustini's, sauted onions and mushrooms, melt cheese on top, and drizzle over tops with basalmic vinegar! Amazing!!

This is my first time trying this recipe. My house smells incredible. I've made pork shoulder in the crockpot with a can of coke and it turned out delicious.

I used an oval shaped crockpot and put carrots and potatoes on the bottom. I cooked on low for 10 hours. I added the au jus at the 9 hour mark.

The meat is so tender that its falling apart. My 10 year old son asked for a second plate. Will definitely be making this again!

one does not have to own a crock pot to make this recipe, you can cook it in the oven and cover it in tin foil. you can also use diet coke as the author stated. i have also cooked this on the stove on medium heat for eight hours and mmmmmmm was it wonderful :) if you decide to attempt to cook this frozen, be advised you cook time will be longer but just as tasty :)

Cover the roast? You're just boiling the meats. In a crockpot you generally need very little liquid. A cup of water and can of soda is waaaay more than enough.

This is the best pot roast ever! It just went into my crock pot for the third time since I have pinned this recipe. My family loves it and so do I. So easy and great comfort food when you add mashed potatoes. Thanks for sharing!

Can you make this with pork? what pork would you suggest my hubby is allergic to Beef.

Anonymous said...

My husband and I have made this is many times and it is always delicious! Making it again today for about the 10th time...we don;t make a roast any other way now!

LMAO!!!

This is a second time I made it but instead with beef with pork and it's amazing, I tell you is my second time, so if you have allergy to the prices of a good cut of beef for sure you can use pork!!! Thank You for this recipe������

I made this yesterday and added potatoes, celery, carrots, & onions. The veggies were very flavorful, but the meat was VERY bland. I was disappointed in how bland the meat was. I don't see where others marinated the meat, but I'm wondering if that would help and how long I would need to marinate to add flavor.

While looking for dinner ideas, my husband and I came across this one and it looks delish. I like to read the comments to see if I need to adjust the recipe. I started reading these out loud to my husband, and we both have tears running down our faces. Not only will we try this recipe, but we plan on having a weekly blog reading fest. Thanks for all the laughs!

You can put it in a heavy pot, bring it up to boiling, then turn the flame or electric element to 1. You will still have to leave it on for a really long time, no less than 6 hours with the kid on, but it won't be the same. Or you can get a slow cooker from Wal-Mart for about $15. You will find ways to use it, do I would go for the latter option.

Can I use diet coke? Can't have sugar. I image the acid in the coke breaks down the meat

I made this the other day. It was okay but not as flavorful as I expected. Probably would not make again.

A CROSS rib roast (which is what they specify to use in the recipe) is a different cut than a rib roast. Cross rib roast is basically the same thing as a chuck roast.

Anonymous said...

I use the same seasoning pack and 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup. I put it all in when I put the roast in. It makes it's own perfect gravy! So easy and delicious! I use chuck roast.

I live in the Netherlands and I ordered a crock pot online which will arrive tomorrow. (ooohh, a foregner that doesn't care about sugar and chemicals in her food :-P) In my country, crock pots are kind of unknown, and stores don't sell the seasoning packages for them. I read somewhere in these comments that a fajita seasoning mix works, too.. should I try that? Or maybe just a mix for simple beef pot roast?

"Anonymous said...

You are using RIB ROAST. As in PRIME RIB. Why would anyone put a prime rib in a crock pot? Of course it is good, it is PRIME RIB. "

Negative, Anonymous. A Cross Rib Roast is a bone-in shoulder cut. The same cut without the bone is called a Clod Roast. Less fat than a chuck, although a chuck would be great in this recipe.

I made this roast on an 8-hour setting. I forgot that my (Rival oval) slow cooker runs hot (not unusual for this model according to Amazon reviews). I should have checked on it at 6 hours. Because of this, the roast was a bit dry but still, it was delicious!

Good call on this recipe!

Can u put veggies in with the roast

Anonymous said...

I have it in the crock pot now and I added potatoes, carrots and onion. I read that a lot of people did the same.

Unknown said...

Hi I have been drooling over this reciepe and i have a question. You had mentioned to yse a fajita mix to kick it up. Is that in place of the slow cooker mix or with it or in place of the au ju mix?? I dont want to mess it up. Thanks and looking forward to your resonse

Really?

Whoever replied about another woman's opinion as being bitchy , do you not have anything else to do besides calling people out of their names? P.s. a good day in church is recommended.

I pair it with mashed potatoes and it's heavenly. Thank you for sharing!

Unknown said...

The slower you cook the meat (i.e., lower temp for longer time), the more the muscle will break down (read "be more tender"). Always, always, always do so. I'm not Alton Brown, but just sayin'! �� Not necessarily for this recipe, but double wrapping a dry seasoned roast in foil (so the juices stay next to the meat and do not run out to hit the sides of the hot crockpot to burn off) and cooking on low temp for 8 to 10 hrs (depending on size will also produce a tender meal.

hi
lipton oinion soup mix
beef gravy soup mix
two tablespoons of dry onion pieses
two tablespoons of garlic powder
cola can
salt and pepper
over night
DONE
BRAVO

I've made this for the family a long time now but a friend makes it with Sierra Mist and it was the best! I have tweaked with using Sierra Mist Cranberry and that was great as well.

Unknown said...

Always go for 8 hrs or till it falls apart...on low. Low and slow never fails

Mel said...

I've made this roast several times and it's always a hit. Adding the Au Jus packet at the end really makes a difference! I add baby carrots and chopped celery under the meat. I also use a basic chuck roast. Perfect every single time. Adding some potatoes to it this time.

Unknown said...

I didnt have any pepsi or coke on hand so i what i had in my fridge which was apple cider. it come out delicious so especially as a hearty early fall dinner.

Anonymous said...

The seasoning packet has plenty of salt already. Not everything needs pepper though, I can only think of a few American recipes that call for pepper, actually.

Sorry if I missed this in the comments, but have you tried this in an Instant Pot? I had this in a slow cooker and it was amazing, but I just got an IP and would be so excited for suggestions for that! Thank you!

Thank everyone for the comments, good or bad, it's your comment and opinion so leave one. It helps to align your taste with the recipe. Bloggers put themselves out there, and you are allowed to be honest, but not hateful, in your comments. :)

No I use pkg of brown gravy if I can't find it

What a great idea. Actualy I do not like diet sodas, it's not as delicious as the regular type.
But from this article http://bit.ly/cokeandpepsieffect maybe I should start trying to drink and like the kind of sugar zero. Especially after getting this recipe from your article. THX!
