Back in the mid 70’s I worked at a 24 hour convenience store, we sold Upper Ten and it was maufactured by RC (Royal Crown Cola) – I hardly ever drink a carbonated beverage now unless I get it at the health food store and it’s sweetened with cane sugar instead of the dreaded HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup). If you GOOGLE "dangers of high fructose corn syrup" and see how it’s made and what it does to your red and white blood cells you’ll start reading your ingredient labels on everything more carefully………..[xx(]
