Simply called Pepsi Special, the caffeinated soft drink has the added ingredient dextrin, a natural water-soluble dietary fiber derived from potatoes. Japanese commercials touting the products effectiveness for weight loss even go as far as to ask, Why choose between a hamburger and a slice of pizza? If you choose Pepsi Special, you can have both! But does it work? Pepsi claims that dextrin slows the absorption of fat in the body by binding with it and eliminating it as waste, not reserving it as empty calories.

Sounds like the perfect balanced meal to me.

More artificial chemicals introduced into our body, this time to allow us to continue overeating without paying the price for it. Great!

I wish they would bring back cyclamate. I mean, what's a little cancer among friends...
I know. The good old days make me feel all saccharine, too.
I just discovered that they're still selling that stuff in the UK apparently. Someone needs to poke them with a stick over there...
