so…this post by Mikey got me thinking about two food-related things that have been floating around in my head for a bit:

1. “Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper” Dr. Pepper is black cherry soda, so isn’t the “Cherry” in “Cherry Vanilla” redundant? Wouldn’t it just be “Diet Vanilla Dr. Pepper?” Maybe “Diet Vanilla Dr. Pepper, now with more cherry!”

2. “Natural Flavor with other natural flavors” I see this everyday on my Zone bars. If I’m eating a Chocolate Almond Raisin bar, is the chocolate the first natural flavor, and the almond and raisin the “other natural flavors?” Or, will I be pleasantly (or unpleasantly) surprised to find new and unexpected natural flavors hidden in there, like caramel, vanilla, cherry, or pork tenderloin?
