Kate & everyone-

You will be proud to hear that Dr. Joe, even as the announcer at Ford's Sweet Repeat, had Dew in hand.

Upon seeing that, I had to add some statistics our team made...thanks to our recent grad we call Tree for crunching the numbers (I'm assuming these are right, as well)...

'Assuming that on average (this includes parties) a normal Sie-H2O-Bot member would drink 6 cans of Dew a day...

This means that during the 6 weeks...

1 Sie-H2O-Bot member = 3,024 oz (252 cans or 47.5 2-liter bottles of Dew)

24 (the number I used for the team...this accounts for people who actually don't do the Dew) Sie-H2O-Bot members = 72,576 oz (6,048 cans or 1,141 2-Liter bottles of Dew)

...some more facts...
The team as a whole consumed
1,028,160 calories from Dew alone...thats
42,840 calories per peron in the 6 weeks...
1,020 calories per person per day in the 6 weeks...'

Now, I dont drink 6 cans of Dew a day, but I know some kids who do, so the number seems pretty safe.

Just sending out some useless information to brighten your day. ::grin::

I completety agree with you. Coke has a better taste and texture than the Dew. Although Dew is good, but Coke is my favorite. So you're not the only one.

P.S. Actually I like Coke just fine. In fact I like it enough that when I lived on Taiwan for a year, I actually routinely drank it without the benefit of refidgeration (i.e. luke warm). That's what I call desperate!

Ewwwww...thats just like my 'rents, who only buy the caffiene-free diet stuff (I still have yet to figure out why they buy it)...once I go to meetings, I'm glad to get my hands on any 'high-test' soda there, whether its Dew or Coke or whatever.

That's bad, but I think I have taken the cake. Luke-warm diet caffine free coke. That's right, it was one of the worst experiences of my life, but I was really thirsty......

Ok, I prefer the refrigerated kind, but I have to agree...it's all about the Diet Coke. I'm personally advocating that it become my team's official drink. :)

(And yes, I drink it because I actually *like* the fake sugary taste!)

I generally have to do that when I forget to put them in the refridgerator.....the value of Coke (particularly the caffeine) is greater than the pain of drinking one warm. My dad just thinks I'm crazy though....

Andy,
We have all the Coke here at FIRST. It's the only way most of us here survive Dean and Woodie's game design ideas. (Coke and lots of chocolate)
Hope all is well with everyone. Kick-off is only 84 days away. :O)

Does this mean that Coke is the official drink of FIRST.... Does this mean that all those Dew drinking people out there have to convert.....

Welllllllll.. Sure, some of the totally awesome FIRST staff people drink Coke...... BUT unless something's changed recently, there's Dew in the vending machine in the basement of FIRST where Tammy and Mark and Eric and Frank and everyone resides.....


Only 4 more days of classes until end of term.. Yeah, I'm pretty stressed.. Back to homework for me now.. Bye byes!!

In Reply to: but the vending machine..... posted by Kate on 10/15/2000 8:22 PM MST:



Given that the vending machines apparently sell Dew, we must therefore conclude that when referring to Coke, FIRST definately means Pepsi. Well, it's not FIRST's fault that they must have Dew in the basement because of course Pepsi sitcks the Dew onto those vending machines too (will someone tell me why they never have Cherry Pepsi there?). Therefore we can conclude that while FIRST definately supports Cola products, it's the evil Pepsi (oddly enough.....) that forces them to have Dew in their midst....

No No No. We are lucky here at FIRST. Since we own this machine outright we can stock it with almost anything we want. Very wide range of drinks in our machine, and it's only 35 cents.
Down side we have to stock it ourselves. Coke, Mt. Dew Sprite, Pepsi etc. We've got it all.
Caffiene and Chocolate. What else did you think FIRST Staff lived on?
