@310843B I'll give it a try, when I have finished my 'diet' - I am almost down to 400 kals per day, want to regain my youthful weight, feel a lot better already - and dieting is easy too, once you get accustomed to smaller (and fewer) portions of food. I never buy Coca Cola, but will give this a try - am curious now. My Mum used to marinate the deer meat for a number of days too, but not in coke, but in a similarly strong concoction. thanks! Taurisk
