What a difference a few decades makes...

I am sure this ad for men's underwear had a much different connotation in the '60's than it does today with two men wresting in their underwear surrounded by such quotes as "Stretchy Seat", "Let's Get Down To Business" and "Men find it so comfortable, they keep coming back for more."

2O WORST DRINKS IN AMERICA

There is a very interesting article over at Men's Health where they list the "20 Worst Drinks in America" and pair the drink with a picture of its junk food equivalent and list a healthier alternative.

Several of the drinks are shakes, coffee/hot chocolate drinks with cream or whipped topping, two energy drinks and two alcoholic beverages - all of which I would categorize as indulgence items that you consume for the taste and you know they are not healthy.  


There were a few surprises though, such as the bottle of Tropicana Twister being the "Worst Kid's Drink" and the equivalent of 2 cans of Reddi-Whip.  To quote the article it is  "10 percent juice and 90 percent sugar laced with a glut of artificial flavors and coloring. You could actually save 200 calories by choosing a can of Pepsi instead."  


Another was the "Worst Juice Imposter",  Arizona Strawberry Kiwi being the equivalent to 7 bowls of Fruit Loops and the article state it is "a can the size of a bazooka loaded with enough of the sweet stuff to blast your belly with 42 sugar cubes."

Here is a link to the full article over at  Men's Health.  Each description is about a paragraph long and it is well laid out and easy to read.   It give you food for thought in considering future purchases.
