I think that is only the US variantof Sunkist but I'm not totally sure. Much like Canadian Mountain Dew is caffeine free because it is a 'clear' beverage.

Yep. I know how it is with Sunkist pop. Oh man...horror story with that one.

At EFY this past summer in Idaho, we were having a huge slumber party with pizza and pop. Now, my ABSOLUTE favourite pop ever is orange pop. Because it is sooooo good! And they had some, so I drank it! A weird feeling came over me and I checked the label and it had caffeine. I was sooooooooooo mad!!! Sooooo sad too!!! I've always made sure not to drink Pepsi, or Coke, or iced tea or ANYTHING that you posted earlier in that list. Agk. I was so upset. I even, like, ran to my room and cried and cried and prayed for forgiveness. I was so sad.

ya ya, I know it was a mistake and I didn't do it on purpose, so I know the Lord forgave me, but still!!

Oh man. Never again. Nope. Never.

Yes I did!!! I feel very strongly about it! So what??

Is there something wrong with asking for forgiveness? I think not. I believe that the Lord is accepting to a humble heart.

It's just not something that I wanted to do, so I felt I needed to repent. It's a personal decision. Of course not everybody would do it.
