What's inside - Naked: Orange Mango Motion

So, my favorite drink are those Naked, 100% juice smoothies. My favorite flavor that they have to offer is Orange Mango Motion, and on the back they list all the stuff that's inside of it, and frankly I have no idea what any of it means. So after some research here's what I found out -

*Guarana (380 mg) - Probably nothing big, though reports have been tested, and have concluded that this stuff can help you loose weight. However, I highly doubt there's enough in here to help at all. On a not so good note - There is apparently a little bit of caffeine in it too.
*Riboflavin (3 mg) - A type of Vitamin B, and, when in the bloodstream, will help other B vitamins be more efficient. Is pretty healthy, and doesn't seem to have any downsides.
*Cyanocobalamin (3.5 mg) - Can be pretty important for the brain and nervous system, not to mention the formation of blood. However, there are some downsides to this... some major ones: It apparently can cause irreversible damage to the things it's supposed to help: The brain and nervous system, the latter being the most dangerous. Some of the things this can do to you - can cause itching, rashes, diarrhea, and more. Though I wouldn't worry about all this: Because it ultimately only happens to people who take to much, and there's not to much in Naked!
*Niacin (38 mg) - The recommended amount of Niacin each day is 2-12 for children, 14 for grown women, 16 for grown men, and 18 for pregnant women. I don't really know how much is too much, though 38 seems like quite a bit!

Fruits in Orange Mango Motion
*1 1/2 Oranges
*1 1/2 Apples
*1/2 Mango
*"and a hint of Banana"

That was fun!

Coca-Cola to replace Pepsi in an exclusive deal



Coca-Cola will aparently take over exclusive rights to sell pop and water at 10 racetracks. The deal was previously with Pepsi, and will be so until 2012, when Coke will take over the deal with International Speedway.

It should also be noted that this is a 10 year deal.
