PEPSI on board?

I have also found Sprite and Diet Sprite in my fridge.

 

Sailors watching their caloric intake here is a FYI: most American soft drinks have zero calories. However, depending on where your Yacht is provisioned, your "diet soda" may in fact be a "low calorie soda" especially if provisioned in Europe and possibly other places. Even if your cruise starts in an American port, there may be leftover stock from prior voayages. When in doubt, ask to seee the label.

 

If your soft drink was canned outside the US, the units on the label will be metric. Here is a quick primer: 1,000 Joules (J) = 1 kilojoule (KJ) = about 29 calories; 1,000 milliliters (ml) = 1 liter (l) = about 34 fluid ounces. 240 ml is about 8 fluid ounces. Also, number punctuation outside the US is metric and the exact oposite of what we do in the US. Where a period (.) denotes the dicimal point, a comma (,) is used outside the US; where a comma is used to separate thousands, a decimal is used outside the US.

 

If you do not want to take a calculator to the Sky Bar and Club, forget about it, you are on vacation!
