I can not do that one either. It makes me swell up like I am so totally allergic to it.
Real sugar is fine.. but that is like lethal for me.

Same here to a point. If I drink a regular Mountain Dew, I feel like I am going to explode. There is Jones Soda Company that makes all their stuff with sugar. So so good.

Not sure but I would imagine us Aussies have propagated a variety that grows best here.

We have a cane toad that was brought out in 1930s because of a sugar cane bug. Now no more bugs but we have toads everywhere.

They donā€™t like it when you put salt on them and you can get high if youā€™re stupid enough to lick them. :rofl:

@marsh8 Jamaican sugar cane is like thin bamboo with those rings on the outside. Usually grow in bunches, like 10 or more close. Youā€™d peel it (that outer layer) and then suck on it. :+1:t2:

Jamaican oddity is canned cheese from NZ.

Well then thatā€™s a definite no then that they are the same.
The sugar cane Iā€™ve seen is much bigger than that description

Iā€™d say it was around a 3 inch diameter. Then again, that was at the side of my house, and we were always cutting it to eat/chew/suck. :smile:

He is probably wondering what it means, just like I am lol. I have never seen that. What does 44% moisture represent?

I actually think I like the chocolate ones better than the strawberry. I want to try those salted caramel ones. I bet those are tasty.
