To improve my eye sight....I think a whole truck of carrots will not be enough. :) Without contacts or glasses, I can only see colors.

i always called it coke; regardless of whether it's coca-cola or some other beverage.
like, "hey, hand me a coke."

I checked for you Ace. I will actually copy and paste my findings...quite interesting. Lets run to the store and get some root beer. :)
Sarsparilla:
In North America it used to flavor root beer and even named a beverage toward the end of the last century. Farther south, however, it has been used for hundreds of years as a tonic and to treat various sexual maladies. The former may be explained by an infection-fighting phytohormone (plant-based hormone) that resembles cortisone. The latter, of course, is what we're interested in here.
Sarsparilla contains phytosterols, which are used by the body to create testosterone and progesterone. These hormones control agression and sex drive in both genders, so it is quite possible that medicine has vindicated the ancient use of sarsparilla to combat impotence and frigidity.

Mmmmm very interesting jstkdn!!! I must stock up. Funny thing is the word 'root' is used in OZ as slang for the very thing you're eluding to young lady. I'd also like to add that I'm a huge advocate of phytosterol production.
