Overall, PET carpet — which is indeed made from recycled
soda and water bottles and is
sold under the name
brands Resistron and Permalon, among others — is a pretty green choice.
Be on the lookout during this challenge for: dextrose, maltodextrin, sucrose, fructose, cane sugar, evaporated cane juice, acesulfame potassium (
sold as Sweet One — often combined with aspartame or sucralose to sweeten gum, diet
soda and other sweet products), aspartame (Nutri - sweet and equal), saccharin (
sold as Sweet n» Low), stevia (combined with sugar alcohol and
sold under
brand names like Truvia and Pure Via), erythritol (a sugar alcohol derivative of corn) xylitol, brown rice syrup (and other syrups), high fructose corn syrup (made by treating starch extracted from corn with enzymes to make fructose and glucose)-- and if there's anything on a food label that you think might be sugar, google it.
