Late night cravings and soft drink nostalgia

I often get a late night craving to eat something sweet, though sometimes this craving might also be for a Maggie or a Parle-G biscuit but usually it is for something sweet. A hot choc fudge or a Gulab jamun or anything sweet. And at times when i cant find anything i satisfy myself with some sweet Kellogs Chocos and milk.
For me these late night cravings are akin to sex cravings for some. and on most occasions not all i repeat most occasions i would prefer food to sex any day. Today i got this weird craving for Campa cola. Don't know how many of you out there remember Campa but that's was the drink we guys up here in Delhi grew up drinking. It disappeared as soon as coke and Pepsi entered the Indian market. But I have heard you can still find it in odd places like PCI or any govt canteen. Also heard that they are going to get back into production soon and it will be available in open market too. What are your cravings? what brand of soft drink did you drink? Campa, Thums up, Gold Spot? do post in your comments.
