A Mississippi teen fought PepsiCo and won.

Now the soft drink maker is removing a key ingredient from citrus-flavored Gatorade.

15-year-old Sarah Kavanaugh launched an online petition requesting the company remove brominated vegetable oil from her favorite drink.

BVO is used to promote consistency in the drink.

But it shares an ingredient with some flame retardants, and has been linked to various health problems when ingested in large amounts.

According to Change.org, more than 200,000 supporters signed the petition.

"I didn't expect all of the attention to be brought to it, but I'm definitely grateful for it. I'm glad that people are seeing the affects of it and that they're really caring about what's being put in products that they use," said Kavanaugh.

PepsiCo said it began reformulating a new line of BVO free Gatorade about a year ago.

It's expected to hit shelves soon.

The World Series of Poker will return to Tunica at the end of January for its eighth year.

Harrah’s Tunica will host the circuit event from January 24, 2013, through February 4.

There will be 12 gold ring events, but the main event starts on Friday, February 1.

Since 2005, Harrah’s officials say $32 million in prize money has been given out to winners.

In 2012, main event winner Kurt Jewell took home almost $200,000 from a field of more than 600 others.

Points from the events can qualify players for a seat at the national event in New Orleans.

The Chickasaw Council of Boy Scouts are putting their forces behind the Mid-South Food Bank this holiday season.

Scouting for Food is an effort to feed families in need.

One in five Mid-Southerners struggle with food insecurity - that's a lack of sufficient food to meet basic needs.

"I think were going to have a record year. Not only have we filled up all the bins this year at this location, but we also picked up North Mississippi.

They had eight troop groups down there," said David Stephens of the Mid-South food bank.

This year, Kroger is also lending a hand by offering eight food collection sites.

The Mid-South Food Bank delivers more than one million pounds of food per month.
