Since people are going to drink what they want anyway, maybe they should flouridate soda pop.
Why stop there? Flouridate everything.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2005: the Year of the Penguin
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2005? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Sounds good, but the main dental worry about soda pop is the effect it's having on teeth. Telling parents doesn't seem to work.
I'm still puzzled when a city decides not to floridate their water.

That's because the floridaters have already mind-controlled you. Next thing it'll be the barcodes on everyone's foreheads, just you wait.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Damn. I was happy kissing 2005 goodbye, hoping things would get better in 2006. I spent Friday at the ER - the only diagnosis they have is vertigo.

Our wings are not tired.
Ick. Vertigo can be quite unpleasant. I hope it was a a short lived bug.

The problem with the perception is also that if you switch off between diet and sugared sodas, most people will find one or the other unpalatable.
Really? I drink both. I mean, not one after another (though sometimes when I get to fill my own drink at a place, I mix half regular and half diet). I'm more likely to drink the diet, because I usually care about the calories, but...I like the taste of regular better.

move out and draw fire
I am meara exactly (when it come to soda preferences I mean...I'm nowhere near as pretty!).
Todd! Yuck. I've had a couple awful bad horrible vertigo attacks. Not pleasant.
So far 2006 has been okay for me, but yesterday I spilled coffee all over myself and my car, then tore an ice cube tray right in half when trying to twist the cubes out. So I've decided to sit on my hands and not touch anything for a bit.

Notice I hedged my bets with the word "most" so as not to have to fess up I was talking out of my ass...so I won't.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I only drink diet (Pepsi, Coke) and hate the taste of regular - unless I'm mixing drinks. I just hate the taste of diet mixed with, say, vodka. Booze and regular soda tastes much better.
