Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Regular Coke over Pepsi, but Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke.

This is probably me, too, although I haven't had regular soda in so long, I can't really drink it anymore. Diet Coke really does take like nothing but chemicals to me. If I can get it with the lime, it's not too bad, though.

Actually... when a baby eats a penny, does it come out clean???

We waited and waited for a dime Ben had swallowed to come out the other end, and finally we just stopped paying attention. I assume it did at some point, though.

Our wings are not tired.

It has been 5 months since I had any soda other than plain soda water, but I was a Diet Pepsi person over Coke. My #1 favorite soda was Wink. With gin or vodka even.

My new eating program has no soda, no chemicals, no coffee. I'm shocked that I have dealt so well with the loss of coffee. Just herbal tea, fizzy water, wine sometimes. I would mourn the loss of soda and coffee except for the whole feeling great thing.

Heh. I read this convo then headed to the hospital cafeteria I'm at today. And lo and behold: Pepsi products! Boo.

Always Anti-fascist!

And, I'm no drug expert, although I do play one on the internet, but I'd guess the chick that drank bottles of coke a day and died was probably addicted to some other stuff too, not that is a healthy practice, but I think opiates make you want sugar that much.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I miss real Coke. Diet Coke is a pale comparison to real Coke.

I dislike diet drinks generally, but I have them with meals. I can't just drink one straight.

I almost never drink soda anymore, either. It's mostly tea for me all day, hot and then iced. But occasionally I like a little jolt of extra caffeine.

My favorite used to be birch beer when I was a kid. I still love it, but you can't find it anywhere.

I actually get my favorite beverage shipped in. I love Sprecher's low cal root beer. It isn't zero calories, but it is low enough calorie (and tastes pretty good) that I can drink one of those in the evening and my soda craving is quelled.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

In a carbonated coincidence, I have just stopped drinking soda this week. And caffeine (since I don't drink coffee, that was how I got my morning jolt). I love it, but it was the only liquid I ever drank and I drank tons every day. I want to be healthier. I can't just cut down, tried that before and I am an all or nothing kinda gal. Farewell, dearest Diet Dr. Pepper, you were a true friend.

Our favorite bar actually has it on tap. Trufax.

No way, really? Not alcoholized or anything?
