I don't drink soda either or eat sweets, the only sugars in my diet currently are in the foods I eat like baked beans etc. No ice cream, desserts or juices and sodas.
Pepsi. Let me explain. I went on a trip to Venezuela when I was in college and got super sick from accidentally drinking Kool-Aid made with tap water. For 5 days I couldn't eat or drink anything. All I could tolerate was Pepsi. I tried drinking water, juice, milk, Coke, everything, and they all made me feel worse. Pepsi was the only thing that made me feel almost normal. I sipped from a glass 2-liter bottle for about 3 days. I wound up losing about 15 pounds.
Don't drink soda anymore, but if I had to choose. I'd drink piss over Pepsi. And a Coke or Seven up bottled in Mexico. For the reason that they still use real sugar and not that HFCS crap.
I rarely drink soda anymore because it's so bad for you, but a good root beer or cream soda can still tempt me. I like Vanilla Coke, too, but it's hard to find. And remember Pepsi One? That lemony tasting thing that was only one calorie? I liked that, back in the day.
I don't do soft drinks anymore (Bourbon, neat please..)
BUT - if I had to choose:
Cheerwine (Dr Pepper's southern first cousin) over Coke and Pepsi.
BubbleUp or Upper10 or Teem over Sprite or Sierra Mist or 7Up.
And, I *know* this is a Kentucky thing and I'm being sacrilegious but I HATE Ale-8 with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. This crap tastes like flat Mello Yello mixed with K-Mart brand ginger Ale and horse piss. (I think that's why Kentuckians like it... the horse piss part.)
Diet Coke tastes WAY better than diet Pepsi (although Pepsi Max is better than Coke Zero). Otherwise, I have no preference whatsoever among any brands.
No pop for me. My neighbor was a nurse and they would soak iv lines in coke to unclog them. Don’t want that in my body. Hint water or hot tea or coffee (not sugar) for me. And wine. Lots of it.

@Sagan, Dr. Pepper is a southern drink. My mother has a story about how my aunt would always stock up on Dr. Pepper when they visited family in the south because it wasn't available anywhere else. That was a while ago...
*Coke-especially when it “burns”-I finally broke my addiction by giving it up for Lent. I’m not Catholic but a friend said, “You can give up anything for the Lord”, it worked. So, now it’s my “treat” after a hard day. Diet Pepsi-anyone remember Pepsi Light from the 70’s-80’s? Loved it
Ginger ale. I mostly drink coffee and Crystal Light. Love ice tea but It acts like a diuretic. In very hot climates carbonated beverages are not appealing.
Vernor's
ReplyDeleteThe cure for all ills.
DeleteMy sister in law from Detroit introduced me to Vernor's. I mean... is that stuff straight carbonated acid?

DeleteBasically that. Plus some coloring. It'll burn the flu right out of you.

I don't mind saying this. But I loved new coke. I might be the only one. But I still miss it.
ReplyDeleteOnly Mexican coke for me too, but I use it to tenderize pork for carnitas tacos (use half, drink the other half) or cleaning toilets.
ReplyDeleteI love an ice cold Coke in a can, by the pool in the summer!!
ReplyDeleteOther than that I don’t drink soda at all...
Coke Zero is life.
