1. I gave up sodas a year ago... |
|
so I can't answer, except to say that Coca-Cola WAS my favorite soda, and I drank a lot of Diet Coke up to that point. So Coca-Cola first, although I hadn't had the full-sugar version in years, and Diet Coke second. Now it's bottled water, and I don't miss sodas a bit. :hi:
BTW, my mother worked for Coca-Cola when I was growing up, so that's how I started on sodas. :D

77. One question, though... |
|
I hope you're not paying a buck each and every time you want a 20 oz. bottle filled with tap water?!?
If the water from your kitchen faucet tastes funny, I'd suggest one of those Brita filters or something similar. Could save you a lot of cash.

Eventually I got it. And it was good. Strawberry flavored, I think.
My favorite thing was during the con, was the box my sword was put into when bought. On it, I wrote, "This box ownz your soul -----> This side up, open soul at other end." and "To get soul back, hug or pic will do."

60. Santa Cruz Organic Lemonade (fizzy), Izze Pomegranate, RC, Diet 7-Up |
|
I don't like corn syrup, so I try to drink things that are either sugar or fruit juice or with Splenda. When I can find Diet RC (not Diet Rite), I drink that because RC uses splenda and diet rc has caffeine (Diet Wrong doesn't have caffeine, and what's the point of soda without caffeine?)
I'm currently in love with Izze and Santa Cruz.

Both the new Cherry Vanilla one and the Berries 'n' Cream one are so addictive it's not even funny. A&W Diet Cream soda is great too, but it's only available in cans and hard as hell to find. Trader Joe's sells several varieties of Diet Hansen's, including a ginger ale, which are all very good, too.

They mix it with filtered water instead of hooking up to the local tap which makes it oh so good. I have one each morning instead of coffee, which I don't drink. I know it's a vice but...yum.
