But they taste good. Which is more than I can say for most other caffeine delivery systems.
I love Diet Coke and good old fashioned Southern Sweet Tea. (Publix has the best sweet tea. It takes a knack to make good sweet tea-I can’t get it right. Don’t have to now...Publix does it for me.)
If there is no Diet Coke, I’ll take Diet Dr Pepper or Diet Barqs. NEVER Diet Pepsi—nasty. I drink my diet sodas out the can at room temp. The carbonation is just right. :-)
My kids always drank milk, juice and water except when they were sick. Then they would get Ginger Ale. It does the same thing as pedialyte but a lot cheaper. They have moved on to Gatorade, but that is as nasty as Diet Pepsi.
Leave me alone.
No single behavioral activity has a more negative impact on a person’s overall health and life expectancy than engaging in the male homosexual “lifestyle”. I trust that the government will be focusing on this issue with the same aggressiveness they employ while attacking the various food products they condemn, tax, and eliminate.
Uh, yeah.
Yep. My doctor says some caffeine is fine. There is no way Dr. Pepper would lie to me!
I probably drink a can of soda once a day. Haven’t had a single cavity and the dentist always tells me my teeth are strong and health. Why, because I BRUSH my teeth. I also don’t have a gut or have any heart or health problems (according to my recent physical). Why, because I EXERCISE several times a week.
Just telling someone to stop drinking or eating something is not going to solve the problem of America’s health problems.
Sugar consumption suppresses or compromises the immune system? Fer crying out loud......what is this guy a Dr. of, Public Policy? What a maroon.
From liver problems to bone problems to diabetes, her soda consumption is definitely taking a toll on her body but she won't listen to anyone. She's set in her ways.
Small, small world...I have the good Dr. sitting on my desk right now.
(Waiting for the holiday Chocolate Dr. P to appear on the store shelves!!!)
Good for you and Dr. Maotsetung. Now, leave the rest of us the f*** alone.
I don't doubt that this MAY be true, but the point is - it's MY body and 0bama, his thugs, or some liberals will not decide what I drink.
Wow Mr. Cranky-Pants! I simply posted this so that others can see what some bad habits can lead to. If you want to continue drinking soda, be my guest. I am not trying to tell anybody that they can or can’t do something. I simply choose not to waste my money on this kind of thing. If you want to spend your money on soda then more power to you.
Just a thought though, if obamacare does go through, it might be time to quit. If something bad happens because of soda you might not be covered.
Well,
I was disappointed that I didn’t find him here:

Maybe soon.
Do you really have to ask? I can see the pattern now.
1) Tell how BAD something is.
2) Drum up hatred for the Evil Corporation who is making a PROFIT off this Bad Bad Thing.
3) Ask the public, "Wouldn't you like to take some of that profit AWAY from the Evil Corporation selling the Bad Bad Thing??"
4) Assure the public that the taxes will go to take care of the health issues arising from the Bad Bad Thing.
It worked on the cigarette companies. Now they'll go after soft drinks. Then junk food and fast food. Then corporate farms... (meat will soon be a Bad Bad Thing.)
Avoid the soda aisle at the supermarket -- it is evil!
Ahem. You would think, with all the serious issues confronting us today - the economy, job losses, health care takeover, cap 'n trade, Afghanistan, Iran, etc., that this nonsense would be on the back burner.
Good reality check you posted, by the way.
(And I don't drink soda much, simply because I never formed the habit. When I do, I enjoy it.)
When it get below 20 degrees whiskey makes the occasional appearance on the list.
They better not tax Doritos.
yeah, me too.
>.When I do, I enjoy it.)
You’re outta step with the times.
You’re supposed to feel guilty and bad.
I tell ya, all these soda stories have caused me to drink more soda these past few months than ever before.
I tellya, these people are pure evil...
