I don't remember drinking soda as a kid. I was a big Hi-C and juice drinker back then.

I wish I could wean myself from soda, I know I would drop some of this excess weight quickly if I did. I do drink 2 liters of water a day, but I can't seem to drink anything but soda with a meal.

I don't drink soda anymore for the past year or so, but when I did it was COKE for sure! I do occasionally indulge in a diet coke, and I do prefer that to diet pepsi.

I like them both and buy whichever one is on sale. Right now, Coke is $3.99/case. That'll last me a couple of months.

My main drink is water. I probably go through 1/2 gallon, per day and more, in the summer. With our 100+ temps, its a necessity.

Soda's bad man!!!
lol

I do not really drink any carbonated beverages. The carbonation hurts my throat, A LOT it makes it burrrrrn.
I do however like a sip of Red Fusion, or Code Red now and then. It's ok.

All that caffeine will give you kidney stone yo! :tounge2:

I'm a Diet Coke girl, actually I prefer Diet Lemon Coke. For me, it's a taste thing. Pepsi has a metalic taste that I don't like. If I have a choice, I'll take Fresca.

I always call Coke the "elixar of the gods" I am addicted to the stuff. Thanks - now I have to get some on break - I am trying to cut back!

I usually drink Diet Coke, but will also drink Diet Pepsi. I very rarely drink the regular stuff, and if that's all that's available, I definitely prefer Coke, because Pepsi is awfully sweet. They don't sell the Vanilla or Cherry Coke over here. What I really miss is rootbeer/birchbeer and Diet Dr.Pepper! Whenever I'm back in the States, the first thing I do is buy a case of each. The Germans drink something called a "Spezi", which is half cola and half orange soda - that's one thing I just can't drink!

Coca Cola, and NOT the flavored ones. Yuck. Coke seems spicier to me than Pepsi. I don't like diet, and I won't drink Pepsi in place of Coke! (And I CAN tell the difference!)

But I don't drink much pop anymore....

Here's a good question: Soda or Pop?

I grew up calling it pop. But now I live in the East, where they call it soda!

We just had this discussion at work the other day. Pop in the Midwest, soda in California, and I grew up in the Mid-Atlantic calling all sodas Coke (As in "I'm getting a coke", and coming back with root beer.

I call it pop. Ever been somewhere that they call all carbonated beverages Coke? I don't remember where we were, some family vacation, but the waitress asked us if we wanted "Cokes". We said sure, but got really confused when she said "Well, what kind?" This was way before a flavored Coke. Then, a bit frustrated with our ignorance, she explained "We have root beer, Mountain Dew...." etc.

I call it pop! At the resteraunts here in Canada, they call it pop. When I went to Miami for a modeling competition, the Americans asked if I wanted a soda. Americans say chicken fingers we say chicken strips!

My cousins from Michigan and Rhode Island call it pop, too. I think it's a northern thing.
