I put "other" although I guess it's technically Coke. Diet Vanilla Coke to be precise
. Which is really kind of odd, back when I was a teenager and a young 20-something I drank ONLY Pepsi and wouldn't hardly touch Coke. Then when the aspartame came in and diet drinks actually tasted pretty decent I started drinking Diet Coke because the Diet Pepsi tasted like swampwater (still does, even with sucralose in it.) I lost 50#
, got used to the taste of diet drinks and now the Pepsi, especially "real" Pepsi, is just too sweet.

Rigel, do you work for Coke? I am a Pepsi person, though my sister's husband's friend, who is living with them temporarily, works for Coke, and I know 2 more people who works for Coke.

Coke will eat through metal if you leave it there long enough. So I decided that it couldnt be good for my kidneys, so I gave it up.. I really dont miss it... except for when they introduce all this lemon coke lime coke, cherry vanilla dr. pepper, etc. But it makes me feel good that I have made the healthier choice.

I thought I heard somewhere that it ate through metal if it sat there long enough. guess not. Thanks for letting me know! cooks meat though, isnt that interesting....
I wonder if that would count on those raw diets people are on.

I chose Coke. I don't drink soft drinks though...I've never really drank them. I'd rather have water, milk, or juice.

Colas make my tummy hurt.

I don't drink soft drinks much. On the whole they're too sweet, and artificially sweetened anything has a yucky aftertaste. If I have a pop, it'll be gingerale or tonic water, or if available one of the Italian ones that have a much lower sugar content and a noticeable amount of real fruit juice in them. I really like Limonata and Chinoto a lot, and usually have some in the house. Sorry Rigel -- though, if it's any consolation, my preference of cola drinks, if I'm in need of a caffeine and sugar fix, is Coke.

Vanilla coke is my weakness, so I just can't buy it, period. Otherwise I prefer coke out of the bottle or can and Pepsi when I'm at a restaurant. I like both equally, but I can't stand Pepsi in a can or bottle. I just love it when it comes out of a machine. I'm trying to ween myself off of colas and thus far it's working. I've lost five pounds this month and I think it's because I don't drink soda. I do looooooooove good draft rootbeer. There's a brewery in my hometown that makes their own rootbeer and it's amazing.
