Soda

Diet Cherry Coke.

Bar that, Diet Dr. Pepper. I haven’t had regular soda in years.

Here comes the cancer!

Armando Penblade:

I grew up in LA, VA, and TN, moved to Boston for college.

People up here know better than to publicly air their dirty laundry. Teenage pregnancies are quickly aborted and shoved under the carpet, women have extra-marital affairs with pool boys to make up for the debilitation effects of years of physical abuse, and I presume that old cars are taken to chop shops or sold back rather than sitting up on cinderblocks in the front yard (the distinct lack of front yards doesn’t hurt, either).

As compared to a third of my graduating HS class having a baby already or pregnant at the time. Or the dozen cases within my own circle of friends of various kinds of physical and mental abuse that were showcased to visitors in the home on a nightly basis. Or, you know, the half dozen 70s-era cars jacked up on blocks on every fucking street.

Sorry, I have a bit of a complex about the South now that I’ve finally scraped my way out of it.

I know you’re making this whole thing up because THERE ARE NO POOLS IN BOSTON.

Ok, maybe there are pools that are open 2 months out of the year.

I like diet pepsi, makes me burp.

I thought Mountain Dew would have had more votes. I can stomach the over-priced belly wash, but some folks like the caffine hit.

That was an awesomely passive-aggressive move. Salute!

Just plain carbonated mineral water, thank you.

Is that the cola that comes with a C shell?

It’ll put hair on your chest!

Who doesn’t like to get their liquids at McD’s!

Anders_Hallin · February 6, 2009, 2:42am

Sadly not. Though it, much like Linux, is some hippie crap.

wumpus · February 6, 2009, 3:48am

Diet Pepsi Max all the way.

short version: 2x caffeine + ginseng

Rob_Merritt · February 6, 2009, 4:08am

Diet Coke and honestly its because I like the taste.

meson · February 6, 2009, 4:25am

Tanheiser kali
as it is known here in Estonia. To me it is the only kali/kvass that still has natural taste. There was a brand called Linnuse kali which was most popular soft drink in the 90’s then Coca-cola co. bought the brand name and now brewes their own Linnuse kali which imho tastes vile.

Morberis · February 6, 2009, 4:47am

I’m intrigued, what does it taste like? Aside from bread.

Bahimiron · February 6, 2009, 5:13am

Yeah, that’s pretty much what turned me into the Hulk for about an hour. At one point I decided to just go out to my car 'til it was over, cos I was at work and acting like a total Christian Bale to my employees. I really have no idea what part of the ‘energy boost’ contributed to my rage factor, but I’ve passed since.

Though I honestly don’t get the ginseng love. The three new flavors of Mountain Dew were complete fails for me cos of that ginseng aftertaste. (Well, I could get over it for that light blue ‘berry’ one. That one was pretty okay.)

Crazy bastard here, I drink tap water, green tea and coffee… mostly water…

Balasarius · February 6, 2009, 7:05am

I DEMAND COCA COLA ZERO!

That shit is like liquid ice cream sundae.

graller · February 6, 2009, 7:22am

I never ever drink soda

Only beverages are water, wine and rarely a beer.

Oh Whiskey

JonRowe · February 6, 2009, 7:22am

Soda, good, the correct terminology

and… Diet Coke… because it is like crack cocaine.

I used to hate diet coke, and then I gave up regular sodas (I have them once and again, I just can’t buy them for the house)
I hated the taste, I hated how weird and carbonated it was… but now… I love it, and it is because of the taste.

Diet Dr. Pepper is a close second.

I grew up on Diet Coke and am insanely addicted to it. I manage to drink mostly SodaClub soda flavors (my favorite is pink grapefruit) but Diet Coke is my first love. I flirt with Diet Dr. Pepper and Fresca sometimes. Sugary sodas coat my mouth, although once and a while I do like a cold, half can of real coke.

Grimy · February 6, 2009, 7:49am

Coke Zero, tastes pretty close to the original but not calories or sugar.
