Whether you call it soda, pop, sodapop, etc. it's the same. Carbonated beverages. Anyway, today there was nothing to drink other than water around, and I was looking for something with a bit of taste. There are a few cans of Coke laying around, so I decided to crack one open. I only ever drink about 2-3 cans of soda in a year. I just don't understand why people like it. To me, it feels like it's like drinking acid (probably because you technically are).

Does anyone else dislike the whole concept of soda? I don't see how people get pleasure from drinking bubbly acid. I guess that applies for anything, though.

I just now realized I've had a typo in my signature for the past 3 years.

You are drinking acid, carbonic acid im quite sure. Then in cola you have phosphoric acid... I do love soda, im addicted to Diet Pepsi, people ask me why i like diet and i say its because it just tastes better Lol either way it's just that satisfying taste you get when you drink it. I always pour mine over a bunch of ice to slightly decarbonate it because i think it comes WAY too carbonated out of the can or bottle. Im actually OK with flat soda on a rare occasion.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

I don't like Coke and Pepsi at all, but I do like most fruit-flavored sodas--Sprite, Sunkist and the like.

i like orange

Used to drink a carbonated beverage when I was in Germany for 3 years that I liked: Bitter Lemon. I can't find it anywhere in the States...or anything close to it. I used to love that stuff. Don't drink much soda/pop anymore, but I did like it better in a glass bottle...instead of a can or plastic bottle.

Soda is ok, I don't drink it that much because it's so bad for you. I prefer (and wish I saw vending machines that sold them instead of soda) fruit juice beverages.

My favorite is mango or passion fruit:





Unfortunately, these are "specialty items", so I either have to go to a high class grocery store or a ethnic grocery store (such as Japanese, Filipino, ect.)

My favorite carbonated drink is grape soda.

I love pepsi and Dr. Pepper. I only drink soda refrigerator-cold, and preferably on ice.

Uhh, right now I have a biiig cup of iced tea in front of me. It's harder to concentrate/program when I don't have a cold drink in front of me! (lol, my family has a small history of alcoholism)

speaking of programming...

I don't care for it; I was never able to tolerate the "sting" to it. If there isn't anything else to drink in the house, I'll do this;

I don't like coffee either. I think it smells great but tastes awful. I am addicted to tea, on the other hand. Also enjoy various fruit juices, V8, and water.

I like Coke, but Pepsi tastes like a cheap imitation of it to me, although I'll still drink it. Not a fan of Dr. Pepper or Root Beer though, but I do like Sprite. I usually just go with some lemonade or water though, sodas only every once in a while when I'm in the mood for one with a meal.

Love Dr. Pepper. Coke is good, would choose a Dr. Pepper over it any day though. Not a fan of Root Beer. Pepsi is meh, so so.
Does this 'soda' topic cover energy drinks?

I love sprite. I love root beer. I love dr. pepper. I love coke. I love pepsi. I love diet coke. I love diet pepsi.

Whatever sodas are left... I likely love them too lol.

Seriously, I love soda. I never drink any at home, but any time I go out to eat (which is like 3 times a week) I get a soda no matter what.

It's never caused any health issues in any way so far, so I don't see a reason to stop drinking so much lol.

I prefer Pepsi to Coke. I find Pepsi has a fruitier taste and is perhaps a little sweeter, and coke seems fizzier. But I don't drink coke much any more. I used to drink loads when I was a kid, and I think I'm somewhat intolerent to it now, and I can get stomach ache from it. Never had a filling though, so it never rotted my teeth! It is horrible stuff though and anyone drinking it daily should do some research into the damage its doing to you.

I love Dr Pepper when I'm in the mood for soda. But honestly, most of the time, I'll take juice or tea over soda any day. I'm a sucker for things like Sobe, and in my opinion the most delicious grape drink in the world is Arizona Grapeade... But really, for what I'd like to drink on a daily basis, juice is the best. So far, acai juice is my favorite, and nothing comes close to it...

TL: DR
Acai juice is the drink of gods.

Diet and sugar free tastes a lot better than normal stuff. Normal coke, pepsi etc feel like they are rotting your teeth the moment you take a sip. I hate coke and I don't understand why people drink it, pepsi is a lot better (diet or max).

Despite common belief, a Tesco 330ml bottle of orange juice contains more calories and sugar than a can of coke.

Found this out on a rather bored lunch break. Scanning the rest of the shop, all the stuff I'd deemed healthy, Tropicana, Innocent Smoothies, (oh so good though!), all had more calories per ml than coke.

Also coke washes over the teeth so quickly that it barely affects them. So unless your swishing it around like mouthwash, it shouldn't do any real damage as long as you brush your Pearlies often enough.

thats... not a valid statement
even though it washes over the teeth, its still, as posted in the main post: it is acid. combined with a lot of stuff meaning it is worse than acid.
and it gets stuck.
come with that argument to a dentist and they will laugh theyre shoes off at you

Hes actually got a point. Things like Crisps and sweets (like toffees) do far more damage to your teeth than fizzy drinks do, simply because crisps and sweets get lodged between your teeth and under your gums.

I'm not saying Fizzy Drinks don't do damage, but only a fraction of the damage of the things mentioned before.
I drink Pepsi Max on a regular basis and my teeth are perfect. (The secret is to brush your teeth once a day, minimum).

You'll find when you go to the dentist with bad teeth, his first question won't be, what have you been eating? It will be, how often do you brush your teeth?

So as long as you brush your teeth once or twice a day (and brush them correctly), and floss, you can pretty much eat or drink what you want.

(P.S. My Father is a Dentist and my mother is a Dental Hygienist)

Also when it comes to flossing, use these:


As its less hassle, or so I've been told. (but consult your dentist)

I think dental condition is largely genetic, as well as down to your lifestyle. Most people in my family have good teeth. As a kid, I drank loads of coke, ate loads of sweets, only brushed my teeth at night and often forgot. I still only brush my teeth once a day and eat lots of sugary stuff, and still zero fillings. In fact, I didn't go to the dentist for about 10 years (last time I went was when I started uni at 18), and decided I should finally go and see what the damage was. He said there was no noticable decay at all.

I don't necessarily mean genetically I have stronger enamel. It could be that. It could be superior saliva glands, or better gum tissue, or habitual teeth licking, or anything. I don't know. All I know is ... IN YOUR FILLING FILLED FACES!!

I drink normal coke quite often. I've never had a filling. The only damage to my teeth was when one was smashed in half by a hockey stick. I had it rebuilt though so it's not noticable. I conclude that hockey sticks are more dangerous than coke

IMO, aside from the damage to your teeth, sugar isn't actually that bad for you. Yes, you put on weight, but I don't need to worry about that! I don't get hyperactive and I have one of the longest attention spans of anyone I know my age. It's just another of those things that people like to blame for things that are their own fault.

I too do not like pop. Maybe about 3-4 times a year I'll have a can of Coke, but if I have to get a fountain drink from Subway or somewhere like that, I'll always go for non-carbonation. I tend to burp and sometimes get diarrhea from pop. Yah, gross. Not fun when I'm on a date, so I avoid it. I can drink coffee like nobody's business, however.

At work I just drink coffee, hot water, and tea imported from China.

Sugar in general is not bad for you in some forms... processed sugars are. There are lots of things that most ppl consume everyday that are not so great for you in many ways. Caffeine is more a problem then sugar but non natural sugars are hard on your body. Im not a health freak but things that you should avoid are things ppl eat every day. Milk, (I know... does the body good..) but is one of the hardest things for an adult human to digest, processed sugar and caffeine weaken your immune system, most breads, (wheat included) are made from bleached and enriched flours... which have no value whatsoever. I honestly go for juices, gatorade and tea when i go for drinks other then beer (Told you im not a health nut) but even then youd be suprised at the amount of sugars even juice contains. Companies realise that the average person isnt going to buy something if they dont like how it tastes so they load it with sugar. Soda doesnt usually work for me. Im also going to add that most caffeinated soda is going to dehydrate you and you need to balance that out with water (Yes beer does it too..)..

No. It contains acid... so is it worse than itself? Obviously it's not as bad as concentrated acid.

soda was actually banned from my high school a few years back. worst day ever when I walked up to where the vending machines no longer existed

all this talk..."its so bad, Blah Blah Blah, horrible for your teeth, Blah Blah Blah, makes you fat, Blah Blah," is complete crap to me. not saying its not bad for you, obviously is, but banning it entirely from a high school was outrageous!!!
I'm an avid soda drinker and have never had the slightest tooth problem and I sure as hell ain't fat lol.

if you brush your teeth daily (which to me is disgusting if you don't already minimally brush at least once every single day) and floss at least once a week (I can never seem to get a good habit of flossing daily, but most people I know entirely skip it), I can pretty much guarantee that soda isn't going to cause teeth problems.
And if getting fat worries you, well how bout you don't stuff your face with twelve hot dogs lol.

ahhhh I think ill finish this post with a nice long swig of an ice cold sprite

When I was in school we were able to leave school during breaks. So didn't matter as my school was pretty central. But we had a cantine that sold coke etc. Now that I am in university everything is just THERE. So yeah.

my school didn't allow us to leave campus under basically ant circumstances.

and how is it hard to understand why a person could get so upset about it?

For me personally, I was so upset because there is nothing more refreshing than a soda to me and school was generally the only place I bought one. I lost that freedom because some idiots that sign papers all day decided that banning sodas entirely at school is best for us. Completely absurd being 18 years old and not allowed to buy a soda.

As said, nobody is saying you can't drink it. Buy a can or bring one from home. You can't buy coffee in school, which is why I'd stop at the local Starbucks before heading to classes.

Quote: "As said, nobody is saying you can't drink it. Buy a can or bring one from home"

I can't keep it refrigerated for four hours if I'm bringing it from home. Why would I want a warm soda? Not giving me an option to buy a soda, is no different than not allowing me to buy a soda. We weren't allowed to leave lunch to go to any place nearby and grab one.

Quote: "and no i dont understand what the problem is?"

The problem is... I can't buy a soda. I would have to spend $1.50 on a tiny stupid water bottle to have any beverage with me.

Bringing a soda from home or a store was literally the only possibility for me to have one. However, I'm not going to go through an elaborate process or buy anything I shouldn't have had to in the first place, just to keep the stupid thing cold.

Quote: "before high school i couldnt buy a soda in school, now i can, but i dont get any benefit from doing so."

Before High School, I was allowed to buy soda at school.You are used to it being that way.

As I said before, I am an avid soda drinker. I always needed my caffeine at lunch time or I would get a head ache. It was much easier for me to put a dollar in a vending machine and grab a coke, than it is to have a warm soda from home.

I'm not going to wake up ten minutes earlier to go to a store just to buy a soda.
And, that in no way helps me, again, because I want a soda at lunch when I eat food.

Quote: "You can't buy coffee in school"

Not even true. The high school I went to and the junior college I go to now, BOTH had/have a place you could buy coffee. The high school eventually stopped selling coffee (I think about the same time that soda was banned actually) and plenty of people were extremely irritated. Why? Because they lost a convenient privilege. It's absolutely NO different with soda. I lost something of convenience for me (for an absolutely ridiculous reason) therefore, I was extremely irritated.

Is this starting to make any sense? I wanted a soda when I eat food. I wanted a cold soda so I actually enjoy it. Bringing it from home or buying from a store beforehand does not help me, because I'm not going to buy any crap just to keep it warm because I shouldn't have to do that in the first place because the schools SHOULD never have banned soda. Soda hasn't harmed anyone except people who are already fat and eat a lot worse food than what the soda does, and people who don't have any dental hygiene.

I lost a convenient privilege... Not even a privilege. I lost a right! [edit] (Apparently people are really struggling with this statement. And only the people who don't like soda, I might add... But I'll try and help you nerds out here---Obviously I didn't not lose a "right." As stated, this was an exaggeration. It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out either. I'll repeat E-X-A-G-G-E-R-A-T-I-O-N... It is not meant to be taken in a literal sense.)
Okay, did that help?

I stopped drinking carbonated drinks about 15 years ago when I went to a dentist and just by me opening my mouth he said "You drink a lot of sodas don't you?". I stopped cold turkey and only drink water/tea/non-carbonated juices now.

i used to be an avid root-beer drinker but i've really weened myself off. my martial arts instructor (who happens to be a hard-core health nut) said once that the acid in soda requires calcium to digest, and that calcium gets sucked out of your bones if it's not supplied well enough by your diet. these days i normally drink water, grapejuice or Sobe. i still have the occasional soft drink but i tend to avoid it.

No, you lost a convenience. You would lose a right if they were denying you any sort of drink at all. Water is a perfectly fine substitute at any given time.

Recently I've tried drinking nothing but water or black coffee, with the occasional iced coffee, and it really makes me think, why do we drink anything but water? It's seriously all we need 90% of the time.

Yes, it is me.

Water doesn't taste like anything.


I drink soda, but I too have a difficult time tolerating the acidy feel of it. I really only drink it alongside burgers and pizza, because that just seems to go with it so well. I try to stick to water/milk with other meals if it can be done.


I've not ever had an energy drink and I'm not going to. The amount of caffeine in those things would rev me up so bad I likely wouldn't be able to sleep for a day, and my heart would beat out of my chest. I seem to be pretty sensitive to caffeine. I actually gave up coffee for Lent (what the heck was I thinking?!), so I've been running off of much less caffeine for the last week and it's made me kinda crabby. But I do feel better physically.

I drink water every day. I have to, I live in a hot, hot part of the world.. The other stuff still tastes better, but I would choose water over anything if I was thirsty...

A man will one day wear a tophat in glasgow on a sunny day juggeling grapes while humming the jurrasic park theme tune.

Thank you Indicium. I thought it was pretty obvious I was exaggerating, but I guess not.

Leave it to crispex to argue with me because I complained about not being able to buy a soda at school. I also understand the "concept" of a soda and since you dont, naturally you should argue.

As for the "concept" of a soda.... its called flavor. Food has flavor and u obviously have preferences on which foods you would rather eat... Or are you saying you don't understand the concept of food?

[edit]

Quote: "No, you lost a convenience. You would lose a right if they were denying you any sort of drink at all. Water is a perfectly fine substitute at any given time."

This quote alone shows that you OBVIOUSLY understand why I was upset. But because you are Crispex you have to troll and irritate anyone you can. You have realized that I lost a "convenience" and know that I had to "substitute" sodas with water. People who lose conveniences become irritated because they lost said convenience. Get it? It's flat out common sense. Water is not a fine substitute to me. I don't drink water to quench my thirst. I drink water to not die. I drink water when playing sports so I don't get dehydrated. I don't, however, drink water because it tastes good. I drink soda... here's the kicker... because it tastes good. I love carbonated drinks... Carbonation only makes people who don't drink carbonated beverages burp like crazy.

I'm pretty sure people at TGC are the only people on this planet that could actually say, "I don't understand the concept of soda," like there is some secret hidden message to the purpose of a soda. When I read that, I'm basically reading, "I don't understand the concept of flavor. Why would I want to consume something that tastes great to me? I would much rather consume something that does not satisfy me in any way other than survival." TGC people are also the only people on the planet that could not understand why someone would get upset when they lose something. And when I say TGC people I mean the people who have irritated me in this thread lol.
Good lord.

Not literal?! I take it you've never bothered to read the 28th amendment.

Conversation:
crispex: I don't really like soda
jenkins: I like soda, they banned it at my school, and that sucks.
crispex/quik: I am outraged at your opinion. It is completely unfounded and I wish a 10 page handwritten formal apology at once. It's unbelievable how any person could think such horrific atrocities as you have in this page.

just sayin'

Quote: "Water doesn't taste like anything."


Everyone has always told me this, but there is definitely certain tastes of water. For example, Tyler Mountain Water Company is a few blocks down the street, their water tastes terrible (bottled water). However, Dasani tastes very good. People who say bottled water is just tap water, that's somewhat true, but it goes through a lot more filters. Drink purified water, then drink filtered water. Very noticeable difference.

I just now realized I've had a typo in my signature for the past 3 years.

I personally can't stand still water, but I like carbonated water (more specifically, perrier). It's all I drink now.
