Anyone here tried Mexican Coke? I got a bottle at the Home Depot and after I finished it I kept in my room as a decoration 'cause I think it looks nice.

As for my personal health... who should I trust, WaveBoy or ChocoGoldfish!? Augh!

Don't listen to either of them. You'll be better off in the end.

I stopped drinking soft drinks.

Instead, I replaced them with Sweet Tea/Iced Tea and just water. Exercise about 4 times a week (would do more if my situation was better like I used to).

My favorite, though, was Diet Pepsi.

Worst drink: Fudge Soda. Horrific x_x

Shame on you, @Blue_Ace. Dr. Pepper IMO is amazing and is my second-favorite soft drink. Only problem is... they don't sell it in Australia.

However, my all-time favorite, sickeningly-unhealthy soft drink would have to be... melon-flavored Ramune-

I hardly ever have access to this drink, so it makes the experience all-the-more enjoyable. The other flavors are great too!

@Blue_Ace: I know, and I'm glad you have a different opinion. (I was just giving you a playful nudge)

Since I'm still in this thread for fizzy flavored suga-water, I might as well mention my least favorite soft drink... which just so happens to be the overrated Coca-Cola. Now that has an interesting flavor. xD (no offense to you coke lovers)

Mmmm Diet Mountain Dew is my favorite!! Then my second favorite is Diet A&W, and then anything diet made by Coca-Cola because I prefer Coke over Pepsi, ever since I was little.

Wow, this has really taken off!
Howzabout another question. How often do you have soda? Do you think this has affected your health?
I usually have about 3 or 4 cans/bottles/etc. a week. My teeth were already bad before soda and it definitely hasn't fattened me up, so I don't think it's affected me at all.

I love Coke, Mountain Dew, root beer, cream soda and various fruit-flavored sodas (orange, lemon, purple, etc.), but I tend to stay far away from soda for the most part. I've actually dropped quite a bit of weight since I stopped regularly consuming it; it's mostly water and tea for me these days.

I'll have soda every once in a blue moon (last time was bit over a week ago) and I'll usually get it alongside fast food if even that. In just the last year or so, I've cut soda out of my diet almost completely and it's easier than expected. Funny thing is, I've noticed my weight steadily dropping since then... and I'm lovin' it.

Man, the last time i had soda was actually a couple of days ago at McDonalds. usually I'll have it maybe a few times a year. Goes fabulous along side with Pizza Hut. And I usually drink it with a straw hehe, Soda wears down your tooth enamel and i'm crazy about my straight pearly whites.lol I don't mess with Tea, Coffee, Soda or anything that can stain or erode your teeth enamel unless i'm busting out the straw! Same deal with fruit, if it's Citrus-based i just blend them together in a juicer and make a drink out of them And bang it back with a straw so it doesn't hit my teeth haha. Also, swirling water in your mouth afterwards and spitting it out helps too.

And for the people who consume ze' soda many times a day as in daily everyday for years to come should be worried about a one way ticket to Diabeetus Land.

The straw helps? I had no idea, even though that makes sense.
Hmm.

If I cut soda out of my diet, I might lose weight! That could pose a problem, as I'm about 25 pounds underweight. (if I had glasses and as soon as I get my braces, I'll be the perfect stereotypical nerd!)

I drink one maybe once a week. Most soft drinks taste like they just came out of a test tube. Except Izze's... expensive, but amazing.

Usually I prefer a cup of tea though.

Half? And what's wrong with my normal peanut butter?

I'm not looking to be a body builder, and I don't think most people who take their time to talk about soda are either...

That aside, i do miss Crystal Pepsi.

OMG total 90's meltdown there. I loved the original Crystal Pepsi not the the new stuff when they added the fruity flavors to it but the original. I remember my freshman year in high school back when schools were able to have soda machines on campus the Crystal Pepsi was always sold out in the Pepsi machine. Damn now I want one looks like I am going to have to scope out Ebay for some 20 year old soda .

Lol wow that commercial brings back memories lol. I totally remember that one too.

Just went to 7-11 and I thought this was worth asking...
Does the Slurpee qualify as a soft drink? If so, what are your thoughts on this soft drink?

Fun fact: Slurpee and ICEE are actually both owned by 7-11. I have no idea why.

[/div]

Yes it does qualify as a soft drink cause it is a soft drink. All a Slurpee is is a soft drink frozen and while its freezing its mixing so it ends up as a Slurpee. And I think the reason that both are owned by 7-11 is cause 7-11 had a deal with the ICEE company to sell Icee but they had to do it under a different name if it was sold at their stores so 7-11 called the drinks sold at their stores Slurpee. Everywhere else got to keep the Icee name.
