Coca Cola Cherry.

This shit is addictive as hell to me right now.

I can drink gallons of it.
Someone get me a doctor!

Oh man, cherry coke is awesome. It's like normal coke, but with cherry 'n shit. yee.

Dr. Pepper is better. Sorry

Thanks ether. I'm trying to cut back, damn it. We have vending machines at work and it is the worst.
I'm watching Hercules.

I was trying to cut back too.
Then I had a sip of Coke Cherry and my taste buds went HAM.

Someone at work tried to say coke was made with baby fetus. I then bought one just to say, "mmm, baby fetus."
Honestly wouldn't care, it tastes too good.

I agree.
I am so sick of Diet Coke.
It's all my mom will buy. ):

Tell her about the babies. And that it's only in diet.

Lmao, that won't scare her.
I've tried everything from cancer to aliens.

Tell her it makes you fat!
A Purdue University study suggests that artificial sweeteners may disrupt the body’s natural ability to regulate calorie intake.

Nearly all diet drinks contain sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate, mold inhibitors that many regular sodas do not have. These preservatives can cause cell damage.
The chemicals have also been associated with hives, asthma and other allergic conditions. These chemicals have the ability to cause severe damage to DNA in the mitochondria to the point that they totally inactivate it.” Also wears away teeth enamel faster apparently.

I am guessing that it's all true!

It has big words, so seems legit.

Yeah, diet soda is worse for you then regular. the fake stuff messes up your body

speaking of which, this almost happened. New Zero Calorie Ramen to Use Recycled Plastic

Where I live a lot of places are getting new soda fountains that have a bunch of drinks and different flavours for each. I'm in love with Cherry Vanilla Coke.

I don't drink caffeinated soda, so I guess I'm missing out. But after going without it for so long, it kinda tastes gross/overpowering whenever I do try soda again.

FF: Your delicious soda tastes like ants to me.

You have tasted an ant before!?

What if we enjoy the taste of ants?

I actually hear that from a lot of people, Charlie. I need to try and kick it for a certain period of time. How long have you refrained from drinking the syrup?

Who hasn't? They even sell them chocolate-covered in stores.

Oh man. Probably since around 2010 or 2011. And yeah, that's what happens. My health psych professor mentioned it in a class I had, where the assignment was not to drink soda for a semester. Supposedly by the end of the semester, the taste will be different for you (if you don't cheat). I kinda just quit cold turkey, and I'd already stopped before his assignment, so I don't really know how long it takes exactly. But inevitably, it starts to taste bad.

Weirdo.

I was in a similar situation, only I wanted to drink soda, so I did, in large quantities, tried to switch back to water and almost couldn't stand the taste. It's gotten a lot better now, just need to build dat will power.

I still don't like water. Switch to the 0-calorie "flavored" soda water. Carbonated water, really, with various flavors added to it. A great transition from soda to healthier alternatives. Also Haterade. Some of the flavors are very subtle, and those are the best ones.

man I was exaaaactly the same way at work for the first couple months I worked there.

$1.25?

Gatorade makes my tummy feel...slosh-ey, but I'll shop around for the flavored. I was trying those packets you put in water for awhile, but there's just something weird about them, or me.

@Ragu: 1.25? Lucky, they've got us at 1.50 here.

Pepsi >>>>
I don't drink soda products anymore though

$1.00 here .

Guh. Never move to Philly. They also take 20.00 out of my paycheck just because I live in the damn city.

I don't know why it's so hard to give up soda. I tried to stop drinking it but whenever I eat I think of Dr. Pepper

Is that when you normally drink Dr.Pepper? You might have unknowingly formed a habit.

My max soda intake per day is 1 can, and I normally end up having it at lunch. Most of the time over the summer I don't drink it at all, because it doesn't quench your thirst when you BMX. I bring lots of watterbottles, and then we always ride our bikes down to 7-11 for a slurpee haha. Favorite sodas are Dr. Pepper, Cherry Coke, Redpop, and Sierra Mist. (Sprite tastes too syrupy)

Get outta me, that's a quarter to much for a drink

The only thing I've actually ever seen those used for is hiding vodka in waterbottles in high school. Not that you can't hide vodka in a water bottle by itself, but teachers know that trick. If you flavor it, they're less likely to think of it. Never seen someone use them other than that.

Oh hey, that reminds me of the Skittles Vodka thing I saw. It's skittles-colored and flavored vodka, and it looks like cool-aid haha.

Never tried it. I'm a strait edge when it comes to smoking and drugs and drinking and shit, I'm going to wait until I'm 21. For some reason though, with the music and stuff I listen to, I feel like when I drink after 21 and stuff, every time I drink I'm going to end up getting completely fucking smashed at some huge techno concert/party thing. Just a feeling, for some reason.

Probably because that's what you want to do, so that's what you'll do.

Do yourself a favor and never start smoking. I piss away about 160 dollars a month for it.
