Do You Drink Soda?

[broncosmitty]

If you haven't drank this yet. You need to.

 

[broncosmitty]

This too.

I work for a company that my daughter used to call "Petsi" when she was little. I drink soda everyday but have lessened my intake more and more.

Word to the wise; diet sodas are actually worse for you than non diet. Food for thought.

I don't care much for diabetes, so I don't drink any soda with sugar/corn syrup.

I'll have a diet soda once in awhile, but even sugar substitutes do funky things to your blood sugar, as well as cravings for real sugar, which I try to avoid altogether, really.

I drink a lot of this stuff, though.

Given that I'm Type 1 diabetic, I will take that bet

Look up aspartame.

No. But my work cafe has the cane sugar Mountain Dew and Pepsis for sale and once or twice a month, I grab one with lunch when I'm not feeling more coffee.

It's very noticeable how easier they're on the digestive tract.

I have a sodastream, so not aspartame.

But even if i didn't, are you seriously still trying to suggest that drinking regular soda would be better for my health than drinking diet soda with aspartame? You understand what Type 1 diabetes is and what it does to you, right?

My original comment was clearly meant for the average Joe Blow not people who suffer from diabetes.

Sure. And I made a light-hearted comment that I thought fully recognized that, and yet it was met with what sure seemed like further resistance and disagreement.

For me there are just a couple sodas I will drink when I do have a soda.

I always pictured you as a Tab or Fresca drinker.

 

[Nosferatu]

I was a tab drinker back in the 70's when I was at my grandparents as that's all they had.

Are you using the regular canisters they sell?

I dumped mine years ago. On ebay they sell a custom valve and tube that connects to a 20lb CO2 tank.
3 bottles a day, the tank should last a good 8 months

When Passover comes around, look for the big bottles of Coke with the yellow caps.

For Passover, Coke makes some batches with pure cane sugar. That shit is delicious.

We have Mexican Coke in bottles up here year round. Also made with cane sugar instead of HFCS. I get a couple a year as a treat. So good.

(actually, i just looked into it, and it turns out that some facilities that bottle it use HFCS instead of sugar. DUMB)

Yeah I am. Thanks for the tip. I haven't had it that long, but I'll look into it since I definitely don't get the mileage out of the canisters that they tell me I'm supposed to get. 60 litres my ass.

I rarely drink coke but my favorite one is grape soda. With alcohol in it Coca-Cola seems to go well with pretty much anything.
