soda/pop Poll

Ok people here is a question for you.

A nice little Post a Poll.

What soda/pop do you think is better for you lighter or darker.

I normally my self i drink dr pepper.

 

I like Diet Pepsi caffeine free.

 

Prefer darker for taste, if I have any, but if for "health", skip the sodas, i.m.h.o.

 

Sure water may be a better option if you want to go healthy but after drinking plain water all day most people like to add some sweetness or taste.I kinda like different kinds though i will not drink mt dew again i drank too much of the code red one day and threw up out of know where.

Dark red drinks i think too much can be a bad thing even red gatorade drinks.

 

Refuse to waste money on any soda. A good scotch does nicely.
Cheers..

 

If you threw up out of "know where", you didn't throw up. rolleyes

 

I'm not sure I want to "know where" Goldenskull threw up.

The bed? Restroom? Subway? Telephone booth?


:-D

 

Don't drink soda much at all, but if I do there is a market in town which has "Mexican Coca-Cola". Goes well with Bacardi, and it's sweetened with cane sugar, not HFCS.

My advice, skip anything with HFCS, aspartame, or sucralose if you know what's good for you.

Truth be told, I'm pretty much hooked on Kombucha. The Gingerade flavor can be addictive and goes well with sushi.

 

Prefer water, coffee, or tea. Or Beam and coke.

 

I guess my answer would be dark too as I sometimes get a craving for Diet Coke. It's not very often though as I stopped drinking soda about 10 years ago. I tend to stick to only water but when I get bored of drinking water, I usually add one of those flavor packets. True Lemon is my favorite brand! I could probably drink 10 bottles/packets a day but that would get very expensive :-D

 

We are relatively fortunate, still in Aust., becase most of the sodas, (except for some imported ones, of course) still are made with cane sure extracts, rather than corn glucose syrup, which is one of the most refined carbohydrate intense, relatively useless substances one can consume.
How do I know this? Well, I used to be the Quality Control Chemist for Coca-Cola Amital, (the producer of Coke, etc.). That's not including the phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid and other 'goodies' it contains. (I still enjoy Coke occasionally, though.)

North America and Europe tend to use the corn syrup, because they have surplus corn, we use cane sugar because Queensland is full of Cane plantations, LoL!.

If I drink sodas, it is usually Indian Tonic Water. The Quinine content is good for the stomach and is a (mild) antibiotic. Truth is, it's usually around to make Gin and tonics with, heh!, heh!. (The diet Tonic tastes like a bunch of nasty chems., i.m.o.:yum

 

That was supposed to read "still are made with cane sugar extracts". ~Sorry!:-o

 

If it's fizzy it has to be coke, I like it as a caffeine pick me up but if I'm thirsty I'd much rather something still like that mildly flavoured water, the still fruit drinks like oasis are ridiculously sweet and don't quench anything.

 

I'm a Pepsi Max addict. Could drink bucket loads of the stuff.

 

Never drink pop, except coke when the cap falls off the bottle of rye:-D
Milk, coffee, water and the occasional beer.

 

Coffee, water, Coke. That's my preferences in that order.
