my addiction to pop - Page 2

There's all those empty cans & bottles to deal with so I just don't buy it anymore.

I knew a big-cheese IBM saleman who was addicted to Coke. He would go into these meetings where people would be buying 10 million dollar computers, and there'd be a couple of cans of Coke in front of him, funny.

BUT at the beginning of the month they were out introducing it in seattle, so it is on the west coast now. you just need to go to the u.s to get it. :( (and it's apparently a limited run as well!)

ROADTRIP! I'd get some Jack-in-the-Box and Krispy Kreme (Yes I know it's here but it's on the way) and lets see... ummm... 6L Ben and Jerrys as well as Dr. Pepper to be worth the trip. :D

You can get the slurpees in select Mac's locations. Mmm... I've had a couple this summer already since I made the discovery :)

But running across the border would be worth it. For that and for sparkling vanilla cream soda by a&w. :y:

I can't drink pop, don't really like it at all. I don't drink much juice either.

All about water for me, and tea!

Try carrying a water bottle with some good water in it everywhere you go, you'll become more accustomed to drinking water you'll get used to the refreshment you get from water as opposed to pop.

^ And if you don't like plain water, my gf always puts lemon slices in hers. Yum!

Canadian springs is the best thing to have, have it at home and work and drink nothing but the good stuff all day =)

juice doesn't have THAT much sugar relative to pop or fruit drinks. real 'juice' has sugars only naturally occurring from the actual fruit. and the good thing with juice is that it at least provides you with more nutrients that you probably wouldn't be getting from pop.

'fruit drinks' or 'fruit punch' is different from 'juice', because there's a lot more sugar added into it.

I'm the same way, myra! all I ever really drink is water. I always bring one of those 1L nalgene bottles with me everywhere.

people always give me this shocked expression when I tell them that I don't drink coffee, tea or carbonated beverages.

I'm addicted to diet coke with lime.

I don't do coffee.
I like tea...but its been too nice/mugy for that lately, and i am more into cold bev's, as i often burn my tounge by being too ambitious and thirsty.

I say, dont deny yourself what you want, but maybe moderate it.

Switch up with water and coke. And if you do moderate your intake, when you do it will be soooo good.

You dont have issues..and your not alone, just take care of your teeth and stay hydrated. :)

switch to beer

I've never really been a huge pop fan myself, but I do love Dr Pepper- it's just so damn good! I mostly drink water, ice tea and juice, and I always water down my juice.

Oh Jo I know that! But most ppl think juice includes cocktails and that garbage thats only 25% real juice. REAL juice can be quite good for you (and of course better than pop). Especially that new line from Sun-Rype that is fruit & veggie blends that are 100% juice, no sugar added and contain 2 servings of fruits & veggies. They taste good too.

But even so, water > juice!

lately ive been trying to fool my tummy by drinking soda water.. its kinda worked, but i dont get that same sugar rush that keeps my day going. on the plus side i have cut down my coffee/caffiene intake. so what do u think..is coffee worst for u, or pop?

i used to drink pop every single day.. the one day i was like this is disguisting.. f this.. im drinking water forever and working out to get abs. Now all i have to do is to cut fast food from my diet.

I don´t drink coffee at all, but I drink lots of coca cola...

Goodfellow · #45 (**permalink**) Jun 20, 05

addicted to pop lol FUCK THAT SHIT

WATER , BITCHES.

you get waaay better energy from water. if you keep drinkin water throughout the day your energy is golden and you don't have that ugly come down from the caffeine. (its not overly noticable, but somewhat)

drinking a lot of milk isn't as healthy as people think it is. common misconception.

still better than pop tho, obviously
