Coca-Cola Versus Pepsi

I also saved a ton of money, because water is relatively free.

I doubt it speeds up the process that much if you only have a can once in a while. I certainly don't have soda everyday, so I'm sure that's not what's gonna kill me.

I went through a phase were I was about 2 years without touching soda at all. Not that I'v ever been an addict or anything close to that, but I just lost interest in it and dropped the habit. Then one day I decided to drink Coca-Cola for the old times sake and went back to drinking soda occasionally.

Water is relatively free, yea. But I always buy it bottled anyway. Don't like the taste of tap water that much.

I was addicted to it as a kid but almost never even touch it now. I still remember when I was a teenager I used to have at least one Super Big Gulp every day and now even thinking about that makes me wanna vomit.

We used to get those old three-liter bottles of Coke back in the day, and when my Mom really wanted to "punish" me she would pour it all down the sink. It took a while to get away from it but I'm glad I did. It's like I can feel the sludge "crawling" all over my teeth whenever I have it now, and I immediately need to rinse my mouth out with water. It's just gross to me.

Not at all.

Coke 1000%. Pepsi tatstes like watered down coke. and Dr. Pepper goes flat too fast.

Down the sink? Well, they do say that soda, Coca-Cola in particular, is good for pipe cleaning. I wonder if it's one of those myths like Coca-Cola stopping diarrhea.

I drink at least one can of soda every day and one full liter of Pepsi/coke every night for dinner for the last 15 years.

Soda isn't like smoking, alcohol or drugs...it's not going to kill you.

[Leo656]

Actually, it will, but not as fast.

You know, everyone likes to make jokes about how they picture you as the guy in your signature, but after this post, I sincerely hope you look half as healthy as he does.

[Prowler]

...I honestly can't imagine drinking a full litter bottle of soda a day... how is that even possible? And you've been doing it for 15 years and it hasn't hurt your health? I call bull on that.

[Leo656]

Part of me feels like he's just working his "internet weird guy" gimmick.

Cybercubed, the Technodrome's greatest heel.

As to the topic at hand I'm a Dr Pepper man, myself.

[Blossombrooks]

I gotta ask Cybercubed, do you still have all your own teeth??

After one glass I can feel the sugar attacking mine. I like coke best but I rarely drink it these days, a) because of the teeth thing b) it sets my asthma off. I like it, it doesn't like me.

[ZariusTwo]

Coke is a rarity for me, I'm mainly addicted to Pepsi and don't go a day without drinking at least four cans per day, I try to balance it out by drinking apple juice and orange and mango concoctions though.

[Jester]

I've heard many juices are just as bad...sugar wise...for you.

Literally everything gives you cancer.

Again, why speed things up?

My sister's been drinking at least a six-pack of Pepsi every day for about 20 years. Between that and the pack or two a day of cigarettes, she lost almost all of her teeth before she was 30. It's a real shame, she's only going to be 40 but she looks almost 60.

Because everyone has their vices. And like he said, literally walking around outside for too long can give you several forms of cancer. Might as well enjoy the ride.

[Leo656]

Hey, if people genuinely "like" guzzling gallons of acidic sugar water, that's their problem, not mine.

1 liter isn't that big really. I've been drinking Coca-Cola since I was 2 years old. I still drink my water and a bottle of gatorade almost every day though.

From about the age of 13 or so I drank soda virtually all the time. Throughout all my teen years and into late 20's I drink soda daily.

I've had some cavities over the years but its probably from everything I eat rather than one thing. I drink soda with a straw so I make sure it doesn't stay on my teeth and usually wash out my mouth with water as soon as I'm done eating.

Soda won't kill you unless you have other health problems. Thank god I am not diabetic and weigh 135 pounds, I feel sorry for those overweight rednecks who live on Medicaid and in a trailer down south with like 6 kids.

I will go for Dr. Pepper any day before picking up a Coke or Pepsi. However, if Dr. Pepper is not available, I would go for an uncola or a root beer.
