Slightly nostalgic! Can't say Pepsi was a big part of my life but I totally remember that commercial.

Y'all are old.

Coke products forever~

Also, yes.

I am old.

Thank you for reminding me.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Dec 06, 2015 1:13 am

Which commercial? The Tori Kelly or Britney Spears one?

Mickey the Luxray · Post by **Mickey the Luxray** » Fri Dec 11, 2015 1:01 am

Holy moly, this thread is nearing a year old and this is where we've gotten?

When I was but a young ignorant whippersnapper I remember going through this much in a few weeks!
don't quote me on that I've slept like 20 hours all week my memory is shot

Ah yes, the age old debate of Coke v. Pepsi... Forever steeped in a stalemate. (my view is that Pepsi is better cold than Coke, and Coke is better warm than Pepsi)

Fri Dec 11, 2015 2:44 am

back in the old days they went through this much in a day

my opinion is I prefer Coke, Pepsi is alright, and I hate my school for exclusively serving Pepsi products cause I need more variety

Q: Coke or Pepsi?

A: Royal Crown

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Fri Dec 11, 2015 8:47 am

Always coke for me. :3

Pepsi i find is lighter than coke. that's not to say it's bad since i drink it as well, but i like a heavier dose of soda. coke just taste heavier. :3

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Fri Dec 11, 2015 8:56 am

Coke for me. I can't stand the taste of pepsi.

My favourite soft drink is ginger beer though.

Post by **Obbl** » Fri Dec 11, 2015 9:51 am

Neither

I never liked the regular coke or pepsi, but I liked many of both brands' other soft drinks...
Then I discovered they make me sick to my stomach
So yeah...
That's a thing

In Germany we have "Fritz Cola". It's not that sweet and has a higher dose caffeine. The is also a variation with coffee taste. Pretty delicious. There also is a lemonade called Chabeso". It's made with lactic acid and citrus oil. Sounds strange but tastes awesome.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Dec 11, 2015 4:09 pm

Coke but I have been drinking Sprite because I like the taste though occasionally I will drink some Coke.

We have something called Schweppe's here. I'm pretty sure it's available elsewhere too but I know for sure it's here.

If you don't have it around, it's essentially lemonade with a mineral called quinine put in it, which makes it bitter, then lets the lemonade set in a sweeter after taste. It's pretty good stuff!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Dec 12, 2015 12:09 am

Pretty sure that Schweppe's is a US brand. I know that in Miriam Hospital, they give you their ginger ale to drink. Everytime my mother had to go to the hospital because of an intestinal ailment or when my grandfather was in and out of the hospital before his kidneys finally shut down, that is what I would see. Occasionally some Canada Dry.

My mother drinks something called Seagram's. Its a ginger ale and she drinks diet raspberry flavor.

Ginger ale for me.

Stop being my bizarro twin already, jeez.

As far as I read on Wikipedia schweppes is an originally Austrian company. Klater it was produced in Lindon. It's sold worldwide.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Dec 16, 2015 1:19 am

Ginger ale is yummy! I like Vernor's. Canada Dry is awful.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Dec 16, 2015 2:19 am

I'm a very bug fan of Canada Dry.

CosmicCoyote · Post by **CosmicCoyote** » Wed Dec 16, 2015 4:52 am

For me? Seagram's, personally.

Punchy · Post by **Punchy** » Wed Dec 16, 2015 6:30 am

I agree with Sleet, Canada Dry is a terrible ginger ale.
My favourites are Bundaberg and Blenheim. I used to drink Thomas Kemper, but they changed their recipe after they moved to Portland.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Dec 16, 2015 12:40 pm

"Dry" is right. Ugh.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Wed Dec 16, 2015 4:17 pm

Many years ago my dad used to drink red ginger, the one with also orange extract. I never liked its taste.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Dec 16, 2015 5:31 pm

I don't think that Canada Dry is that dry.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Dec 17, 2015 2:49 am

Bundaberg, Schweppes and Cascades all make good ginger beer/ginger ale. Kirks and Woolworths brands are almost as good.

Not sure if this has been shared already, but isn't Diss just fabulous?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Dec 17, 2015 5:19 pm

I swear to God I think Diss has somehow managed to infiltrate my dreams because I had a dream about a squirrel last night.

I know one that is worse, the Walmart brand Ginger Ale is just colored carbonated sugar water with some caramel flavoring.
I cant find a good brand and my mom usually buys Canada Dry, I think I have had Schweppes, but cant remember right now at 2am.
Also I like coke when its in a bottle and is cold. But any other time it seems that it isn't good. I also like pepsi a little more than coke in general because of that.

Maybe he's born with it, or maybe its Maybelline?

Resistance is futile, use your feelings, join the dark side (today we have cake)

Just saw this, have to share it.
It's a Star Wars parody from 1978

You're a panda. Why would you care about me joining up with a bunch of squirrels? And do you know I will do with that cake?

Radio Blue Heart · Post by **Radio Blue Heart** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 8:13 pm

I stopped drinking soda altogether and I lost about 20lbs/9kg.

Water. Your body NEEDS it.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 10:27 pm

The last time I stopped drinking soda I actually gained about 10 pounds.

Of course that could have just been the fact that I only weighed 135 pounds at the time and in the 8 weeks since I've put on about 10 pounds of muscle because of all of the pushups.

(Yes, I'm back)

At least it's beneficial weight. Welcome back Jeff, you gotta remind Diss to change your username to dark blue again.

I find myself drinking Coke and Diet Coke a lot lately, only because I'm reminiscing of my times with my internship supervisor. He liked to buy me Coke, but only from this one faulty vending machine at the university I'm doing research at. Other drinks you could only purchase normally, but with Coke, you put in RM1.50, you'd get a can and RM3.00 change xD

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Dec 21, 2015 6:04 pm

I weigh myself every night so I generally keep my weight under control. Which means I can't drink all that much soda. But I definitely drink it! Just in moderation.

WELCOME BACK JEFF!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Dec 22, 2015 1:09 am

I tried to weigh myself but I gave up on it because the scale we have is a bit broken. Said I once weighed 18.9 pounds.

Tue Dec 22, 2015 1:48 am

I tend to maintain my weight, I just need to start losing some because of past instances of gaining.
and I drink a bunch of diet soda. I know it's not very healthy but i balance it out with sugar-free kool-aid which is mostly water... I'm not the healthiest guy on the planet.

Punchy · Post by **Punchy** » Tue Dec 22, 2015 4:54 am

I've been trying to gain weight, and it hasn't been easy.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Tue Dec 22, 2015 11:05 am

Eat more protein. A friend of mine suggested taking those whey protein shakes to supplement your daily diet if you're trying to gain weight. I'm a little iffy about that prospect though, so I say stick to lean meat if your diet permits them

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Dec 22, 2015 1:23 pm

My weight fluctuates up and down but it usually stays in one range so it doesn't drop too drastically or I gain it too drastically.
