Are you a happy soda drinker?

[Amethyste]

AaAaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... An "Almost frozen" Diet Barq's Rootbeer makes my heart sing!!!!

I didn't ever drink it for years, but my boyfriend does all of the time, so I end up taking little sips from his.

Otherwise, just hooch for me.

I don't really like the taste of plain water, they only way I can drink it is hot with slices of lemon. So I've always loved sparkling water.

Last year a friend bought me a Soda Stream for my birthday so now I have a constant supply of sparkling water that is almost free.

I have some flavouring syrups too so I can make my own flavoured soda when I feel like it, including tonic water.

No, very unhappy. I drink diet soda and I wish I could quit easily.

I started drinking regular Coke when I went away to grad school: gained 15 pounds; quit. While I was dieting the weight off, I switched over to a Diet Coke addiction, and I'd say I probably drank at least a few servings of it a day. Lately, I've gotten curious enough about all of the high fructose corn syrup hype that I've dropped the habit and switched over to water with lemon juice. It's been almost a month, and, no, I haven't noticed any sort of a difference. Ah, trend hysteria.

I rarely drink soda, I never was really into it. My parents didn't buy it for us growing up, and even in high school I preferred water. I like to get my caffeine fix from coffee or tea. I would say I have a soda every month or two, but it's rare.

I just had to come back and say that "Sprite" in the UK was SO MUCH BETTER than here. I'm almost positive theirs was straight up club soda with lemon, but it was delicious!

When I was growing up my parents ran the concessions at baseball and football games so we always had many cases of soda
on the back porch. But as kids we preferred Kool Aid.
As a young adult I liked any flavor soda as long as it was Orange Crush, Sunkist or Fanta
As I got older I drank several cans of Diet Cheer Wine a day for the caffeine.
Now I try to stick to water and occasionally Crystal Light.

I used to drink it all the time. I'm also a member of the McDonalds Coke fanclub. I've recently tried to stick with water or greentea and quick buying pop to have in the house. If we are out I might have a soft drink but we rarely eat out so it's limited to just a few times a month.

I do drink soda, but I try not to drink a ton of it. One diet coke with lunch and that's it usually. I love diet A&W rootbeer. It doesn't even taste like diet, it's just YUMMY!

I hear Diet Dr. Pepper is awesome too...doesn't taste like diet.

Ah, I see merelinda mentioned it!

Yea DDP is another good non-diet tasting choice. For me though, the A&W is where it's at.

I barely drink pop at all. Every once in a while I like a ginger ale or an IBC root beer or a Diet Coke, but that's like 4 times a year maybe.

DH is a happy Coke addict.
