I don't drink 4 cokes (or any sodas) in a month!

I used to drink a lot of regular Coke (and like Erica’s teacher, it was only Coca Cola). I tried quitting for a long time. I can’t stand aspartame (makes everything taste like aspirin), so Diet Coke wasn’t an option. I tried going cold turkey, and just drink lots of water; but it never satisfied me. I craved Coke horribly. Then I started drinking flavored Arrowhead sparkling water. That did the trick! I discovered that it was the carbonation I craved! I drink 2-3 big bottles of it every day. Now, when I’m at work, I’ll buy a can of Coke from the vending machine in the morning and only take a couple of sips. The rest stays on my desk, untouched, for the rest of the day. I’ll also sometimes order a Coke to drink when out at a restaurant. That’s it, I never drink Coke at home.

You just made me spit flour tortilla chips on my monitor:p

I used to live on Mt. Dew in high school. Probably a 6pk a day. Good thing I was a swimmer.

Look Ma! No cavities :p

In the last couple of years, I have just lost my appetite for Coke. Even taking a sip is "bleh". I drink gallons of iced tea, especially at lunch (a couple of my regular places used to automatically bring me my own pitcher - they were initially surprised that I would drink the whole thing solo).

If I do have a carbonated beverage, it is usually root beer. Some things are just better with root beer (pizza for example, MUST come with root beer).

My work here is done.

That anything like rot-gut?

How dare you misquote me like that!

Just to validate you, and truly put this into perspective, being a largish person, with a fancy for cherry coke...

Regular Coca-cola is 97 calories per 8 oz
A can is 12 oz.
(for cherry the way it works is 104 for 8oz, and a can is 150 calories.)


So lets assume that regular is 140 a can...
Thats 582 calories in that four cans.

your 800 calories a day is actually low.
:coffee: Black coffee is actually better.
