Why is Coke so darn tasty?

[icecream]

I do agree that coke is tasty, but in this order:

1. Glass bottle
2. Can
3. Fountain
4. Plastic bottle

how about off mirror too?

I don't know how people drink coke like it's water.  I feel slightly ill after drinking just one 12 oz can.  Goes to show how different people's metabolism's can be.

With me it could be that I was raised on soda my Dad drinks Mt Dew and My Mom drinks Dr. Pepper so from the time I was little I was drinking soda.

As an aside I hate water it literally makes me gag when I have to drink just plain water.

you wouldnt have fared so well in cave men times

I think I'd do better than you Icecream. I can drink it if I have too. But what would you do without your beloved frozen treat eh?

Chop your breakfast on a mirror, eh?

I like my Coke in a can...I like the aluminum taste on it.

I like my beer out of a tap, in a glass...but if I'm at an American dive and have to drink American piss water, then I drink Coors Light most of the time (or Scotch!).

I'm trying to get off the soda (Dr. Pepper) since becoming diabetic.  So far no dice.  My willpower sucks and soda is sooooooo good.  Haven't found a diet I can live with yet.  :(

The sugar and caffeine in soda are both very addictive.  Try to cut down over time, using a scheduled plan for quitting and moving to another beverage (maybe tea with splenda or something?) would make things easier.

I'm working on the tea thing.  1 glass of soda, 1 glass of tea.  Then I'll try 1 glass of soda and 2 glasses of tea.  It's harder in the winter.  Thanks for the advice. :)

I always said that if I ever needed a blood transfusion, just hook me up to an IV of soda.  :laughing:

My grandpa have an IV-thingy that held whiskey when I was growing up.  Of course when I was a little kid I thought it was actually an IV...not I know better!  lol

i thought you couldnt have sugar at all when diabettoc

Maybe not if you have severe type 1 diabetes, but most diabetics have less severe forms. I have mild type 2 diabetes, and I still have stuff with sugar in it (such as, ahem, ice cream). I just have to watch how much of that stuff I eat, and make sure to get regular exercise. I did have to switch from regular soda (I used to drink close to a 12-pack per day of regular Coke) to diet soda, and lately I've had to start taking medication (Metformin) to control blood sugar, but I can still eat some sugar. In the summer, I ride between 100-200 miles per week on my bike (most of it in hilly terrain), so I can get away with more sugary stuff (and more stuff in general).

Good for you.  I wish I was that disciplined.  :w2go:

She liked Cola, too. At least it said so in the book. So you're in good company, Quis.  :)
