I don't really care for pop or soda. Most of it's too sweet. Plus my Mom doesn't like me drinking it (shes a doc)! I do like Moxie but can't find it around here. My mom buys me NA beer believe it or not and I like it. I also have a regular beer at home now and then. I used to drink a lot when I was out with the other kids but I kinda did some stupid things.
Soda is evil. Your body can't digest it properly, and it converts to kind of a rubberized coating on the inside of your esophagus (sp?) and inhibits proper digestion of any food you might have eaten with it. I've lost 20lbs just by cutting soda completely out of my diet. I also have been able to actually get up in the morning, something I haven't been able to do ever that I can remember.
coke will eat the corrosion off your car battery. I don't drink soda too much. Although I do like vodka and gingerale. Or half wine half gingerale for a homemade cooler. I mix choc. syrup and carbonated water for a fizzy sometimes though. But in the summer I like "Arnold Palmers" half tea half lemonade with lots of ice.
we were working on an engine and didnt have any place to put the nuts / bolts / screws that were were taking off, so my friend Tyler cut off the top of a coke bottle and put all the hardware in it. It might be important to mention that all the hardware was stainless steel (not supposed to corrode...EVER) Two days later the nuts / bolts / screws were all fused together from rust. Now if coke vapors can corrode stainless steel, imagine what its doing to your digestive system.
