Russ, history bears out the idea that swear words get used until they're no longer offensive. You'd be surprised how many words we use today that used to be considered big-time profanity in the past.

I know something like that happened to GBA slot. My little brother spilled Coke in it, and although I cleaned most of it out, I generally need to blow all into the GBA slot before I put in a game.

Coca cola is also corrosive. Have you seen how healthy it is to human teeth overnight?

I haven't drunk a Coca-Cola, or much of any soda really, since I poured half of one down the janitors sink in middle school and saw it fizzing and corroding away the ages old grime at the bottom.

You've just scared me away from coke. For at least an hour. 😃

Actually, I don't drink soda very often. But it's too good to let go of completely.

Random fact: Prohibition was originally aimed at Coke, not liquor.

And it'll make you less sick? 😕 I prefer totally decarbonated soda, if anything. Can't stand the bubbles. I don't like Pepsi or Coca-Cola either. Root Beer, Cream Soda, or any Fruit Soda will do. Iced Tea is a favorite.

I find that Coke (not diet, but normal) helps me feel better if I'm sick. Same with my mom.

I'm happy to report I have not had a soda in 3 months. I feel so much better.

I pretty much gave up soda about three years ago and I noticed a big difference in my health. I still occasionally have one on a sunny day or rarely with my meal at a restaurant.

When I see people with 32oz soda's from fast food restaurants I cringe.

I've heard the Mcdonald's in europe don't have giant size drinks like that, but what about a Canadain Mcdonald's?

Sorry, bu tI don't go to Mcdonalds enough (enough...hahaha) to really tell you. When I DO go, It's usually because my family and I are on the road and want a quick bite to keep on going. Plus, I usually have a milkshake there instead of a soda.

I used to have a Coke each day when I first started at that game testing place (needed it to stay awake). However, I've since moved on to Arizona Fruit Punch Juice. It's not bad for your health, and it's only a buck, compared to the buck 25 for the soda. Things have been better since.

I don't drink soda just for the heck of it. I only really have it at restaurants, at my grandma's house, when eating Pizza, and when I'm having an overnight gaming blitz at a friend's (need...sugar...0_o).

Personally? I drink nothing but milk and tap water pretty much these days. Can't stand soda, bottled water is just silly, and fruit juice, while alright, isn't good in large amounts.

Arizona is all the rage lately though. It's been catching on everywhere.

@ Amaster: I thought the Arizona trend was long gone? :shrug: .. and do you have a Brita filter? I heard "tap" and thought, "straight from the tap." .. Personal whim, I suppose.

Fruit Juice though, .. argh; I could live off that for years. Bottled water too, I suppose, if it was sufficiently cold. I prefer my beverages dangerously cold to absolute zero. Semi-hyperbole-ridden statement there.

Milk. I can never quite tell if Milk has gone bad or not. To me, Milk either smells bad, or I haven't even had a chance to determine its status yet as I am already regurgitating all over the nearest object or flooring surface.

V8, I could drink without fail. Well, except for the inherent heartburn associated with tomato products. Eh, battle wounds.

Yeah, I mean, it's not like chocolate-based cereal or chocolate syrup mixed into milk would destroy its nutritious qualities, would it?

I think I had chocolate soda once. It was a mix of seltzer and chocolate milk. Easily done on your own.

I just had some Sake. 16% alcohol. Had three shots for the hell of it when I got home for the late evening. Tasted like bland'ish white wine. It's actually a bit less harsh than any other wine I've had in a long time.

I don't understand how people can stand alcohol. Just smelling it makes me want to puke. Just a few weeks ago, I had a sip of wine, and spat it out, started gagging, and almost threw up. Honestly, how can you enjoy that stuff?
