so I gave up soda

Just finished my fifth Dr. Pepper of the day.  It was better than the fourth but not as good as the first.

I have to admit to enjoying a rare occasional caffeine free diet cola.

I ended buying Propel Zero. It has zero calories in it. Here's to hoping it works without unexpected side effects.

As one who just finished his 3rd Diet Mountain Dew, I agree with you..it's always great when you have the first, but it wanes a bit when you get to the 3rd 4th or 5th..Diet Dew is great, tastes dang near the real stuff, and with that great green glow to it too!

  This thread keeps reminding me of that Primus album.

another non-soda think that people may want to use is something I found today called Jones Gaba

I drink whatever's available, usually. Ive been trying the sugar free flavored seltzer waters, which are pretty good and cheap to buy. Also, Ive been drinking iced tea, the storebought kind, which isnt much better at all than soda but somehow makes me feel less guilty.

One thing I have tried, which does work for me, is the homeade tea-bag iced teas, which you can control the amount of sweetness, using honey or sugar substitutes like stevia. Also, you can use different types of tea, like green tea (which has a ton of health benefits) or chamomile (which tastes awesome and has no caffiene, though probably something you should drink at night, as it can knock you out).

I almost never drink soda.
About once every 2 months.

My dayjob is a chemist and I'm fully aware of how bad soda is for me. That being said dichloromethane is bad for me too and I exceed my exposure limits almost daily. Between the two the dichlo will probably kill me first so I drink up on the pop (yes, I call it pop, thats because I'm a hoosier).

If you want to give up soda, try drinking MOXIE.  It may be the worst soft drink known to man.

I tried MOXIE once out of curiosity. It taste about as good as its logo suggests:

You know what I like about soda? I don't drink it very often, but because of that, they taste so damn good when I do. I drank a Coke yesterday for the first time in about a month. It tasted so good, I look forward to next month's Coke.
