It's a story of why cocaine was taken out of coca-cola. Turns out racism had a lot to do with it....

Regular soda is too sugary for me.
Yeah, I'm aware of the dangers of that shit. I don't drink a lot of soda to begin with, but when I do - it's usually some sort of diet soda. Diet Dr Pepper, Diet Mt Dew, or whatever. Typically I'll just drink about 4 liters of water a day instead.RamFan503 said:X said:I kinda switch between the two from time to time. I only drink diet though, and I lean towards Pepsi.

Man - stay away from that diet shit (if it contains aspartame) - pure poison. My wife illustrated a book written by a doctor of food sciences - "While Science Sleeps - A Sweetner Kills" There are excerpts available on the web. You might give it a look. Few people know that diet drinks actually will make you GAIN weight too.
If you like Pepsi, they have a diet version called Pepsi One. It has Splenda instead of Aspartame - if you must drink diet.
Just trying to look out for yuh man.
Personally, I'm a Coke guy. Just like the little bite it has and seems less sweet than Pepsi.

Besides...diet just tastes awful to me.
