Soft Drinks (pepsi/cola)

I have been lied to.

I was told, or like an idiot believed that "Diet Coke" was fine for your teeth. At the very least they have "no sugar" - OK, so I figured there was a catch but I thought it would only kill my insides, not my teeth, because, you know, you have to look good and let the liver take the hit. To cut a long story short, because of the carbonation, they still rot your teeth.

Despite the utter insanity, then, of drinking Cola, Pepsi or whatever, I still drink them. Voluminously. Do you? Do you regret it and go to pray to the God of Dentistry afterwards? You had better.

EDIT: Oh, so that's where the poll options are.
EDIT EDIT: DAMNIT IPB STOP PLAYING WITH THE TOPIC CAPITALISATION

No - I don't drink pop (soda, soft drinks, fizzy drinks, whatever). I'll occasionally have a rum and coke if I'm out but we don't buy pop at our house - EVER.

Yes - I knew that diet pop still rots your teeth. It still contains sugars and acids just like regular pop. Also, the dark-colored ones stain your teeth as well.

Pepsi - Honestly, I can't tell the difference between the two anyway because I never drink them. But Pepsi's advertising is generally better so that's why I picked it. :P

I'm quite like Burns, I have no fizzy drinks in my house. If I do need to buy a drink while I'm out, it's normally some kind of water, or I had a milkshake today. At home I drink milk (when my body craves the calcium and fat, yes I drink full fat) or orange juice.
Coke is particularly evil because it has phosphoric acid which increases the risk of bone breakages (apparently). I do buy Jack Daniel's and coke when I'm at a pub, but that's more to make the JD last than because I like coke.
If I had to choose though, I'd actually go for Coke. I'm not sure why, I just don't like Pepsi...

Yes I drink fizzy drinks.

Because they taste nice.

Pepsi&#33; <3

I used to drink that shit before, but not anymore. I don&#39;t want to ruin my teeths, and it does not taste good to me anymore, for some reason. I stay away from drinking anything that is too acidy.

You should have added a &#39;Fuck cola-companies, I hate them both&#39; option. Also, The acid in coke doens&#39;t Rot your teeth, it just kind of melts them away in yellow-ness.

I think Mt Dew will kill me.

I&#39;m sorry, I think you&#39;ll be singing that alone.

Duet?

I drink soft drinks every now and then but I prefer orange soda or maybe pink lemonade.

Okay I just noticed after my last post that I&#39;ve been a member for over 2 years now. Damn where does the time go?

I&#39;m a cherrycolaholic. :wino:

But I can&#39;t get it in Thailand so now I have to melt my teeth and get fat on plain old Coke- Pepsi&#39;s not fizzy enuff.

No and Yes.

Soda is possibly the worst poison in the grocery store. It is made up of natural waste products. For every ounce there is a teaspoon of sugar. That&#39;s twelve teaspoons per can.

I find it funny how people get paranoid about sugar in their coffea or tea, but then drink a large soda with 32 teaspoons of sugar in it. Diet soda is death. There are two chemicals in some of them that cause cancer, one of which was actually considered by the military for use as a neurotoxin.

Filtered water. Only way to go.

Ginger ale is my "pop" of choice (Canada Dry and Seagrams). I realize it&#39;s still made of syrup and sugar like the rest, but I don&#39;t find it has quite the sticky-sugary aftertaste that many other softdrinks do. Oh, and it can&#39;t be fresh out of the bottle - has to sit for a bit and get about a quarter flat.

As for the teeth thing - no idea if that applies.

I got a pitcher at home I fill with filtered water (and a couple slices of lemon). Sure, I drink it - but it lasts waaaay longer than a 2 liter of G ale. I tend to do water in the summer when I&#39;m just THIRSTY&#33;

Coca Cola...and no Pepsi will ever come close.

Being naturally stubborn I drink soda all the time, and refuse to believe it&#39;s damaging me until I see some evidence dammit&#33;
If something tastes good and you enjoy drinking it why not? Don&#39;t let others ruin your fun by telling you not to... until your teeth fall out. Then you should stop.
Coke vs. Pepsi... Coke wins no problem. It just tastes better, even though their advertising and corporation-ness really annoy me.

i dont like plain pepsi i prefer pepsi max as its sugar free it still rots my teeth but i feel i&#39;m doing something about it

Yes I drink them, Yes I know they rot my teeth and are still bad for me, and yes yes yes.

I still love them.

I only drink Diet soda, and I know it&#39;s damaging, but I don&#39;t drink it that much. I love soda, but I do partake in other liquids. In moderation, I don&#39;t feel it is that bad.

I drink sodas, but I&#39;ve been trying to cut back lately. I haven&#39;t had any soda in a couple of weeks.

When I do drink soda, it&#39;s normally Polar soda (They make seltzers too, but those are tasteless, blech) black cherry, most of the time, Dr. Pepper, or Cherry Coke. As for pepsi vs. coke, I&#39;ll normally get coke, but they both taste fine to me.
