Green Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Seriously I find daily soda drinking, coke among that very anoying. My gf drinks a coke usualy atleast once a day. Seriously in my mind coke is one of the companies/foods I hate in life. I wish there was some way I could get my gf to stop drinking Coke. I hate coke!!! Seriously its almost as bad as smoking daily in my opinion.
St. Nick Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Um, ironically, I actually work for a Coke franchise, how about that? Our company is said to be the most recognized brand in the world. Cool, isn't it? So your girl likes coke? How about getting her to do some ads for us, like Subway Jared? Gimme her number and I'll see if I can get her on some commercials.

GorillaTheater Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I only drink Pepsi or RC. I say kick her ass to the curb.
DustySaltus Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I only drink Pepsi or RC. I say kick her ass to the curb. They still make RC? I drink cherry coke but only at the movies with popcorn. Green, why do you hate it so much?

If you guys would take out that cheap, crappy, high fructose corn syrup and replace it with cane sugar, I'd consider drinking it again. As for the OP, soda is bad news for for health/fitness. People have a hard enough time staying in shape without soda. It's nothing but sugar, well not even sugar, it's corn syrup which is even more gross. It's a terrible habit, if she's drinking it everyday. I don't blame you, it would drive me crazy as well.

alphamale Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Seriously its almost as bad as smoking daily in my opinion. its not as bad as smoking, come on
phineas Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Only time I drink cola is when it's mixed with something.

Seriously its almost as bad as smoking daily in my opinion. Some people need caffeine to stay focused during the work day. I don't drink coffee or tea myself, but I need to drink some other caffeinated beverage so I drink Mountain Dew. I don't see what the big deal is. Drinking soda is not even in the same ballpark as smoking.

I'm sure she'd love to do some ads if the price was right but as I'm not in the habit of giving out my gf's number I'll pass. could be worse... like diet coke when she starts snorting the coke up her nose- that's when you need to worry! Yes diet coke would be worse. Seriously though I believe all the hype about how bad soda is for people. I only drink Pepsi or RC. I say kick her ass to the curb. I really don't think any one should drink soda on a regular basis even if it were a different brand. I'm not going to kick her ass to the curb for drinking soda. They still make RC? I drink cherry coke but only at the movies with popcorn. Green, why do you hate it so much? I hate it so much because I worry about all the bad things I hear people are at risk for when they drink soda on a regular basis. If you guys would take out that cheap, crappy, high fructose corn syrup and replace it with cane sugar, I'd consider drinking it again. As for the OP, soda is bad news for for health/fitness.

It's a terrible habit, if she's drinking it everyday. I don't blame you, it would drive me crazy as well. corn syrup is just one of the big reasons I don't agree with regular soda consumption. I think he works for 7UP! Those bastards! I don't work for any big corporation. If I did have a job with a soda company I still wouldn't be cool with daily consumption. its not as bad as smoking, come on No, its not as bad as smoking regularly, but drinking soda every day is a bad habit. Only time I drink cola is when it's mixed with something. haha Some people need caffeine to stay focused during the work day. I don't drink coffee or tea myself, but I need to drink some other caffeinated beverage so I drink Mountain Dew. I don't see what the big deal is. Drinking soda is not even in the same ballpark as smoking. The big deal is its really unhealthy, and I don't enjoy seeing her drink the stuff. She doesn't drink it at work, its at resteraunts or with dinner usualy when she does. At least she isn't sniffing coke. Yeah atleast that. Look she is a great gf and maybe I should just let it go. The fact is I have let it go as in I'm not going to anoy her with food and drink choices. It still does bother me when she buys it and drinks it though.
aerogurl87 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Wow, you hate she drinks soda everyday... Look smoking is obviously bad, lots of alcohol is bad, and drugs is... well you get the picture. But soda? Really? I mean if you follow the health nuts and what they say then everything is bad for you. Too much exercise is bad for you, too much water is bad for you, too much of anything is bad for you. If she drinks a coke everyday at work, nothing wrong with that. It's not like she's downing a whole gallon a day.
sweetjasmine Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Too much exercise is bad for you, too much water is bad for you, too much of anything is bad for you. The difference is that the right amount of water and exercise are actually good for you. (And, yes, too much water can be harmful - hyper-hydration - and too much exercise can actually increase your risk for things like heart disease.) There's no nutritional value in soda. It's corn syrup and fizzy water, and consumption of corn syrup is considerably worse than consumption of regular cane sugar. I don't think a can per day is a huge deal, but it is an unhealthy habit.

aerogurl87 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 My point was it wasn't such a big deal IMO. But hey I don't drink soda, I prefer my apple juice and water any day.
Lauriebell82 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 You said she only drinks one coke, what's the big deal then? She's not asking YOU to drink it. And why don't you just ask her to not drink it in front of you if it bothers you that much? Seriously, I think you overreacting a tad here. It's not like she is doing drugs or getting trashed all the time.
White Flower Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Seriously My gf drinks a coke usualy atleast once a day. Seriously in my mind coke is one of the companies/foods I hate in life. At least she ain't drinking that sweet Pepsi s***.

If she drinks a coke everyday at work, nothing wrong with that. It's not like she's downing a whole gallon a day. I realize its not the end of the world, but still it really bothers me to think about her drinking what I consider poison. The difference is that the right amount of water and exercise are actually good for you. (And, yes, too much water can be harmful - hyper-hydration - and too much exercise can actually increase your risk for things like heart disease.) There's no nutritional value in soda. It's corn syrup and fizzy water, and consumption of corn syrup is considerably worse than consumption of regular cane sugar. I don't think a can per day is a huge deal, but it is an unhealthy habit. I just really hate how important coke is. How we always have to have the place and fridge stocked with coke. Seriously, I really hate what has happened in the US involving corn. The corn syrup in coke really bothers me. Not to mention the fact that we feed corn to cows and use corn for so much. When did corn stop being a food for humans and instead become this processed comodity used as artifiical sweetners and animal feed and starch only purposes. hey, G can have strong feeling about coke. and it is more the HFCS aspect of it, and i can certainly say i have second thoughts about HFCS and the health risks. it is better G rants here. I try not to rant about it with my gf. Just let it go. Only young men have such minor pet peeves. One day you'll discover how easily replaceable you are. Just let it go. Enjoy a cold can of coke! Quite the hopless romantic you are. My point was it wasn't such a big deal IMO. But hey I don't drink soda, I prefer my apple juice and water any day. I just wish I could convince her atleast to cut back to one can a week or none. You said she only drinks one coke, what's the big deal then? She's not asking YOU to drink it. And why don't you just ask her to not drink it in front of you if it bothers you that much? Seriously, I think you overreacting a tad here. It's not like she is doing drugs or getting trashed all the time. It does bother me a lot, she knows it. I really can't ask her to not drink it infront of me if she is having it with her meal and we are eating togather. I wish she would just cut way back or preferably stop drinking soda. She knows I feel this way. At least she ain't drinking that sweet Pepsi s***. Yeah I guess.
laRubiaBonita Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I really don't think any one should drink soda on a regular basis even if it were a different brand. I'm not going to kick her ass to the curb for drinking soda. OP, if her habits truly bother you that much, then break up with her. I dare you. It's a deal-breaker for you, no? no- he said it wouldn't.
SaintDragon Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I hear ya, Green, it is poison and I am a "EX" soda drinker. I have put a stop on all soda intake. My health depended on my quitting it. I was a chronic 3 plus sodas a day drinker. I truly believe that chronic soda drinking these days is caused by stress. What I mean is, it's like an "Adult pacifier" something that is easy and you can suck on it for a bit of stress relief. Also people that quit smoking I believe take up soda drinking as an alternative...something they can look forward too when a cigarette is out of the question. I say this, because I see SO MANY people drinking soda all the time...it really is sickening when you think about it. I know for me it was an easy thing to crack open and just have around...I drank out of stress and boredom. The stuff is poison....my BP went dowm quite a bit after stopping intake of it. I will never drink soda that much in my life ever again. I see how your GF is annoying you...I get it ...She's drinking poison but she has no clue..buying cases and 5 jugs of it every Friday night.
CLC2008 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I'm sure she'd love to do some ads if the price was right but as I'm not in the habit of giving out my gf's number I'll pass. Yes diet coke would be worse. Seriously though I believe all the hype about how bad soda is for people. I really don't think any one should drink soda on a regular basis even if it were a different brand. I'm not going to kick her ass to the curb for drinking soda.

She's a "great" gf and you have an issue with her because she drinks coca-cola? Geeeeeesh. I broke up with my girlfriend because she drinks soda. Boy if I found that out, I would be spiking all your drinks with soda.
AD1980 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Ehh everyday they say something else is bad for you who knows..Anyhtign in moderation isnt terrible I love Cherry Coke..Id rather take a year of my life off and eat and drink things i enjoy then live a little longer eating and drinkign things that taste like garbage but are healthy is my mindset..
Fouts Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Enjoy a cold can of coke! Exactly, have a Coke and a smile !
