Jaytb Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 I thought I was the only one who purposely altered my soda to be less carbonated and sweet. What is your father's middle name? Some of the oddest things are hereditary. I have the exact same handwriting of an uncle I've never met. hehe. I've only started this year. First I drank soda as it is. Then I started drinking water and juice and milk instead. Then trying soda again, I thought wasn't refreshing enough compared to water, my mouth would still feel dry after drinking soda. So I came up with a compromise, soda and water. Perfect. I also like seltzer water and tonic water.
St. Nick Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Where would the United States be without coke? Coke is what helped make the U.S. a global superpower. Come on, Green, you can't hate the corporation that helped put this country on the map.
SaintDragon Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 This thread makes me crave a DR.Pepper so bad, but I can't have it..... Been near two weeks with no soda intake..just water and ice tea. No soda until I get my BP and other things under control and have a normal diet going. Even then it will be soda once or twice a week on a hot day, not 2 or 3 a day. Green isn't this strict in real life I bet...he just cares about his GF...enough to know she is drinking poison that will hurt her and he wants her to stop. I admire that, dude;)
SincereOnlineGuy Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Dating some one who drinks coke 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. My god, this is about like a thread complaining about a girlfriend using Kleenex every day. I mean, the brand name means next to nothing to the context of the post, and yet it's as if the brand name is the problem here. It's like trying to have a say in whether your gf buys "B & M Baked Beans" or "Bush Beans" when she's not cooking for you. You have zero right to a say in that, and everyone here knows it.
Holding-On Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 well there sure have been a lot of posts. I read them all but am not in the mood to take the time to respond to each individualy. Most all the posters seem to come down on me for feeling this way. Personaly I do not believe she will ever stop drinking coke every day unless she decides to her self. If I tell her coke is bad for her ect. and that it bothers me and she should stop it will just cause fights and she will probably continue drinking it. I still wish she would stop, and it did anoy me to watch her drink a can with dinner last night. The truth is she seems very healthy and looks great. We are both still in our twenties though. I worry about her in the future. Seriously I relize even a person who eats healthy can still get very sick. But I just feel her highly processed food diet is going to lead to disaster. I do see coke as that symbol. My gf rarely drinks alcohol, she eats fish but other then that is practicaly a vegitarian other then the dairy prodects and ocasional egg. She likes Salad. I guess my major complaints are the frickin coke/ white bread / highfructose mornings include cereals and frozen wafles and highfructos aunt J syrup. My point is I am venting, I know better then to think I can make a change for her she should make for herself. I realize that she's human and she does do a lot of things healthy even if she drinks coke and has cereal or what ever for breakfast. I just wish I could change the way she thought about that stuff. Get up before she does and make her some lovely whole wheat waffles and splurge on real maple syrup. Then you won't have to watch her eat junk.

That sounds a lot more reasonable. I also drink a lot more coke than is healthy for me. One thing that's helped is that Pepsi came out with Throwback -- made with real sugar rather than HFCS. It's so much better than the HFCS version that I find it hard to drink the regular version and Throwback is somewhat hard to find -- so less soda for me when I can't find the sugar-version. Also, I read a study about the long-term effects of HFCS and it's disgusting so that's reinforcing my attempt to stay off HFCS.
