Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: Bill D Date: 06 Mar 11 - 08:39 PM Jones sodas... nuff said ..and yes, Beer... there was one of those machines at a local gas station near me 55 years ago, but we only seldom got to try the straw trick, as it was right in front of the building....but the IDEA was instantaneous! |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: Jeri Date: 06 Mar 11 - 08:13 PM Jack, you say that as if you didn't like milk! Seriously, I love almost anything dairy. Milk, cream, butter, cheese, yogurt. I probably will have osteoporosis one day. Oh well, no soft drinks involved. Ad, I tried some of the "throwback" Pepsi (sugar, no hi-fructose corn syrup) with Black Seal rum. HORRIBLE! There's an aftertase of licorice. I like licorice, but not in my rum & cola. Meyers works better. Anyway, the "throwback" Pepsi is less unhealthy, but I don't think I like the flavor that much. Luckily, I don't drink sweetened soft drinks very often, and usually prefer ginger ale. One thing I once drank that surprised me by tasting pretty good was celery soda. |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: GUEST,999 Date: 06 Mar 11 - 08:12 PM When I was younger, the calcium in milk products were touted to be beneficial for bone development. So, I'm wrong. |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 06 Mar 11 - 08:08 PM Factors influencing osteoporosis include amount of sunlight, vitamin D intake, protein, exercise, etc. Recent research indicates that vitamin D helps calcium adsorption. Directly relating dairy products to osteoporosis incidence is not valid. |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: GUEST,999 Date: 06 Mar 11 - 07:43 PM I read somewhere that the five countries in the world with the highest per capita rates of osteoporosis are also the five biggest consumers of dairy products--a finding that is shocking. |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: Little Hawk Date: 06 Mar 11 - 07:40 PM I eat fish eggs regularly when I eat at Japanese restaurants. So what's the problem??? I didn't mention milk, because it's not a soft drink. If we're going to mention all kinds of drinks, then milk (cows' milk) is my choice for the very worst. It's awful stuff, no good for your health, tastes lousy, causes congestion, screws up your digestive system, just generally fucks you up bigtime, in my opinion. I don't drink it. I find it ludicrous and tragic that I live in a civilization which tries to get human adults to drink cow's milk every day of their lives. |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: Beer Date: 06 Mar 11 - 07:39 PM I'd drink Pepsi before coke any day. Except with rum that is. For some reason Pepsi just does not taste right with rum or any other alcohol. Short story, but to protect the innocent i was just an observer. Remember those dispensing machines that you lifted the cover placed your coins in a slot then take the bottle by the neck and drag it through until it came to a holding area and you would lift and the latch (door) would pop up and you would take your drink out? Well they installed one of those in our high school and in a few minutes all the bottles were emptied without leaving the machine. A simple bottle opener took care of the caps and a straw took care of the drinks. Needless to say the soft drink machine was remover shortly after. ad. |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: Bill D Date: 06 Mar 11 - 07:26 PM Coke has more... ummm.. 'zing'. I worked at a place that had only Coke in a machine, and I drank Coke there for 3 years. I just prefer Pepsi...though I ONLY buy it on super sales anymore. The price has gone thru the roof.(I think the 'regular' price has almost doubled in the last 7-8 years. If I want a cola, and there's no sale on Pepsi, I'll buy Safeway's house brand...or just drink iced tea. "... but there's a load of fish jizz in the water." I have a filter....**grin** |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: Jack Campin Date: 06 Mar 11 - 07:19 PM Milk. Whose bright idea was it to get sentient life forms swallowing the glandular exudate of enormous smelly farting ruminants with chronic diarrhoea? Closely followed by tea with milk and coffee with milk. |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: gnu Date: 06 Mar 11 - 07:11 PM Pepsi. I don't like any of them but I never heard of a guy named Coke. Pepsi? Yah. Pepsi Landry is my city councellor. If his name was Coke Landry I woudn't have voted for him. |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: Little Hawk Date: 06 Mar 11 - 06:55 PM I prefer water and/or Green Tea to most other drinks, but I am partial to various fruit juices. Barely ever drink any carbonated drinks at all, but I thought it would be fun to single out Pepsi as the worst of them. Even back when I did drink soft drinks a lot, it was Coke I favored. I really did not like Pepsi at all. As for the diet sodas, I never drank them by choice. There's some interesting literature out there about the chemicals and harmful substances that go into making them. |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: Jeri Date: 06 Mar 11 - 06:50 PM Yeah Bill, but there's a load of fish jizz in the water. It's worse, though, because beer has water in it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: Bill D Date: 06 Mar 11 - 06:48 PM I think fish just lay eggs that are fertilized without them touching.... but it's a classic reason. ☺ Even better: Guy says "I tried Scotch & water... got drunk... tried Bourbon & water...got drunk. Same thing with Vodka, Gin. The common element was water, so I'm gonna give it up." |

Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: GUEST,999 Date: 06 Mar 11 - 06:40 PM I've stayed away from water ever since I found out that fish fuck in it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: gnu Date: 06 Mar 11 - 06:12 PM Water, skim milk, alcohol... and one of them isn't good for you... why would you drink anything else? |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: Bill D Date: 06 Mar 11 - 05:52 PM Now I understand, Little Hawk.... *I* favor Pepsi.... worst...well, some of sickly-sweet things imported from Latin America. |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: Little Hawk Date: 06 Mar 11 - 05:49 PM Oh, yeah...diet drinks. Yuck!!! They're even worse for your health than the regular stuff, and they taste worse too. ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: gnu Date: 06 Mar 11 - 04:36 PM Gatorade... nobody but jocks... or people with intestinal flu or those about to have an innuendo. Gatorade is good stuff if you need it. As for sugar stuffed and carbonated or not crap, including pure fruit juices, saving cranberry or grape juice, why? |
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Soft Drink Ever From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 06 Mar 11 - 03:48 PM Does anybody actually drink Gatorade, or is just used for giving winning Head Coaches a fluorescent shower in the NFL? |
