I’m going to piggyback off of my Project365 photo from the other day, since it’s gotten a lot of comments. Of course, many of you may have already commented and sort of answered this question over there. 🙄
I blogged about the new Cherry Coke Zero that I found at our Kroger the other day, and bought. I’ve since found it at our Super Walmart and also our Target, by the way. Anyway, we’ve tried it and we really love it. Actually, the whole “Coke Zero” thing is new for us. I was buying Diet Coke and didn’t even think to try Coke Zero. Then, I read on someones blog about it and gave it a try, and now, of course, we’re hooked.
So that’s today’s Question of the Day: Do you drink soft drinks? If so, are you loyal to a certain brand and flavor, and just drink a certain one? Which one? If not, why do you not drink soft drinks, because of the caffeine, carbonation, calories or what? Leave me a comment and let me know!
I used to drink copious amounts of them but no longer do. I am not a fan of diet drinks and gave up soft drinks on my diet due to the large amounts of calories and sugar….I’ve not gone back since. I’ll have an occasional Sprite or something with no caffeine, but that’s about it.
Soda (as we call it here) is my biggest vice. I absolutely LOVE Coke, and I’ll go with any others as well – Pepsi, 7-Up, orange soda, root beer, etc. I wish I could stay away from it, but it’s the one bad thing I’m always craving. I don’t even like chocolate, or sweets, but of course I have to loooove soda!
ps – It’s also partially why I drink so much water (about 10-15 glasses a day) – to “counter” the soda that I drink at meals. Or maybe just counter the bad habit. At least I don’t drink 7 sodas a day or something. Usually just one. 🙂
Coke here. If I drink soda, it has to be Coke. I hate Pepsi & any kind of diet soda.
I’m not a fan of diet soft drinks. Where I grew up, we say “Pop” not soda! (just had to throw that in).
I try not to buy too many sugary drinks, but I do like Pepsi, don’t like plain Coke, but I do like Cherry Coke a lot. I think my favs are Sunkist (orange) and Vernors (ginger ale). They both have strong flavors and I like that!
Does anyone remember Pepsi Kona? I used to be able to get that in the test market. I loved it, but it didn’t take off nationwide. I heard there was a Coke “Coffee” drink, but I haven’t seen it anywhere…
I don’t drink a lot of soda, when I am not pregnant, I drink Diet Coke. I don’t now, but I have a serious thing for Dr.Pepper from Sonic. And it has to be from Sonic!!
I drink diet Coke. Haven’t heard of the zero stuff. Will have to look for it next time I’m shopping. I would like to quit because I know the caffeine’s bad and the carbonation. And water’s really the best thing for us. Hats off to Michael.
I don’t drink cokes/sodas! I drink water but once in a while I’ll want one and usually have coke. I tried a small glass of your Coke Zero super bowl weekend at your house, it was good! That is the last time I’ve had a soft drink.
When I quit drinking them years ago it was mostly because of the sugar/calories….now I mostly don’t do it because of caffeine, I feel better when I don’t have too much of it!
BAD, BAD, BAD for you. Caffeine, bad. Sugar, bad.
None consumed here except on the rare occasion I am out to eat and they don’t have good iced tea and I am tired of water.
Bad soda!!
Okay…not soda, not pop, but coke. The next question is what kind of coke do you want? We have Dr. Pepper, Sprite, etc. It’s a southern thing! When I was little I had a coke everyday after school, then in 9th grade I stopped drinking them at all. Now I have about one a week…diet something. I really like Diet Big K ginger ale (got a 12 pack at Christmas and have used 3). Diet Barques root beer is good as is diet Code Red Mt. Dew. If you like cherry limeades from sonic, this is for you! SO…rarely do I drink “pop.” It’s usually a Friday night thing.
I love Coke Light. Honestly, I’ve always wanted to cut down on my softdrinks but I’ve always failed. I haven’t tried Cherry Coke before. I’m not even sure if we have it here.
This is something I’m currently *working* on! I am trying to eliminate soft drinks from my diet. This is one area I feel like I can do without! I can’t drink Diet drinks because of the artificial sweetener…mildly allergic and it gives me huge headaches. My brother is highly allergic to them also. I do have a favorite though…Caffeine free Pepsi. Regular Pepsi, too. But, I cut out caffeine when I was pregnant and haven’t gone back. Well, except for coffee! 🙂 I also like Dr. Pepper, but only occasionally! I will drink Coke and like it best over ice in a styrofoam cup. One of my closest friends always has it this way and I like it best that way! That’s really about it. I have been known to drink Sierra Mist, but I really don’t like it or Sprite. I used to drink Mountain Dew, but I haven’t had one since college in ’97. I think I just wrote a post within your comments…sorry! I’ll go now!
We drink Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Lime, Lemon, Vanilla, Black Cherry. I Like the Diet Pepsi Jazz Drinks and I do like Diet Dr. Pepper with Cherry Vanilla. Yes I drink a lot of diet soda. How else do I keep my girlish figure?
Hugs!

Love question of the day…..I drink Coke….whe I get a little crazy I splash some vanilla in it…Scott drinks Diet Coke and Madison loves Dr. Pepper…Miller of course loves Pear Juice…thought I would include the whole family.
I seriously hadn’t drank a soda in almost 5 years but then I got some new acid reflux medicine and I’ve had 2 diet cokes today. I really need to cut it out again. Max loves coke zero. That’s about all he will drink—that and fresca.
I’ve mostly stopped drinking soft drinks (or as we call them at our house — “strong drinks” — since that’s as strong as they get. *g*), but not quite completely. Although I have my favorites that I love — diet Coke, Wild Cherry Pepsi, root beer — I typically buy whatever’s on sale or the cheapest, which usually turns out to be the Kroger brand — Big K. 😉
Don’t drink a lot of “pop”, as we call it here. But I do like it once in a while. If we have a cola it’s gotta be “Coke”. I like the different versions of coke too, like vanilla coke, cherry coke, lime coke. Hubby likes the gingerale, and if we buy any for the fridge it’s got to be “President’s Choice”, a store brand in Canada. We also like ginger beer once in a while which is like a real strong gingerale (no alcohol in spite of it’s name). Burns the back of your throat.
Every once in a while I really crave a real cold grape or cream soda. Must be a kickback from my childhood.
Diet A&W root beer. Totally rocks!!!
I love Coke Zero, but it doesn’t love me. I also love Diet Dr. Pepper, again it doesn’t love me. I have a problem with aspartame. *sigh*
Have A Good Weekend!!!!
This is so weird! My husband just bought that Cherry Coke Zero and I tried it last night. I’m not a big fan of Cherry anything, but this one was pretty good.
I used to drink 2 Diet Coke/Zero cans a day, but I gave up buying them. I had read a study that said that diet sodas can actually make you fatter. Well, I’m not losing any weight now that I’ve just about eliminated them, so I doubt there is any truth to that. I switched to Diet Green Tea. I feel like it is at least a little better for me. I don’t see me going all water any time soon, so this the best I can do for now. I still enjoy a diet Coke when we go to someone else’s house or out to eat and I LOVE it!!! I know it is terrible for you, but it so darn good!
I rarely drink pop (it’s pop here in the ‘Burgh!). An occasional Diet Coke or Diet Cherry Coke around the holidays or with pizza – that’s about it. THis looks good though; I might have to try it. I’d love to tell you I”m a water drinker – it’s true, I am- but not nearly enough and especially not in the winter months. 🙁 Fun Q.
I drink coke. I used to drink pepsi for so many years and suddenly became a coke drinker. I catch a lot of grief from my hubbie who only drinks water and healthy stuff but I just wake up wanting a coke and usually go to bed after drinking coke. I also am addicted to sonic ice with my coke. It’s terrible. 🙂
Dt. Dr. Pepper fan here! I also like the Coke Zero and Cherry Coke Zero too.

I had to write on this older blog, because I am a Coke drinker. Coca-Cola Classic. I even converted my hubby from a Pepsi family to our Coke family. All soda drinks were “Cokes” and then the “what kind of Coke” question, as someone else said. I also am really allergic to the aspertame, as is my dad. We both get headaches, adn my nurse Mom is convinced it’s a super-bad thing to be putting that artificial sweetener in anyone’s body, but especially us who get headaches. So no diet for me, but my husband gets Diet, as do my kids sometimes. And Sonic ice!! what is it with that ice?
I stopped drinking soft drinks for several reasons. First, I decided to drink more water. They also have an my irritable bladder (not a real medical term)! I occassioanlly have a glass, and I feel the effects the next day (going to the little girl’s room often – like every 30 minutes). Soft drinks also have too much sugar, caffeine, and calories, and I had rather eat my calories! I did learn to drink diet coke. I craved sodas while I was pregnant and wouldn’t let myself over do it with the real thing. I would drink diet coke with Splenda.
