I used to drink Coke w/ my bourbon but since I dont drink bourbon anymore I rarely drink soda.

I do like an IBC cream soda or root beer once in awhile though.

Maybe, I just happen to know what I like. And that's with 3 ice cubes - not 2 or 4 but 3.

If you make your ice cubes shaped like stars you will feel like a star and many people will be in awe of you and whisper things like "oh my God havent I seen her on tv?" behind your back.

Its the little things that give you the power !

I can't drink coke since watching the Mark Thomas dispatches show on channel 4.

So now I just drink water.

When I was a kid it was either Coke or Royal Crown Cola. As I got older I found both to be too sweet tasting and switched to Pepsi.

I saw that show and ended up turning it off, it was mostly BS. All conspiracy theory bull based on half truths.

Water is good.

I was a die hard Pepsi drinker for twenty years. I suddenly gave it up five years ago when I learned that it caused incontinence for some people.

Now I drink latte's or water. Mostly latte's.

Soft drinks are definitely bad for you and make you fat, but Coke and Pepsi taste nice, whats a boy to do? I do like water as well though, I make me own fruit smoothies (yum) and the odd cup of green tea. My biggest problem is coffee though, I do drink too much sometimes.

They don't make you fat... sitting on your ars doing nothing but drinking the stuff makes you fat. Coke has been around for over 100 years, weight problems for about the last 15 years, why the gap?

Computers

Video games

less time in schools promoting activity

more tv

more take out food

Coke & Pepsi? come on too easy to blame it all on one thing.

Everything in moderation with activity.

Yeah, you are right, I was thinking of the people who sit on their bums with coke and pizza intravenously delivered to their veins, but a lot of focus on food and not on basic exercise is one of the problems why people are not getting any thinner (in general), but don't worry because when the oil runs out, people will have to run around like our parents and grandparents did.

Americans drink 13 billion gallons of soft drinks every year. But until the latter half of the 1800s, selection was limited. The usual suspects for soda flavors were cola, orange, grape, root beer, strawberry, and lemon-lime.

Oh, how times have changed! Some of the beverages listed below are still being produced, while others are now only available in the big soda fountain in the sky.

1. DraCola

This was a cola product made for "Halloween fans of all ages" by Transylvania Imports. Yes, you can still find it and, no, it isn't blood-flavored. DraCola is an ordinary cola-flavored beverage.

The number of soda

choices today can

be overwhelming.

2. Aphrodite

Cherry red with a fruit punch flavor, this discontinued soda featured a different

quote from a famous screen siren (such as Mae West) on every bottle. In addition, Aphrodite's suggestive slogan was "Get Some Tonight." This soda came onto the scene in 2002 and only lasted a few years.

3. OK Soda

This soda had a forgettable taste but a legendary marketing campaign. Aimed at

the too-cool-for-everything Generation X in the early 1990s, OK Soda purposely employed minimalist art and negative advertising to sell the drink. The Gen Xers didn't buy into the hype or the soda -- which was a pretty run-of-the-mill, cola-flavored beverage -- and OK was soon a thing of the past.

4. Celo Polka Cola

Created by the Sauk City, Wisconsin, Celo Bottling Company, Celo Polka Cola was presented to the world in 1991 to promote polka music and dancing. The jury's still out as to whether or not that worked, but you can order this cola-flavored beverage online and decide for yourself.

5. Whooppee Soda

"The Bottled Joy," a ginger ale-flavored soda, featured the innovative "Tilt-Top Cap." The best thing about this early-20th-century soda was a contest offered by the company. Up to $500 in prizes were awarded to the 24 best letters in which consumers described their "saddest, most injurious or embarrassing experience in taking off the . . . bottle crown cap."

6. Dr. Enuf

Since 1949, the Tri-City Beverage Corporation has been bottling this "vitamin-enriched lemon-lime soft drink" invented by Charles Gordon. Back in the day, Dr. Enuf was said to relieve people's "untold misery" from aches and pains, stomach disturbances, and general malaise. Dr. Enuf is still available from the manufacturer but doesn't appear on most supermarket shelves.

7. Leninade

With slogans like, "A taste worth standing in line for," and "A drink for the masses!" you can guess that there's some humor behind this "Simple Soviet Style Soda." Produced by the Lenin Company, the fruity taste pleased communists and noncommunists alike -- so much so that you can still find it online.

8. Hemp Soda

Ah, the mid-1990s, when alternative music actually meant something and everyone was discovering hemp-based products. This "herbal" soda was produced in 1996 and featured a large hemp leaf on the can. The beverage can still be ordered online from the manufacturer "Designer Food."

9. Nesbitt's Orange Soda

The Nesbitt Orange Soda Company was founded in 1938 in Los Angeles and produced its famous beverage for 40 years. Real orange zest settles to the bottom of this classic orange soda that is still available online and in some stores.

10. Brain Wash Blue

If you have trouble placing the flavor of this soda, don't feel too bad. Jalape-o oil doesn't go into many mainstream beverages, which is perhaps why this small batch soda, courtesy of Skeleteens, hasn't hit it big. If you dare give it a try, it's available online.

11. Tab Clear

If you blinked in 1993, you missed Tab Clear. The Coca-Cola Company tried to hop on the clear-cola bandwagon, (remember Crystal Pepsi?) but less than a year after its introduction, Tab Clear was pulled. Original Tab is still going strong.

12. Flathead Lake Monster

The North American Beverage Company developed this line of boutique sodas and named them for a monster said to live in Flathead Lake, Montana. Flavors include Huckleberry and Wild White Grape, among others. Limited distribution has kept these sodas obscure, though the beverages have a solid fan base.

13. Gay Energy Cola Drink

In the never-ending quest to zero in on and exhaust the consumer habits of a particular demographic, POWER Drinks, S.L. produced this energy drink several years ago. If you find a can of this beverage, you should keep it as a collector's item -- they don't make it anymore.

14. Pickle Juice "Sport"

This soda, conceived by Golden Beverages, Inc., isn't just the same color as pickle juice, it actually tastes like pickle juice, too. Carbonated pickle juice that is. Neither the Original Flavor nor the Sport flavor has sold well, and therefore, Pickle Juice is not easy to find in stores, but it is available online.

15. Orbitz

The folks at Clearly Canadian were so successful with their flavored sparkling water that they decided to take a risk. Possibly inspired by bubble teas found in Japan, Orbitz drinks featured gelatin balls floating in semi-colloidal, fruit-flavored water. Orbitz resembled a lava lamp and tasted like something you immediately never wanted to taste again.

16. Nuky Rose Soda

This light pink soda from the Florida-based Nuky Corporation smells and tastes like perfume. After all, it's made from rose petals.

17. Abali "Yogurt Original Flavor" Soda

Carbonated dairy products might be obscure to the Western world, but yogurt sodas are very popular in the Middle East, especially in Iran and Afghanistan. Most yogurt sodas are naturally carbonated, due to the magic of fermentation.

What about Tava? Anyone tried it? It's a new drink by Pepsi and it is calorie and sugar free and tastes really good (surprising, I know).

How about ‘Jolt’ cola. Their motto:

‘Twice the Caffeine and Twice the sugar than your ordinary Cola’ for those who like a Jolt.
