Pop, soda, cola, POLL
I just gave you a cup to go to a magic soda fountain that has 4 chioces, and you have to pick one. Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Coke, Diet Coke, and Other. The Other catagory is if your favorite pop (soda, cola, whatevah) is something else, like Sierra Mist, or Dr. Pepper, or Sunkist or something. Just think about what you want, and it will dispense it for you, with the perfect amount of ice.
I have cut my pop consumption down to a max of 48 oz a week, with my favorite choice being Pepsi, second ed closely by Dr. Pepper. Diet pop?  I'd rather drink curdled camel's milk.

You get used to diet, and I prefer the bite of Diet Coke. But some days I just love a jolt of real sugar!

Where can you get real sugar?
I stopped drinking my can of Pepsi with lunch every day a couple years ago. Saves me $120 a year. Not to mention there's nothing good for you in soda. It's crap. |

I can't drink any diet pops because they give me an asthma attack (I think because of the fake sugar). I do love me some regular Coke though. Preferably not in can or bottle, but in fountain form from a restaurant.

Apparently you can order Dr Pepper with real sugar. I've never gotten around to it, but I'd be curious.

I drink soda maybe once or twice a year, usually becuase its the only beverage choice, and I don't care what kind it is - except Mt Dew. Fuck that.

What are non-diet pops made of if not sugar? Fake sugar but not diet fake sugar? What's the advantage of manufacturing fake sugar that isn't diet fake sugar? I'm so confused!

Generally they're High Fructose Corn Syrup - not sugar. HFCS is evil stuff - and from what I've read, the only advantage is that once upon a time, HFCS was dirt cheap..although I've heard that some companies are changing back to cane sugar because Corn is getting expensive due to it being used in alternative fuels. Give me some water with a slice of lemon any day.

So will the ethanol thing make it more expensive to get HFCS now? That whole alternative fuel debate just keeps going deeper!

The Dublin Dr Pepper Bottling Company still uses real sugar in their Dr Pepper. And I can tell you from personal experience that there is definitely a difference...the Dublin stuff is way better. You can order it directly from them or buy it in high-end grocery stores. Here, I can get it at Straub's. It costs more, but I think it's worth it.
I've also noticed at some of the Latino grocery stores here in St. Louis that you can find Mexican Pepsi, Coke, Sprite, etc. with sugar, at a higher price. |

You can also get "kosher for passover" versions of coke, etc. that are made with real sugar.

Most of our sugar comes from beets, I believe, very little cane.
