The teetotalers thread

I like to drink Mexican Coke by itself so that I can fully savor the taste.

Drink supplies purchased: sparkling apple juice, sparkling grape, lemon lime bitters, mineral water and poppers for the kids. Mm, delicious. And there's port, but I suppose that shouldn't be mentioned here.

I confess that I've never had root beer before. What does it taste like?

Like terrible in my opinion.

I don't know, people seem to love it, but I don't.

Root beer is the best kind of carbonated soft drink. I want to go get some from the local Mug & Bun now, if it's still around.

Ribena & Capri Sun. That is all.

I grew up on Ribena. Stuff is addictive. Unfortunately it's seriously over-sugared for my diet, now.

My root beer of choice is IBC, from the glass bottles. I don't know if it's real root beer or not, but I've been drinking it since I was six.

There's this coffee shop near where I go to college that makes absolutely fantastic mochas. I try to get at least one a week, though usually I stop by more often than that. There's another good one nearby, too, and all of its beans are Fair Trade.

And then there's the Pepsi Throwbacks. Finally, an ingredient label I can understand! :D High-fructose corn syrup's got nothing on real sugar.

I actually like High-fructose corn syrup in some drinks. I think Coke is one of the ones I prefer sugar, however.

But Mt. Dew? I tried the old fashion and decided my sugary sludge that makes me want to snowboard or grind some rails tasted way better.

Also Mt. Dew taste better in a can, Coke better in a bottle. Guess the carbonation is a tad different depending on how the drink is stored.

I prefer the ribena cordial for that reason.

Diet Coke tastes best from a plastic bottle.

I have been turned off to Mountain Dew forever.

My stepdad drinks nothing but the stuff, and he only drinks it in the single-serving bottles. Not from the big ones, and not from the cans. Single bottles only final destination.

It really does you know. Our local Safeway has started selling mini bottles of cola (smaller than the ones you find in gas stations), they taste phenomenal.

Oh and I apologise in advance for the grotesqueness of this next comment. In England there was a Red Bull knock off called Shark. It's radioactive green in colour and thus was the colour of all who drank its urine. Totally gross.... Sorry again.

Sassafras is better than root beer and the stuff they sell at the local ren faire is amazing. Otherwise I like Bawls, and ice water.

You know, Monster isn't as terrible as everyone says. Totally Radical, yes, piss taste, no.

Why is the orange creme around here so damn expensive ;_;

Monster is one of the best-tasting of the energy drinks. The Xyence ones are also tasty.

Be cautious around Spike or those new 2x strength Rockstars, which I think may be the same formulation. Those pack a punch even for the normally fairly caffeine-acclimated like me. Two of them will have me behaving as if I'm coked up.

The doctor told me just the other day that the previous doctor was totally wrong when she said I couldn't have citrus juice. Me and the orange juice in the fridge have been doing a lot of catching up. I've also been getting some enjoyment out of Sierra Mist, since I'm still not allowed to have caffeine, but I can have carbonated drinks so long as I don't overdo it.

I can't stand energy drinks.

Me neither.

The same. Has anybody ever tried to drink a whole box of Caprisuns before? Don't do it.

Ewwww.

Luckily, I wasn't the person to do it. That would be my cousin.

@nekoalexa: Yes.

I would imagine a lack of feeling in the mouth after a while.... However it's impossible to have just one Capri-Sun at a time so I can understand how it would happen.

My cousin had more than a lack of feeling in her mouth. Let's just say that she ended up having other things in there, too.

A growing society of small peoples?
