I only have soda when I eat fast food. Most of them in my area are managed into the ground, but Chick-fil-A and Wendy's are consistently good. Everything is piping hot, crispy and fresh. If I go to a restaurant to sit down, which is rare, I order water or beer.

I am with you OP.

I didn't grow up drinking sugar water, so soda/pop/whatever has no value to me whatsoever.

I have probably had like 4 cans in my 26 years of living. I don't get the point of it - tastes shitty and is basically a surplus of unnecessary sugar/calories for most people.

I used to drink it more, but now I drink almost exclusively water and tea. Sure, it's nice as a treat every once in a while, but on the whole it's just kind of eh to me.

Regular is too sugary for me, once in a blue mom I'll have a regular soda more as a snack than anything. The idea of drinking it with food makes no sense to me, like eating a snickers bar on the side of your meal.

But I'm all about diet soda all day every day,, it's like fucking heroin. I think it's because I grew up with it because sugar gives my moms migranes so it was always in the house.

I'm having my first diet coke of the day right now, and it's just as good s sex

I can't resist root beer. I get a 2 liter of Barq's almost every weekend. Fuck me it is so good. If I can get my hands on some Sprechers, even better.

I drink a lot of pop/soda/whatever now that I work at a restaurant. We get it for free and it's a source of caffeine for those long days. I don't particularly enjoy it though, I very much prefer milk and beer with an actual meal.

There's a few meals for which there is a strong mental correlation with a certain drink.

Buffalo wings = beer
Pizza = wine
Old fashioned burger shoppe = fountain soda or shake
BBQ joint = ice cold sweet tea with lime

I mostly get a cold soda if I've been walking around all day and want a pick me up without a meal just yet. Walking around a theme park, little headache coming on...ahh ice cold pepsi sipped slowly over ice. I treat Coke and Pepsi as something that keeps you from feeling a little sick. They are empty calories, so need to be used as a meal replacement.

If I'm somewhere that has value meals, the drink or meal adds like cents to the price of the meal with sandwich alone, so I'll get a soda, but I'll probably sip it during the meal, and then make it last for hourssss.

Before Prohibition, you would have a beer with your meal; soda was a desert that you usually put ice cream on top of.

During Prohibition it was moved into the main course; and now it stayed there and spread to other countries.

Soda consumption varies by country and region. OP sounds like a non-American who stereotypes all Americans as soda guzzlers.

I drink it about once every 2-3 months. A cold soda can be nice on a hot day, I would never get a craving for it like I would, say, chocolate. It can go well with pizza and grilled meats. The classic 50's US meal of a hamburger, small soda, and fries can be good, though I would say in any case soda works a beer would be better.

You better not be same-fagging us with that. I'm a huge cider fan and I don't take kindly to anons spittin in mah hair and tellin me it must be rainin.

I've seen references in a few books written in the latter half of 1800's (>20yrs before prohibition) with specific references to hard or "soft" cider... But touche, yo. I never saw anything in print referring to apple juice.

Always been fascinated with cider. I know kids freak the fuck out over pop/soda, its like a candy drink, and kids are notorious for acting like crackheads when they get around sugar... But I never went for that. I had some (soft) cider when I was about 6, and its been a lifelong love affair ever since.

It was distinctly different from apple juice though, and no idea what you mean by "unfiltered". What set the two apart in my experiences was carbonation and clarity. Apple juice is always clear and never carbonated. Cider is always cloudy, sometimes even "creamy" looking, and it has just the most wonderful carbonation to it. Its like little tiny pop/soda bubbles, but still tangy, unlike stout foam. And that slight sour twang.

OT: pop sucks. It has gone the way of modern cartoons and candy. Sweeter, stupider, and less and less appealing as you get older.

Soda has its time and place. Pic related is an old school predecesor to McD's. They invented the triple decker hamburger with "secret sauce" (tartar here, mac sauce elsewhere). It was about as "50's" as you can get. Lot of the places were set up like Sonic.

They had the option to add marachino (sp?) cherry juice to your Coke. Cherry Coke basically.

That combo, burger, fries, cherry coke... It all came together perfectly. There's nothing like getting some synergy going on with your meal. Its why we pair wines. Its why its meatloaf and mashed potatos, not meatloaf and pulled pork.

Totally agree with OP. I see soda as liquid candy. It's also terrible for your system, the amount of sugar only one can of soda has, would make you vomit if it wasnt for other chemicals and additives it containes, the wost part is those other chemicals reduce the intestines capability of absorbing vitamines and calcium. look it up if you don't believe me. I used to drink soda when there wasn't anything else available, because I never liked sugary drinks, but after I learned this I prepher having tap water rather than a glass of those.

Wow. Congratulations. I am amazed that the jig is up and my mask has been lifted. I could not have been found by a better man. Any lesser of a man finding me out would be humiliating, but I bow down to you sir.

Before my defeat is solidied, I must ask but one question: how did you know? Did my trail of alternating punctuation styles and false typos not throw you off? Or were you like a hunter on the trail of a cunning animal, knowing my intention with every feign?

For years my ploy has been successful. I fear I have become sloppy with each success, but this is not an attempt to detract from your skill and respect you deserve. But maybe I have been losing my touch, or maybe I wanted to be caught red-handed.

For, you see, the life of a man in cognito is not an enviable one. My compelling arguments, my hilarious glib jokes, by caustic attacks, and my archived troll threads; none of which I may take credit for. I must accept my anonymity and take solace in the joy and appreciation that others must derive from my posts.

Please, sir, be gentle. My ass is ready.

May as well be honest.

I grew up with soda and got used to drinking it every day. That is, drinking nothing but soda, with no ordinary water in my diet and drinking milk only seldomly. I still find the sweetness to be delicious and to help wash down food in a much more enjoyable way than water.

Yes, I have developed diabetes and no, I don't continue to drink it to quench every thirst. I have managed to put water in its proper place now, even if the lack of taste was distracting for awhile.

I don't understand the need people seem to have to "wash down" a meal. Surely you would endeavor to savour the taste as long as possible and as such I see drinking of anything other than water during a meal to be an insult to the chef.

My sister prohibited soda in my house when I was around 5, so I never really had it growing up. I don't really have cravings for it, but if it's in the house I'll have a can. I probably average having soda once a month. When I go to restaurants, I normally get water because I'm a cheap faggot and soda always fills me up.

I really hate water though, I stick to tea most of the time.

... no? A taste can overstay its welcome, and some foods need to be forced down with liquid or else you get an annoying pressure in your chest, particularly if you eat too fast.

Personally, I'd rather have soda water, wine, or beer instead of corn sugar flavored soda water. Or just water and eat a little more of my non-pleb food, but I guess soda is exciting when you're eating frozen dinners and mcgangbangs every day.

That's not true, Stevia, aspartame, and others in studies have shown some negative side effects - however, Splenda, aka sucralose, has proven through dozens of studies to be fine for you.

People need to fucking stop staying this about soda. It doesn't "complement" shit, it washes away every trace of what was just in your mouth and replaces it with a few spoons full of sugar. It essentially ruins everything you just tasted.

Only time I can really drink pop is with alcohol if I feel like getting drunk, but not too fast. Pop is too sweet for me and I prefer tea much more. Homemade iced tea is a better drink than any kind of pop out there.
