jhulud Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I really need to stop drinking pop, but I also really don't like water so I don't know what else to drink. Any suggestions? My current pop intake is going to give me diabetes and rot my teeth out pretty soon, so I really need to change. I'm the same way. I've gone weeks without drinking sodas and only water and juices. It's made me feel much better. But then I get back into old habits of having Coke or Mountain Dew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skadaddy Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Been conversing with a guy on Craigslist for 2 days to pick up a propane burner he's selling so I can brew outdoors. 5 messages back and fourth and we've established a time (in 4 hours from now)...but he has still not replied with a place to meet. Come on, dude...I don't know where you live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 So what you're saying is, I'm not the only person who got sent home for wearing this shirt to high school? Nope. I got in major trouble as well for having that shirt. Ha! Still have it too. It wasn't as bad as Jack Off Jill shirt I still also have. http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mfe7Zun1xhHl0fcZSVafijA.jpg[/img/ And in big pink letters on the back said CUNT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to quit pop, then quit smoking. So much to quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 My first ever encounter with soda being called pop was back in college. My first roommate was from Minnesota. He called it pop. I had to ask him what the hell he was talking about. And then one time he suggested we order a pie. I'm thinking "What the fuck does he want a pie for?!?! Apple pie? Cherry pie?". Of course he was referring to pizza. Oh, y'all wacky gringos with your slang and regional dialects and words. Y'all crack me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This almost exact same thing happened to me when I got a job at a Teen Summer Camp in Seattle. The kids told me would should have a "pop and pie party." I thought it was a drug reference.

Guest Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 We don't say pie for pizza here, must be the other half of the midwest. It's just pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maneatingcow Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 It sucks, I've broken my no soda rule. I did so freakin' good for 8 months and now I've drank 2 2 liters in the last two weeks. After Ultimate Frisbee I've been ordering a pizza and have also ordered a 2 liter of soda. I don't know why but when I'm exhausted nothing tastes better than soda. Ah, well I need to figure out how to cut that out, and I should start working down how much Gatorade I drink. High fructose corn syrup is the worst, but damned if it is friggin amazing.

Fowty Dollaz Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I've always found the soda/pop thing interesting. Where I'm from we literally just call everything Coke. If I am in a car with 3 of my friends and I go in a store to buy us soda, I know what each drinks. So after they all say "get me a coke," I return with a Mt. Dew, a Dr. Pepper, and a Sunkist for them. It's weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I recently switched to sugar pop, so I guess it's like .0000000000001% better than the high fructose corn syrup shit, but I just need to cut it out. I rarely eat, so the majority of calories a day are from pop. I'd lose a lot of weight if I stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarcX Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Do you like tea? I used to drink waaay too much milk and it caused some probs. I discovered tea and that did the trick. I always hated soda, the carbonation is just... too much. It almost hurts. Here in Louisiana we use the word "Soda" a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skadaddy Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I kicked my soda habit a decade ago. It was a rough one. Green tea (with local honey added to it for the allergies) every morning. Water during the day. Beer whenever I can. Never got into coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
