Does it show?

My reasons for despising soda companies and their products are pretty well described in trouserjazz's post:

Soda companies prey on humanity's weakness for sugary crap foods, encouraging people to make the bad choice of guzzling down sugary, acidic, caloric drinks devoid of any other nutrients.

Meanwhile, publically funded food science departments at universities spend money on research aimed at reducing the costs of producing high fructose corn syrup so that sodas (and other junk food) are cheaper. Then the soda companies benefit monetarily while charging people large sums for essentially sugar water. The people end up addicted to caffeine in Pepsi and Coke, leading to perpetual consumption and greater risk of obesity and type II diabetes.

No oh no! Don't tell me the companies have gotten to you!?! You are lost, man. Lost. First it's Coke and Pepsi. Next it'll be coffee, jitters, irritation, and gum disease.

Ha no. I drink it, but not that often, certainly not often enough to be considered addicted.

But it still tastes good

edit: just realized that out of context it would sound like we're talking about alcohol.

When it comes to Coke and Pepsi straight up I prefer a Pepsi. but Coke has pretty off products then pepsi by far!

My Favorite Sodas used to be Pepsi and Mountain Dew but since I switched to diet sodas a year ago.

I am hooked on
Cherry Coke Zero (Amazing!) Ive had friends come over and not notice they were drinking diet

Chery Diet Dr Pepper ( This might be the best diet drink out there)

Diet Mountain Dew ( this is my coffee in the morning, I needs the caffeine not the best drink though)

I will drink diet coke if I got to, but Diet pepsi no way.
