I'm holding out for when they put the original "coke" ingredient back in Coke®... :shock: :D

For all we know, it's ALWAYS been there. :shock: :shock: How else can we explain its absurd popularity? :lol:

I'll go with that. There is a family owned Mexican restaurant here where I live that's been here almost 50 years. The only thing you order with their combination plates/platters is a Dr. Pepper. It was much better when I was a boy, when real cane sugar was used for the sweetener, so that you actually had some texture on your tongue as well as the flavor of the Dr. Pepper, but it's still the thing to order. They tended to turn up the syrup setting a little bit on their soda fountains, so it was a really good strong one at that.

Depends on the time of day. Diet Pepsi or Diet Dr. Pepper in the morning, or before I have eaten anything that day. Diet Coke after that.

Didn't you forget the two most popular offbrand sodas in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam?

Tribeco and Bidrico...

If you decide to visit, don't economize and buy these brands...

Take my word for it...

They have found a way to take real kola nuts (for the cola), real lemon and lime (for the lemon-lime), and real vanilla beans (for the cream soda), as well as whatever it takes to make sarsaparilla (no root beer here), and make it literally taste like bile. (That's the basic ingredient of puke for those who never heard of bile.)

I have only bought each brand three times (one flavor each). They all taste the same.

Actually, no. At least speaking for myself. I would consider it impossible to forget something which one never knew.

This wasn't one of the original choices offered. Diet Dr. Pepper would be my number one choice, actually.

My approach to this kind of question:
If You can´t live with the REAL ingredient (i.e. sugar, alcohol, fat, or whatever it is a DIET-something product attempts to replace), chances are you can´t live with the replacement either.
Just imagine what kind of ingredient will make a diet sausage taste (and, for that matter, FEEL) "real" !!

I´d guess it´ll be better to use plain (sparkling ?) water, maybe give it a dash or two of fruit juice of your choice (if you HAVE to) and be done with it. Cheaper, healthier, better for liver, tummy and kidneys, and the best thing: calming down violent environment activists.

If those are my choices, give me some water. Maybe even with gas. :wink:
