Orange juice in the morning and water throughout the rest of the day. Not bottled, either. Nalgene bottles are the best thing ever. I also throw in some of the Gatorade powder stuff for workouts.

I personally can't stand Coke or Pepsi at all. I just think it tastes bad...

Ice cold water is the best non-alcoholic drink ever.

seltzer is the best potable liquid. do not drink sugary soda. your teeth hoss

OJ has too much sugar for me. I live on tea: green tea, herbal tea, black teas, red/rooibos, white tea, you name it (except chamomile - nasty shit).

I recently found a milk that has had the carbs reduced. It is real milk, but only has 3 carbs in 8 ounces (all sugars, but regular milk is 13 carbs and 12 sugars per 8 ounces). Combined with some low carb ice cream, sugar free syrup, and some cholesterol free egg whites, it makes a great milkshake. And it is perfectly drinkable as is. Tastes like somewhere between skim and 1%.

See, the one thing about irrational bigoted reactions to things is that they often have little to no substance among those spewing them. Coke will come out on top of this with minimal if any harm to their market consumer base.

You should try the east coast famous coffee milk, Draug... it's fabulous.

@y2k ... of course they will, it's Coke. If the fact that their products incessantly rot your teeth and gum line doesn't make people avoid them, or the many other easy criticisms of their corporation, translating the words of Katherine Bates (who, by the way, was a lesbian that left the Republican Party because of their anti-immigration stance) isn't going to do anything.

Then again, maybe the people that reacted so harshly will now avoid Chick-fil-A and Coke, since Chick-fil-A only serves Coke products, and significantly reduce the diabetes numbers in the USA... I guess I could live with that.

i actually dont know what the fuck bo_sox48 is talking about i just know sugar is bad for your teeth

The Super Bowl commercial, tendmote. Look it up and watch it, then look up the reactions. A lot of them are really funny.

still waiting to see this backlash

looks like a bunch of tryhard progressives manufacturing outrage to me

I don't live in the US, and even if I did I wouldn't care about the Super Bowl. Nonetheless, I am interested to learn about US culture.

Am I correct in thinking that it has become a yearly tradition for US conservatives to kind of randomly select a commercial that is broadcast during the Super Bowl and then spend the next week denouncing it and being outraged about it? Is this tradition similar to them yearly defending Christmas against the imaginary people that wage imaginary war against Christmas, which as I understand is Merry but not a Holiday.

I may be getting some of this wrong, not living in the country myself, so please enlighten me.

I don't like coke (Pepsi throwback ftw) so I don't care either way

I drink Faygo at my Juggalo gatherings. Otherwise I don't touch soda.

Did I miss where bo_sox became obiwan?

Anyway, drink Dr. Pepper.

@Oscar, go away!

I love soda, I probably have 16 oz of it a day on average.

Coke will be fine. This "backlash" is nearly entirely fabricated.

@bo - I don't like coffee and I somehow doubt that a coffee flavored milk is low in carbs or even just sugars.

YESS!! DR.PEPPER FTW!!! but as for drinks besides soda, I would probably say Vitamin Water is pretty good! although most will disagree with that statement

For energy drinks, Monster makes some great sugar free flavors. I just don't care for carbonation much, so teas and non-carbonated or minimally carbonated energy drinks work best for my taste buds.

2nd....please tell me you were joking about being a juggalo, because I know you live a short while away from the biggest juggalo gathering in the country.

"@Oscar, go away!"

Thanks Draug. I'll take that as a confirmation of my understanding of these traditions.

I'll let my hatchet throwing skill speak for itself.

As far as Coke and the SB XLVIII commercial, I personally found it to be a great commercial. How *anyone* can have a problem in the land of the free with a commercial promoting our freedom to be ourselves is beyond me, but the teabaggers must find something to bitch about.

@Draug ... of course not. It's probably gross for you.

@semck ... yeah, I'll give you that one.

"land of the free" unless you're black.

This Forum cracks me up.

Carry on zealots....

Yeah, I'm sure the 3.9% of blacks in Canada feel *reallllllly* welcome there...

Sorrrrry....that. 2.9% black...

Canada and the USA both have obvious problems with racism.

@bs - I'll tell you what we BOTH don't have obvious problems with.

Inane platitudes.....

Hang on, let me just ask my Algonquin buddies just how Canada is going.

Oh yeah, it's just as shitty as the US is.
