Coke & Pepsi: Is it just me?

[Drtooth]

What I said earlier, about coke and Pepsi (see my Media posers rant). I just can't tell the difference. If you give me a fizzing black liquid (provided it IS soda) I couldn't tell what it is. It could be Coke, Pepsi, or even Royal Crown or Generic Cola. I can't tell the stinking difference. This will drive me crazy! Anyone esle not know the difference?

[matleo]

One (Coke) is a little sweeter than the other. I usd to feel the same way untilI lived with this friend of mine who drank pepsi (and Idrank Coke. ran out of coke. And thought what's the differece? had one of his Pepsi's and found the difference. It's not major but it is there. I think some people are more susceptible to the difference than others. I dunno.

--Matt

[Lu775]

Pepsi is watered down and has more fizz. I can tell the difference and am not a happy camper when I'm not served Coke.

[Luke]

Is it just me or did i come to the Muppet forum or Coke.com ?

Actually, this place is neither.

This is plutonium.com. We discuss all of the uses for plutonium...

[matleo]

Rght. coke and pepsi are bot hgood uses for plutonium!!!

[FellowWLover]

Whelp, Coke takes the rust off a bicycle... but not Pepsi, so go figure!

[Drtooth]

Ferget it!!! I like Root Beer much better!

[muppet_fan_1]

Oh shoot...I cane on here...and forgot what I was replying to.....COKE that's right. I have to agree with DrTeeth on this one,

ROOT BEER ROCKS!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[muppet_fan_1]

I meant DrTooth. I did. Really....I'm not lying.....
(he he he sorry bout that)

[Thog]

Pepis is way better than Coke. But then Moutin Dew is bettern than them all!!!!!!:p

[Drtooth]

Yeah. But I heard that drinking soda can strip the calcium from your bones (probably the distilled water, and chemicals and such). Man. Nothing is safe anymore!

[sidcrowe]

I'm a Dr. Pepper kinda guy myself, although in recent years my nerves are getting worse, so I pretty much avoid all caffeine now. Every now and then I'll have just ONE can and sip it for hours.

At least it's dark and caffein-y:)

[Fozzie Bear]

Put a T-Bone steak in Coke for 3 days, and it disintegrates....so I've been told. Of the two, I like Pepsi better, not as sweet.

Coke, though, can do wonders for cleaning your car's motor, windows, getting bug guts off the front of your studebacher...

Coke kills. That's their next logo. Although, as far as cleaning agents go, it's the best tasting. Windex just plain makes my tummy ache.

Also, I'm a root beer fanatic, especially with chocolate chip cookies or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Later,
FOZ

[sidcrowe]

Mmmm........root beer and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

That's a post with the most.

CAW!

:cool:

[BorkBork]

I prefer pepsi! it's sweeter and much tastier :)

[scarylarrywolf]

I used to be a Pepsi freak. Seriously, I really loved it. My friend (whose Grampa used to work for Pepsi) and I would go around campaigning for Pepsi, making little home-made commercials for their products and writing songs about it and stuff. Once I spotted a parked Coke delivery truck with its window down and I dropped in a note that basically said that Coke was doomed and Pepsi would soon overtake them. Gosh I was stupid! Oh well. Even if it did rob a few years of my life, I still like Pepsi a thousand times more than coke.

--"Scary" Larry Wolf

[frogboy4]

I was always a Coca-cola drinker until I developed a corn allergy (corn syrup) and switched to Diet Coke (that stuff is toxic, people). When drinking Diet Coke, I noticed little differnce with that and Diet Pepsi as they both kind of numb your tounge. I then swithed to Pepsi One which is much tastier! A couple of years ago I quit that too and I have felt so much better! Nutrasweet and artificial sweetenters are evil. I used to get stomach cramps from that stuff and didn't realize 'till I stopped drinking it. There is trace arsenic in Nutrasweet afterall.:eek:
Just my thoughts

[Smig]

Personally, I can't stand either one, and that goes for any form of carbonated (or alcoholic) beverage. It's like pouring battery acid down your throat.

I've always believed that all the cola companies are in some vast conspiracy with the world's goverments to control all humanity. God only knows what (highly addictive) mind-control drugs they lace their "secret formulas" with..all designed to keep us nice and complacement..
I can figure out no other reason why million of people would STAND that swill otherwise.

[Fozzie Bear]

This brings me to thinking about the whole Veterinarian's Hospital sketch about finding the patient in a bunch of cows...

Not BUNCH, Dr. Herd!

Ahhh! I love that sketch.

Well, MOOOVing right along...

[sidcrowe]

Let's all not forget: milk sucks :D

http://www.milksucks.com/

[frogboy4]

Aint that the truth (though i do admit to having a little bit of dairy from time to time).

[Fozzie Bear]

NO!

Milk is good, tasty! I love chocolate milk, too; but not strawberry.

Strawberry milk makes me sick. But I like Frankenberry cereal, so I hurt myself a lot.

And I happen to be lactose intolerant...bummer.

I admit that some weigh is in my protein bars and I love cheese on pizza. Although i usually eat soy cheese and hardly ever eat pizza. Maybe a slice every couple months to keep me sane. :p

[Laisaismine]

Pepsi Is Just A Little More Bitter Than Coke Me I Like Coke And Since I Live In Australia We Don't Get Root Beer So I Can't Really Comment There :confused:

[HeraLirambar]

I prefer Coke. Pepsi's sweeter. Coke burns.

[ryhoyarbie]

does anybody remember back in the early and mid 90's there was a test to see if you could figure out which was coke and which was pepsi and if you got it right they gave you a pepsi one card? (or something by that name)

also isn't dr. pepper made with cough syrup, or is that coke or pepsi? it's one of those three.

ryan

[RubberDucky]

Anyone remember Crystal Clear Pepsi? A few years ago my friend found a 2 liter of it in her basement...must have been forgotten about in the early-mid 90s (whenever they made that stuff). You could see that over time it had seperated into a watery section on top and a heavy syrupy section on the bottom. Not as tasty,thirst quenching sight.....certainly made me think twice the next time someone offered me a soda. :eek:

[Buck-Beaver]

Ick. :grouchy:

[Don'tLiveonMoon]

Crystal Pepsi - ick. Remember when they had other ones, too, like blueberry and strawberry I think? I remember they had these commercials with a rap about it. They only lasted for the summer I think, but I thought they were pretty cool. I think I prefer Pepsi, but Coke's all right. Dr. Pepper is my favorite.
Erin

[Beebers]

These would all make excellent anti-terrorist weapons. Just squirt them with it and they'd melt right into the floor.

:D

[Whatever]

Heh heh. I like Dr Pepper, root beer and orange soda, otherwise I don't drink any sodas, and those three very rarely. There is a taste difference between Pepsi and Coke. I prefer Pepsi.
What I like even better is to mix orange soda and Coke. That's very popular in Germany.

[Beebers]

We grew up making home-made sodas, so commercial stuff leaves me flat pun fully intended lol.

:D

[GonzoGirl]

Home-made sodas must taste WAY better than commercial stuff! Is that basically like Italian sodas?

Between Coke and Pepsi, I prefer Pepsi (but NOT Pepsi Blue-that stuff is nasty) I used to like Coke, but had to quit drinking it because it was giving me stomach problems from all the acidity, and then somone told me that plumbers use Coke syrup to unclog drains...*eek*
I really like Dr. Pepper, and those Hansen's Natural Sodas, although lately, I have been trying to drink more water.

[HeraLirambar]

y'know, even though I prefer coke, I like a lot of pepsi variants and products better. Like in the case of the vanilla ones. And MOUNTAIN DEW CODE RED! And Orange Slice.

But cherry coke's good, too.

[Don'tLiveonMoon]

Wow, homemade pop sounds really cool. :cool:
Erin

[Beebers]

Home-made sodas must taste WAY better than commercial stuff! Is that basically like Italian sodas?

I'm not completely sure which you mean by Italian sodas. Home-made soda is so far superior to any commercial sodas out there that there's no comparison at all. Your ingredients are all fresh, all natural, and there are zero additives such as high-fructose corn syrup, etc. Plus you bottle in glass, in which flavor is always superior.

I make sodas, beers, tabascos, wines, cordials, liqueurs, ketchups, all kinds of stuff, just for us, and for friends. I'd love to do these recipes commercially but haven't the proper facilities to be licensed for it. But it's fun, and so much better than store-bought.

:cool:

Erin, I tried to stick your post in here too but I haven't figured out that multiple-quote-edit thing yet sorry.

[Don'tLiveonMoon]

Erin, I tried to stick your post in here too but I haven't figured out that multiple-quote-edit thing yet sorry.

Italian sodas are basically a flavored syrup (or mix, if you're adventurous) mixed up with carbonated soda water...but it sounds like your home-made stuff is even better than that!

[sarah_yzma]

I'm not allowed to have any sort of caffeinated soda, due to health issues. (I do have a sip now and then though!) Which is OK because I love Sprite, but my Zoology teacher (who just happens to be the anatomy teacher as well) told our class that it takes 75 minutes of aerobics to work off one 20 ounce pop....so I sort of quit...now I'm into herbal tea....with a spoonfull of Splenda....YUM!

Now for my opinion on Dark pops.....I like Pepsi and Coca-Cola, but I slightly like Pepsi better...and Dr. Pepper is nasty *blech* but most people here live off of it!

but I love to find a soda fountain with sprite that just has enough syrup to keep it from tasting like carbonated water *again BLECH!*

but that Mountain Dew Livewire stuff was goooood....I'm glad it was only available over the summer, or else my health would be in trouble! :D

[Klonoa]

I really don't like cokes (that's what we call all sodas down in the south, right Fozzie?) I'd rather just drink water. Yeah, I'm boring like Bert. Well, not that boring. Anyway, I maybe drink a glass of coke maybe every couple of months, either because it goes just so darn good with pizza, or my throat is sore and a carbonated drink makes it feel better. My favorite? RC Cola!

--Klonoa
But no Moon Pie.

[dmx10101]

I don't usually drink reg. coke. but If I don't I prefer coke brand. I like to drink orange soda and root beer.

[Zondra]

I don't like most American sodas; Pepsi and Coke are both nasty...so are all their other horrid types, Mountain Dew and such. I don't really drink soda in general, if I do, I usually like Japanese sodas...they're better tasting, more natural, less highly colored, and more attractively packaged. I'm a sucker for Ramune. Calpis soda and CC Lemon are also awesome!! Anyone ever heard of these? Fanta is also popular, they have a lot more flavors too! American-wise, I don't mind the occasional Sunkist, Cherry 7-Up or Squirt. But that's basically it. And if I HAD to choose a cola, it would definitely be RC. ;)

[sarah_yzma]

I really don't like cokes (that's what we call all sodas down in the south, right Fozzie?)


*laughs* we call 'em either that or Pop in Oklahoma!

[Luke]

To continue this discussion from 2002 (it is SOOOO wierd reading back what you wrote years ago) you can definitely tell the difference with most generic colas although some are close. I prefer Pepsi, i used to be more into Caffeine Free Diet Coke (fizzier) but they stopped making that here. I'm starting to get into Cherry Coke, which seems to be making a comeback here. I couldn't stand it the first time around though for some strange reasons.

I've never had Mountain Dew, i guess its like Sprite or something.

[Pork]

I can definately tell the difference between coke and pepsi, and personally I like coke better. I like vanilla coke the best though. YUM

[Winslow Leach]

I'll drink whatever. Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, Mountain Dew, 7-Up, gasoline...er...wait. Scratch that last one.

Coke is sweeter and has a little more "bite" to it than Pepsi.

Although I find Diet Pepsi sweeter than Diet Coke. Go figure!:confused:

I'd say Mountain Dew is sweeter than either Sprite or 7-Up. Actually, I don't know what Mountain Dew is supposed to be...probably some bizarre mix of chemicals that make you temporarily all-powerful, like in the commercials.

Hey, I can dirt-bike off a cliff, float through the air, drop 1, 256 feet, and still land on my two wheels, as long as I'm guzzling a can of Mountain Dew! Yeeeeeeeee-haaaaaaaaaaaw!

Actually, I don't drink much soda. I don't dislike it, I just drink a lot of water.

Never tried that experiment, where you put a tooth in a glass of cola, and it will eventually dissolve. I never had a spare tooth around...:zany:

[heralde]

To my taste buds, I think Pepsi tastes a bit better, but I can't tell if that's just because everyone tells me so, or if I really think it's better. In either case, my favorite soft drink is always Cherry Coke. :)

[Luke]

I can definately tell the difference between coke and pepsi, and personally I like coke better. I like vanilla coke the best though. YUM


Vanilla Coke is nice ice cold, warm its terrible.

[heralde]

I really really dislike Vanilla Coke, awful taste lol.

I remember an old commerical from when Pepsi changed their can. Two little boys see Cindy Crawford getting out of a car, and the song "Just One Look" is playing. The boys are mezmorized as Cindy gets a Pepsi from the machine. Then they say:

"Is that a great new Pepsi can or what?"
"It's beautiful..."

LOL

[Ilikemuppets]

I remember that commercial! LOL!

Yeah, I drink a variety of things other then soft drink and don't drink them that often. I actually think Pepsi taste sweeter, but I've never understood those people who couldn't tell the difference of one from the other. Actually, Mountain dew is a citrus drink, but I think it's more grapefruitish then Mellow, but that could be just me. My economics teacher did this before, but I never got a turn. But it you blindfold me and give me cups with Pepsi, Coke, and bootleg-a-cola, and ask me to identify each one, I would be able to successfully tell you. But I'm sure that's probably not all that difficult:smirk: .

[furryredmonster]

Water > Soda
Soda = Yuck

[Winslow Leach]

LOL

Yup, I sure remember that commercial.

How 'bout the Pepsi ads that starred Michael J. Fox?

Or the ones with Ray Charles, when someone swipes his Pepsi for Coke: "All right, who's the wise guy?"

Then there was Batman and Indiana Jones shilling Diet Coke.

And the (Coke?) commercials with Art Carney and the kid who played the youngest son on Family Ties.

Vanilla Coke is pretty good.

Pepsi is a little more "syrupy" I think than Coke; Coke has a more natural cola flavor, IMO.

But yeah, I could take a blind taste-test, and tell the difference between colas.

My drink of choice, however, is a cool glass of water with a squirt of lemon.

[Winslow Leach]

Actually, Mountain dew is a citrus drink, but I think it's more grapefruitish then Mellow, but that could be just me.

Ah yes! Citrus! That was the word I was looking for!

[Winslow Leach]

To my taste buds, I think Pepsi tastes a bit better, but I can't tell if that's just because everyone tells me so, or if I really think it's better.

Well, Pepsi is the choice of a new generation...er...at least it was in the 80s...

[Winslow Leach]

Remember the Ernest P. Worrell Sprite commercials?

"Sprite has a lime-on taste!"

[Ilikemuppets]

Pepsi is a little more "syrupy" I think than Coke; Coke has a more natural cola flavor, IMO.

I would have to agree. I think that why it taste sweeter to me.

[heralde]

I remember all those commercials, Winslow! Lol

Not that they tasted any different, but I liked it when they had red and blue Coke. Lol

[Winslow Leach]

I remember all those commercials, Winslow! Lol

Not that they tasted any different, but I liked it when they had red and blue Coke. Lol

Red Coke, Blue Coke, New Coke...remember all the fuss when "New Coke" came out?

My friends and I used to swig Jolt Cola once in a while, just to prove how "cool" or "manly" we were, I guess...haven't had it in years, but the thought of it makes me blech!

[Ilikemuppets]

I remember the blue Pepsi that was out a few years ago, No bad, actually.

[heralde]

I saw a commerical for Jolt on I Luv the '80s

"Jolt has all the sugar and twice the caffeine!"

Heh, all the cavities and twice the heart attack you mean!

Wow, what an innocent time. Lol

[Winslow Leach]

I saw a commerical for Jolt on I Luv the '80s

"Jolt has all the sugar and twice the caffeine!"

Heh, all the cavities and twice the heart attack you mean!

Wow, what an innocent time. Lol

Yeah, we thought Jolt was awesome, because it had TWICE the caffeine of Coke! I was maybe 10 or 11 when I first tried it (it debuted in '85). To make it extra appealing to us knuckleheads on the playground, most of our parents wouldn't let us drink it, and our school actually prohibited anyone bringing it for lunch. Of course, the older guys would drink it on the school bus, or at the park, so we saw it as a status symbol.

Innocent time indeed!;)

[heralde]

I just want to take the opportunity to say I hate Diet Coke/Pepsi. The taste is downright awful to me. If you want to stay healthy, drink water! Lol

[Skye]

I can definitely taste the difference between Coke and Pepsi! It's funny to me because I actually think Pepsi tastes sweeter than Coke. But I am definitely a Coke girl! :D

[heralde]

I think Coke is just always associated with that wholesome American image. And Pepsi's popular too, but as less of that nice image. Almost like the misfit younger brother trying to prove itself. Lol

[Winslow Leach]

Yes, all of these soft drinks are refreshing one way or another. But as I posted earlier, Mountain Dew allows you to do crazy, off-the-wall stuff! Let's see your Cokes or your Pepsis do that!

Aaaaah! Just took a sip of Mountain Dew.

Now excuse me while I ride a moped down a craggy, rocky, very steep hill blindfolded, with my hands tied behind my back.

[anytimepally]

But as I posted earlier, Mountain Dew allows you to do crazy, off-the-wall stuff!

Winslow, I think you've discovered Gonzo's secret! :concern:

[Ilikemuppets]

I don't like anything diet, LOL! And I don't like the taste of any diet cola either.:p

But I remember when Surge was popular. Twice the caffeine as Coke. Now that was the stuff way back when, hehe! I feel only saying things like that.:p

[Skye]

Yup, I hate anything diet, too. Can't stand the taste, can't stand the aftertaste.

I actually never knew of the red and blue Coke, and they sound interesting. But I know I wouldn't have gone for New Coke. And I've never tried anything like Jolt or anything like that. I tend to stick with what I know I love, and am darn proud of it! :D

[Ilikemuppets]

Yup, I hate anything diet, too. Can't stand the taste, can't stand the aftertaste.I heard that about the after taste, yuck1:p


I tend to stick with what I know I love, and am darn proud of it! :D
You sure do, sweetheart.:flirt:

[Winslow Leach]

Winslow, I think you've discovered Gonzo's secret! :concern:

You know, you may be right!

Now I'm going to be eating a rubber tire, while riding in--and demolishing with a heavy mallet--a vintage automobile while playing the bagpipes while trying to catch a cannonball, as I'm pulling a Thelma & Louise over a giant gourge, while yodelling "The Flight of the Bumblebee" with my eyes closed!

[Sgt Floyd]

I can definatly tell the difference. I perfer coke better. Pepsi, even thouh I do drink it, is too syrupy. Funny thing is, I love to drink coke warm. Coke warm is the best way to have it. But I have to have my pepsi cold or I cant drink it.

My favorite drink is Mountain Dew, though. Cafeine and sugar! My parents wont buy it for me though...

Mountain Dew with a cookie! For some reason cookies make me hyper, and when I drank a Mountain dew and had a cookie during school lunch one time I was bouncing off the wall for a few hours!

[Ilikemuppets]

My brother gets that way when drinking kool-Aid after 10. Any, I've always like Pepsi better. But I'm staring to like coke a lot more then I used to. My parents are the same way. They never really but us sugary stuff, and they never let us have caffeine, either, oh well, LOL! But I can drink Pepsi any kind of way. I usually have to have any kind of drink coke, but when Coke gets worm, it gives me a headache. Pepsi doesn't have that same affect on me, however.

Oh, and great stunt, Winslow Leach!:)

[Pork]

Vanilla Coke is nice ice cold, warm its terrible.


Yeah, I agree with you there.

[Kiki]

I think Pepsi's sweeter. I don't mind either, but I think I'm a Coke girl! I dig the vanilla flavoured one, too. Cherry's nice, too. Does anyone remember the lemon-flavoured Pepsi? Came out early 2000's I think. I don't know about you yanks but here in Aus it didn't last very long, plus you could barely taste the lemon.

[Pork]

yeah I remember, Pepsi with lemon twist, hehe. My sister liked it but I agree with you kiki. I couldn't taste the lemon enough.

[lael]

Coke~ TO ACIDIC! leaves a nastyness in my mouth & throat about 10 minutes after I drink it. that is if I make it to the end of the can.
Diet Coke~ I'm a die hard DIET COKE fan. Not so much with the one with the lime in it tho.
Diet Coke Plus~ Anyone tried this one yet? They added Vitamines & Minerals to it & it tastes too much like reg coke for my tastes.
Pepsi~ TOO SWEET!
Diet Pepsi~ Not bad for diet, but tastes like too much like reg Pepsi.

[Winslow Leach]

I think Pepsi's sweeter. I don't mind either, but I think I'm a Coke girl! I dig the vanilla flavoured one, too. Cherry's nice, too. Does anyone remember the lemon-flavoured Pepsi?

I'm pretty sure lemon Pepsi and/or Coke is still available around here. I haven't looked for it, but as far as I know it hasn't been discontinued.

It was alright.

We have lime Coke, too.

[Drtooth]

Honestly, I could give a fig about Pepsi and Coke. I'm more into Dr. pepper and Root Beer (usually the mom and pop home brews that you sometimes find in mom and pop restaraunts and hot dog carts).

[Ilikemuppets]

I like Lemon twist Pepsi. But Yeah, I agree that you couldn't barely taste the lemon in it. They also released lime Pepsi right after they 'put the lime it the Coke U nut', too, hehe! I remember they had a watermelon flavored Mellow Yellow just a few years back. Very short lived, but very good! Yum!

[D'Snowth]

Anything with carbonation makes me throw up, so I wouldn't be able to tell the different between Coke or Pepsi either, because one sip of either and I start gagging.

[Ilikemuppets]

Yeah, sorry to hear that. I guess not everybody can have that.

[D'Snowth]

And the sad thing is that everyone always looks at me like I'm weird when I get all choked up at one sip of any kind of soda.

[Winslow Leach]

I remember they had a watermelon flavored Mellow Yellow just a few years back. Very short lived, but very good! Yum!

Yeah, I think some brands of soda (Mountain Dew?) put out a "summer only" flavor for a few months...

[D'Snowth]

Yeah, I think some brands of soda (Mountain Dew?) put out a "summer only" flavor for a few months...
Kind of like how Sierra Mist comes out with that Christmas flavor around the holidays?

[Winslow Leach]

Kind of like how Sierra Mist comes out with that Christmas flavor around the holidays?

Do they have a Christmas flavor? I know Coke, Sprite and Pepsi put out bottles with special holiday labels, but the taste is the same. I don't know about Sierra Mist.

But yeah, I think it is Mountain Dew that puts out special "summer only" flavored soft drinks.

[D'Snowth]

Yeah, there was a commercial about it with Michael Ian Black and Jim Gaffigan.

[Ilikemuppets]

And the sad thing is that everyone always looks at me like I'm weird when I get all choked up at one sip of any kind of soda. Sorry to here that, Snowthy.

Yeah, I think some brands of soda (Mountain Dew?) put out a "summer only" flavor for a few months... Well, that particular flavor I had during the school year, because I was at school when I first heard about it. Maybe it was near the summer season? but it came out around the same time as their more permanent cherry flavor. But yeah, like Live Wire or something like that, which was available only for a limit of time which was the summer of something or the other. But I saw it around was after that.

Do they have a Christmas flavor? I know Coke, Sprite and Pepsi put out bottles with special holiday labels, but the taste is the same. I don't know about Sierra Mist. Yeah, Pepsi put out this spice flavor during the Christmas season, and it's pretty good. I though that Sierra Mist cranberry flavor was their holiday one.

[D'Snowth]

Yeah, that's what is was; they had a commercial where Michael Ian Black and Jim Gaffigan were sitting on a street-side bench, and Jim askes Michael what he's drinking, and he tells him it's the cranberry flavored Sierra Mist, and that it came out only once a year "just like the holiday hawk." Jim said there was no such thing, next thing you know there's a hawk sitting on top of his head singing "Jingle Bells".

[Teheheman]

I love the Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper, That stuff was the BEST!

Daniel

[lael]

Anything with carbonation makes me throw up, so I wouldn't be able to tell the different between Coke or Pepsi either, because one sip of either and I start gagging.

OMG! I thought that was just me! The only way I can drink anything carbonated is if it's in a bottle w/ a lid to shake out the fizz. I don't have soda pop that often because of this little chore.

[Ilikemuppets]

Yeah, that's what is was; they had a commercial where Michael Ian Black and Jim Gaffigan were sitting on a street-side bench, and Jim askes Michael what he's drinking, and he tells him it's the cranberry flavored Sierra Mist, and that it came out only once a year "just like the holiday hawk." Jim said there was no such thing, next thing you know there's a hawk sitting on top of his head singing "Jingle Bells". Yeah! I love their commercials, LOL!:zany: They have this new summer flavor out now. It has more lemon taste in it or something like that.

I love the Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper, That stuff was the BEST!

Daniel Yeah! I like the regular kind! I also really like the berries and cream kind, too!:)

[D'Snowth]

I liked the commercial where Jim and Kathy Griffin had Michael stopped at the airport security check, and Griffin kept waving her metal-detector over Michael's Sierra Mist and making fake beeping sounds so she could confiscate it, and when Michael wouldn't cooperate, Jim pulled on a poop-stained rubber glove.

[Ilikemuppets]

LOL! Yeah! That was too funny!:zany:

[lael]

I love Kathy Griffin

[Sgt Floyd]

speaking of not being able to drink carbonated soda, I have a particular liking of flat or watered down Sprite. I can handle pepsi flat, and most sodas watered down, but I absolutly love that old flat/watered down taste sprite gets:crazy:

[Beakerfan]

Have y'all tried the Pepsi Summer Mix? It tastes like you're drinking Skittles. :p

[Teheheman]

Wow, I would rather EAT Skittles than drink them, personally

Daniel

[Winslow Leach]

Have y'all tried the Pepsi Summer Mix? It tastes like you're drinking Skittles. :p

Hmmm...sounds interesting. I'll have to look for it.

[Kiki]

I'm pretty sure lemon Pepsi and/or Coke is still available around here. I haven't looked for it, but as far as I know it hasn't been discontinued.

It was alright.

We have lime Coke, too.

Same here, but I'm not sure whether that lasted here...

Have y'all tried the Pepsi Summer Mix? It tastes like you're drinking Skittles. :p

Really? Erm, yummo. :p I don't think we have that here though. If we do I wouldn't mind trying it! ;)

[Ilikemuppets]

I love Kathy Griffin I don't...:p

Have y'all tried the Pepsi Summer Mix? It tastes like you're drinking Skittles. :p Really? I have to try that! I saw a chocolate payday for the first time in my life the other day. I've been wanting to try one so badly lately!:excited:

[Skye]

Wow, I would rather EAT Skittles than drink them, personally

Daniel
Yeah, ditto.

[Ilikemuppets]

Ya know, I actually wouldn't mind a Skittles flavored soft drink. Life saver has on and Jolly Rancher has one, and there both soooo good! i actually had some kind of kool-Aid flavors mixed together that tasted just like skittles, and it weren't have bad! But as far as skittle flavored Pepsi, I'm with the rest of you all.:p

There's a Life Savers soft drink?

There's a Jolly Ranchers soft drink?

Whoa!

[lael]

HEY! Did you know that you can turn KOOL-AID into soda pop?
Just make KOOL-AID according to pkg directions then (if you're underage, get the help of an adult).
Then add a few chunks of dried ice! Careful it will bubble & boil over if you add too much too fast

I get mine at my local HYVEE grocer. It'll add carbonation to the drink not to mention who wouldn't want to drink something that has an eery fog rolling off of the top of it? Very Mad Scientist! Also works with some fruit juices, depending on your tastes.

[lael]

OH! And if you add fruit to the mix & let it sit for a little bit the carbonation will start to get absorbed by the fruit. When you eat the fruit it get's all tingly on your tongue! Pineapple, oranges, strawberries & watermelon's are the best! I usually do this sort of thing when I have BBQ's and small social functions & Holiday parties.

Just thought I'd share.

Man, I haven't had Jolly Ranchers in general in YEARS! Do they even still MAKE them anymore?

[Winslow Leach]

Man, I haven't had Jolly Ranchers in general in YEARS! Do they even still MAKE them anymore?

They sure do! I don't eat much candy myself, but I have a weakness for Jolly Ranchers...and anything gummi. They even make soft, chewy Jolly Ranchers now.

[D'Snowth]

Wow... I've been out of the scene or something, because I wasn't even aware they made chewy Jolly Ranchers too.

[Winslow Leach]

Wow... I've been out of the scene or something, because I wasn't even aware they made chewy Jolly Ranchers too.

They are dee-lish!

[D'Snowth]

Maybe, but I'm not too fond of chewy candy, especially chewy caramel; that stuff gets stuck all over your teeth and it drives you crazy.

[Ilikemuppets]

:) There's a Life Savers soft drink?

There's a Jolly Ranchers soft drink?

Whoa!

Yeah! And it taste exactly like the candy, too.

I actually read that they actually discontinued the life Savers one because even though it did well in taste test, consumers thought it would taste to much like a liquid version of the candy. I remember it, and it was actually very good.

But Jolly Ranchers soft drink it kinda hard to find. I think they just released the 'fire red' flavor. People have found it at local convenience stores like 7-11 and things. But I know that wholesale places sell them by the case. Very strong carbonation, very good! Yum!

[D'Snowth]

I miss Fruitopia.

[Ilikemuppets]

Miss it? I wasn't aware that it even went anywhere? I know that that have it in the fountain at McDonald's.

[D'Snowth]

I think that's Hi-C.

They stopped making Fruitopia around 2002 or so; I know because there used to be dozens of Fruitopia vending machines all over town, and even at my school... then they all disappeared. Man, I miss it! Strawberry was good, but grape was AWESome, especially in the can!

[Teheheman]

Actually, they replaced Fruitopia with Minute Maid. Sucks but what can ya do?

Daniel

[D'Snowth]

Oh. Well, Minute Maid's okay; I mean they've got lemonade, and that fruit punch drink... and that's pretty much it.

[Teheheman]

Yeah, but there's nothing wrong with lemonade. Especially if you can get a Coke code off the cap(I'm just sayin)

Daniel

[D'Snowth]

Oh I love Minute Maid lemonade (hee-hee-hee, rhymes like Roy Dupree from the 8063)... but I do prefer my mom's home-made lemonade, so pulpy and sweet!

[Teheheman]

Kinda like how my mom makes her cheesecake. She makes it with lemon juice and tries to get the filling JUST right. No cream cheese bumps but there are a few in there, and THAT'S what makes it so good.

Daniel

[D'Snowth]

Boy oh boy would my uncle and I love some of that! He goes banana over cheesecake, and I like it from time to time myself.

[Teheheman]

Mmmmmmmmm..................banana cheesecake.

Daniel

[abiraniriba]

Personally, I prefer Coke over Pepsi. However, I can't drink too much soda of any kind, the carbonation ruins my digestion and everything I eat goes straight through me.
This piece of info is not for the under twelves: Cherry Coke has an aphrodisiac effect on me.

[D'Snowth]

Now THERE'S an idea!

[Teheheman]

Only mentally

Daniel

[D'Snowth]

*Waits for someone to says "then what's Snowth reading this for?"*

[Teheheman]

Ok, I'll say it then
Then what's Snowth reading this for?

Daniel

[D'Snowth]

You know it's funny, when I was twelve, people always thought I was eight, and now that I'm eighteen people think I'm twelve. Well, people have thought that since I was like sixteen or so.

[Winslow Leach]

You know it's funny, when I was twelve, people always thought I was eight, and now that I'm eighteen people think I'm twelve. Well, people have thought that since I was like sixteen or so.

People always assume I'm much younger than I look...that's because I have a picture in my closet aging in place of me, muwhahahahahaha!

Seriously, people do tend to think I'm younger than I look. I recently went to a Mexican restaurant that served alcoholic beverages, and the guy at the door wouldn't let me in unless I showed him my driver's license! I got carded going into a restaurant! And I towered over the little twerp! He was probably younger than me!

A lot of people mistake me as being in my early 20s (20-25 range).

[D'Snowth]

Actually, I meant people assume that's how old I am because apparently that's how old I act... well, that's what they say anyway, what do they know? A lot of those same people weren't exactly all that mature either. Well, some of them were.

[Ilikemuppets]

I think that's Hi-C.

They stopped making Fruitopia around 2002 or so; I know because there used to be dozens of Fruitopia vending machines all over town, and even at my school... then they all disappeared. Man, I miss it! Strawberry was good, but grape was AWESome, especially in the can!

No, I mean Fruitopia! I know for a fact. And it's still around.

[D'Snowth]

But Daniel just said Minute Maid replaced it... WHERE DO YOU LIVE! I NEED FRUITOPIA!

[Teheheman]

Really? I didn't think that Fruitopia was still around, I heard that Coke phased it out for the Minute Maid brand that they owned.

Daniel

[D'Snowth]

Yeah, and I haven't seen a bottle, nor a can of Fruitopia in YEARS!

[Ilikemuppets]

I just had it a couple of months ago. I live in West Columbia, SC! Actually I live in a little town called Springdale, but just right of the city limits.

[D'Snowth]

Well then, abyssinia!

[Ilikemuppets]

I guess so. But I guess you're right any way, so I guess you'll be staying home then. I guess the machine still says it, but it's just the same flavor. But it must be Minute Maid.:smirk:

But it turns out some of the facts on you're Snapple bottle caps are incorrect.

* #36 "A duck's quack doesn't echo" Proven false by Snopes.
* #77 No piece of paper can be folded more than 7 times. This was proven false by the Discovery Channel show Mythbusters, who folded a piece of paper 11 times.
* #114 "The oldest known animal was a tortoise, which lived to be 152 years old" Currently the oldest living animal, a tortoise, lived to be 175 years old.
* #334 "Thomas Edison coined the word "hello" and introduced it as a way to answer the phone." Hello was used in print in Roughing It by Mark Twain in 1872, while the telephone was invented in 1876.
* #266 In a New York City cap, "The only borough in New York City without a Main Street is Manhattan." Roosevelt Island, part of Manhattan, has a Main Street.

[lael]

Mmmmmmmmm.................. banana cheesecake.

Daniel

~ I've attempted to make Banana's Foster Cheesecake once. I added to much rum & 99 banana's. I still ate the cheesecake, but it was like 100 proof per bite! Aside from the high proof, it was quite delicious!

[Teheheman]

Actually, they proved the duck quacking one on Mythbusters.
Oh and I bet it was after all that booze. About halfway through, you were probably so hammered, that you really didn't care HOW it taste.

Daniel

[Sgt Floyd]

Actually, they proved the duck quacking one on Mythbusters.


Hey, that one was actually on today, lol! (actually, it was animal myths in general, but still ;) )

[Teheheman]

Hey, that one was actually on today, lol! (actually, it was animal myths in general, but still ;) )
Oh really? I saw that one earlier, but haven't watched Mythbusters in a while. At least until I was in Nashville, in my hotel and a marathon came on when the race was on a rain delay. That's what I watched for most of the day. LOVE that show.

Daniel

[Ilikemuppets]

I like peach flavored Nehi. Yum!

[Ilikemuppets]

Cool! Sound like plan!

[PuppyLuver]

What I said earlier, about coke and Pepsi (see my Media posers rant). I just can't tell the difference. If you give me a fizzing black liquid (provided it IS soda) I couldn't tell what it is. It could be Coke, Pepsi, or even Royal Crown or Generic Cola. I can't tell the stinking difference. This will drive me crazy! Anyone esle not know the difference?

Dude, I totally know what you mean. I can't tell the difference either. I can't even tell the difference between regular and caffiene free... or regular and diet, for that matter.

[Teheheman]

I can tell the difference between Diet Coke and regular Coke. Coca-Cola is more syrupy than Diet Coke is. Maybe that's just me though.

Daniel

[Ilikemuppets]

There's a big difference between the taste High fructose syrup and artificial sweetener to me.:p

[Pork]

Did you know that Diet Coke is actually worse for you than normal coke because the artificial sweetener is worse for you than the sugar itself!

[lael]

I do like Splenda.
Their marketing ploy is that, "It tastes like sugar, because it's made from sugar!"
I don't know the validity of this statement, but it sure sounds good to me!

[D'Snowth]

Did you know that Diet Coke is actually worse for you than normal coke because the artificial sweetener is worse for you than the sugar itself!So if what you say is true, does that mean that Splenda might actually be worse for you than regular old sugar?

[Ilikemuppets]

It sure can.

But yeah1 I've heard about that!

[Pork]

So if what you say is true, does that mean that Splenda might actually be worse for you than regular old sugar?

Yes, from what I have heard and from what my Dad has researched and told me. It's really quite horrible because I know a diabetic who regularly drinks diet coke and it's actually going to be really bad for her in the long run.

[Teheheman]

See? That's why I drink all the diet Coke for my mom. She's diabetic and has to have only drinks with no sugar. So I get the diet Coke, but I drink it so she doesn't have to. How considerate am I?

Daniel

[abiraniriba]

I'm gonna have to remember that ;)

Daniel

Considering that what has an aphrodisiac effect on me might not necessarily work for you or your BF/GF, why do you want to remember what turns me on:confused:

[Teheheman]

Considering that what has an aphrodisiac effect on me might not necessarily work for you or your BF/GF, why do you want to remember what turns me on:confused:
Cause I'm single and have nothing better to remember than what is an aphrodisiac to women.

Daniel

[abiraniriba]

First off I'm MALE! And secondly I'm MARRIED!

[Teheheman]

Whoops, um........wow, I feel like an idiot now don't I?

[BeakerSqueedom]

LOL!

It's ok.

I confuse girls for guys ALL the time!

Add avatar pictures in there too and it can be almost impossbile.

[Sgt Floyd]

Yeah! Dont feel bad, people thought I was a guy for the longest time, even after saying still I was a girl. Java is right, avatars dont help at all

[abiraniriba]

Okay Teheheman, Abiraniriba is an accidental misspelling of abiranariba, a word whose meaning is explained in my sig and in the book "The World Of The Dark Crystal" as for my real name, which some of you have heard already it's Craig.

[Ilikemuppets]

That diet stuff would go strait through me. Yucko!:p
