Soda for breakfast

My wife drinks diet coke or diet sprite each morning with her breakfast. It curls my hair to even think about eating breakfast with a coke. I must have my milk with breakfast or I cannot function. I drink no coffee or tea whatsoever, but, as soon as I am in my office in the morning, out comes my cup, and I fill it with ice and coke. No pepsi..coke. But Ham & Eggs & coke??? Yikes!!

My wife drinks Diet Coke early in the morning sometimes; I cannot imagine why. She just loves the stuff. I cannot stand diet soda of any kind and as for real soda, I've given it up except for an occasional Jones, Izze or Jarritos. I drink coffee and tea all day long and prefer water to soda with lunch or dinner unless I'm having wine or beer. I drank a can of real Coke in my office the other day and after 45 years of it, I can honestly say no longer miss the stuff. Just had too much of it for too long.

No you didn't, Mr. Mayor! (other loose cans nearby!)
Besides, I was up around 5:30, and if I feel hungry in the middle of the
night, it's usually around 3AM (digging in to the other stash of Twinkies,
although for now it's the contents of the 49c box of peppermint Kandy
Kakes that Save-A-Lot lowered just the other day!).

RM,
I hope I didn't disturb your 'Stash'??

BTW it is about 9:40am. I slept like a baby after posting my previous note, until 9:00am this morning. Different strokes (no pun intended!) for Different Folks!!

AAUGH!

Now I be tempted to get a can from the case of Cheerwine stashed behind my
bed, but will save it for special occasions (just in case the shipments to
the Wally World in Marianna dry up, along with Sun-Drop & Vernors)

After 2 hours of sleeping, I am awake and thirsty at 1:20am. What do I do? I get up, sign on to see who is gripeing about JOHN A's photo stuff now, and down two cans of Mountain Dew. In about 45 minutes I will be sleepy enough to go back to bed.

I rarely eat breakfast, being a night owl, usually start my day with lunch. Never really hungry in the mornings. On the rare times I eat breakfast, or breakfast food, I have to have coffee. The only time I drink it, too.

Otherwise, it's classic Coke for me.

Never drink soda. We don't have any in the house, actually. I shouldn't say never. I actually enjoy a Root Beer with my Mr. Beef (I go there about twice a year)

I Also Have at least 6 sodas in a day, but only 2 before lunch. I know it's a bad habit, but i don't like coffee, and tea just gets boring, but 6 before lunch? If i did that i think my stomach would have a hole eaten in it.

It is hard to imagine a breakfast without a Diet Coke along with my sausage and biscuit or any other breakfast product.

I like a soda in the morning once in a while also but I'm not a cola-holic though. I prefer Mexican Coca Cola because it doesn't have HFCS. Pure sugar for me baby!!! I think it just tastes better. I usually find it in the local carniceras or mom and pop restaurants. Can't find it in Wickenburg AZ so I have to go to Phoenix for my fix. I usually buy a case and it will last about 2 months as I don't drink it often. Beer is my drink of choice after 4:00 pm.

I stand corrected on Cheerwine availability. I have now found out that even the NC stuff is now bottled in Charlotte not Salisbury. It has been farmed out to Pepsi (a NC founded comapny, New Bern, NC) in many markets

Let me encourage everyone to find it in the 12 oz glass bottle. This bottling does not use HFCS but cane sugar only. Heat it and put a lemon slice on top of a cup of it to cure a cold...ok, it won't cure it but it won't taste nasty like a HFCS soda will when it is heated.

PigIron, Sorry I didn't see your question about the Pee-Pill. As one who has it assigned for Blood Pressure and kidney support, I can assure you It isn't one to use for fun! It tends to divert liquid from other functions into the main drainage canal. In other words while the volume does increase quite a bit, Other place dry up! And I am not talking about 'tears'!!

On another topic... We have Cheerwine, Diet Cheerwine and Sun Drop and the diet version of it, in many of the grocery stores in the Louisville/Southern Indiana area. I like the Sun Drop as a cheaper replacement for Mountain Dew, but Cheerwine is a bit sweet for my subtle tastes!!

Cheerwine is available in outstate Missouri - I believe that it is bottled by the Pepsi New Haven bottling plant. They seem to co-brand with Sun Drop quite a bit - don't know if thats because of the local bottler, or if the beverages are co-owned - I'm not really a big fan of either. But give me a nice bottle of Ski - another hard to find, excellent citrus soda.

I too am a breakfast soda drinker - I drink so much soda that I have a resturant style four head fountain installed in my kitchen, tied into bag-in-box syrup of Coke, Dr Pepper, 7UP, and Hi-C orange drink.

That's not completely true. I've seen it all over the south, including Alabama, Tennessee and Florida. I think it's also pretty popular in the Minneapolis area. I think Pepsi has some kind of a bottling agreement that has expanded it's territory tremendously over the last decade.

I like soda in the a.m., too. I used to be a BIG Mt. Dew-a-holic but had to give that up. Now I drink Diet-Rite, when I can find it. It has 0 carbs, calories, and caffine. So what the heck is in there? Because I don't like it as much as regular soda, I don't drink as much, too.

PigIron: They (ahem) increase one's liquid output, yes. They're sometimes a medical necessity and no fun at all! But they do have their medically irrelevant but quite helpful or simply interesting uses. Like some other chemicals; but I wander. . . .

BakersBoy: When I was in seminary my wife, a nurse, often worked 11-7. One morning, to her horror, my advisor dropped by our place as she was sucking up a glass of sherry. Fortunately, he was a good friend.

annpeeples: One childhood axiom, one warning: Soft drinks are a treat, and never drink the last 6½-ounce Coke.

A-T-M-B: Thanks for the tip. I like DMD, but haven't tried the generics. I will; any other recommendations?

FT: Home-made roll recipe, pretty please? I'm trying to broaden my horizons. (My butt takes care of itself.)

I am in awe. I drink about three sodas/soft drinks/pops a YEAR. Maybe a sip of Coke but mostly Cheerwines from the glass bottle (made w/ sugar not HFCS). I drink Earl Grey tea (unsweetened) mostly and Green tea when eating w/ Japanese.

Gave up on the soda for the most part. Too sweet and would give me a headache. I used to drink a 2 liter a day in my teens, but would feel out of it the rest of the day. I find I have more energy when I drink water, tea, milk. I try to drink about 8 glasses of water a day.

Al, Jean, my name is Trisha and I am a soda-holic too. Or popaholic as we say here in S. Ontario.

Pop (usually Canada Dry Gingerale or sometimes Pepsi) was a treat when I was growing up. Our city (Kitchener, Ontario) drew its water from artesian wells and it was delicious. It rivalled any bottled water out there.

Then as the city grew, they started drawing water from other sources and began to chlorinate it. That's when I started drinking diet soda on a daily basis. When you can't stomach the water, soda is the only way to go. It's usually cheaper than bottled water too.

P.S. I had a Diet Pepsi for breakfast today, but that's a weekend thing with me.
