Diet Coke overtakes Pepsi as the #2 Soda

Re: Diet Coke overtakes Pepsi as the #2 Soda

A beer is far worse than a Coke.




That's not even debatable.

It certainly is, but I have no desire to get into such a debate so I will leave it at that.

Sodas are as bad as meth?

What kind of pop are you drinking?

Mild exaggeration is something of an art form.

Drink three sodas a day for 20 years and you would become a fat, diabetic lump of worthlessness.

And people that refer to soft drinks as "pop" are too weird for me!

Beer kills brain cells.

Coke Zero is the only Coke product worth a damn.

Other than that, I'm a Pepsi or Dr. Pepper man.

Ah who am I kidding? I'm nothing. Can't drink soda anymore.

You had me going thinking you were drinking soda again, then I read the last line.

You are wrong.

I drink way too much soda, but I agree that Dr. Pepper is my favorite. I definitely prefer Coke products to Pepsi (only Pepsi product that's worth anything is Mtn Dew IMO) so I'm glad to see this.

Coke Zero is also delicious!

No definitive answer however, it is known to cause memory lapses and brain damage.


Sodas don't cause brain damage.



The key is moderation for both. Moderate soda consumption won't do anything to someone is physically active.

"A" beer certainly isn't.


In quantity, over extended periods of time, yes.

Re: Diet Coke overtakes Pepsi as the #2 Soda

I'm the exact opposite. I don't like clear pop. It's got to be a cola of some sort.


I drink Diet Dr. Pepper like it's going out of style, and I have for the past five years (since I found it in the fountains at college). The few times I've had Diet Pepsi, Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi, or Pepsi Max recently it seems like it gets flat REALLY quick. Diet Dr. Pepper holds that fiz for so long.

I'm the same way, I never liked any of those clear pops.

Also, I tried really hard to get used to Diet Dr Pepper but just never could. Its always that aftertaste that gets me.

Sure, if you also eat tons of greasy food and don't exercise. I drink a lot of pop but otherwise try to eat healthy (rarely eat red meat and fried food, always have a piece of fruit every day) and do my best to exercise regularly. Oh, and I'll be 30 in about 6 weeks and have NEVER had a cavity.

Also, you're weird

Your own source says: "Moderate drinking doesn’t kill brain cells but helps the brain function better into old age." Of course I am not arguing alcoholism is less harmful than downing Cokes and Pepsis, but alcohol when used moderately is not as harmful as excessive drinking of sodas.

We're talking about people who drink 3-4 sodas per day.


Compare that to 3-4 Budweisers per day.

That just means they have absolutely awful taste in beer.

Re: Diet Coke overtakes Pepsi as the #2 Soda

Colas and sodas, diet or not, are some of the worst things you can put in your body and that includes hardcore narcotics. Seriously, between the sugar and corn syrup in the regular ones or the aspartame or any of the other chemically engineered artificial sweeteners in the diet ones, you're screwed either way.

Having said that, I do enjoy a Dr. Pepper or Cherry Coke once in a great while, even though I know it's as bad for you as meth, just in a very different way.

I like how you were able to make a point without exaggerating

Mountain Dew FTW.

I don't really care either way for Pepsi or Coca-Cola. I like them both. Diet Coke is gross. Coke Zero and Pepsi Max/Pepsi One are pretty good, too.

Didn't know Pepsi was even that popular. I guess it's not that big in Texas, I really can't recall ever seeing someone ask for Pepsi or buying one at a store.

One of my favorite things about the south

Up around here (Midwest) I would say Pepsi is more popular than Coke, even... for some unknown reason.

I rarely drink sodas, but if I do its Sprite Zero.
