Pepsi

[Jeannie]

Ok so I have not enjoyed a Pepsi since 1/16/11, that is the day I stopped drinking Pepsi. I cannot believe how I still get cravings for it. Today was one of those days. So this evening I get a small glass, add some ice and pour in some freshly opened Pepsi. As it fizzes my mouth is watering, I can feel my heart beating fast and my palms sweating. I close my eyes and take a big swallow and....gag, cough, spit, YUK. How aweful, so sweet and syrupy (is that a word). I had to chase it with a big drink of water and I can still taste it! It is amazing how long cravings can effect you.

I know what you mean! I can't stand colas anymore. An occasional Sprite, but no brown drinks. Plus, they now taste like there is detergent in them. YUK! But fortunately, I don't crave them and I was a big time addict for years.

I still enjoy an occasional fountain drink with lots of ice and a straw.....but never buy pop for at home. We just drink water

I did the same but with coke. drank it for over 20 years and quit. now I dont like the taste at all. very strange!!

We just drink water

I drink more water now than I ever had. Also lots of tea.

 

[Erika]

your correct soda tastes nasty, havent drank any in about 4 yrs, dont crave it either

I never drink colas, only clear sodas and water

I quit drinking it a couple of years ago. It kept tasting flat to me and I couldn't figure out why. Finally realized it was a side effect of a migraine prevention medicine (Topamax) that I was on. I only drink it once in a while now, if I have pizza or a burger.

if I have cola I always add a slice of lime or lemon to it, tastes a lot nicer that way or I mix it in milk cola milk is quite nice and as you dont add a lot of cola it is still good for the kids when they are growing up

I had not had a Diet Pespi in several months. We had a "End of Summer" BBQ at work yesterday. They had some diet Pepsi, so I had a glass. Could not believe how Yucky it tasted. Lately I drink Water, Crystal Lite, or something similar. Still like Ginger Ale (Diet) when I can find one, but I'm trying to stay away from all Soda/Pop.

When I was last in the Hospital, one of the nurses gave me a very large cup of Orange Gatorade...and I have been hooked every since. I still have the case of Coca Cola which we bought last November and it still has about 6-7 cans in it. I prefer the Gatorade...never liked the yellow flavor ( Lemon Lime ) but Orange....oh that's a whole new ball game there.

Drink filtered water. Always disliked sodas. Especially after seeing coke used to clean car battery. Scary.

Do like diluted coffee and hot chocolate and strawberry lemonade but do not indulge these much.

Favorite thing was ice cream, gave it up, still tastes great but too strong. Craving is slowly going away.

Best thirst quencher? Big slice fresh cold Hermiston watermelon. Heavenly hydration!

Coke should only be served with a Captain Morgan and a Lime. That's the only way I drink coke...and it has to be a hot day... And on the boat!

I hear ya. Orange Gatorade is the best.
