The last time I drank Coca-Cola/any fizzy drink/soda was...
Last September in Amsterdam on this weekender party/trip, somebody, my new friend bought me a JD and coke...
It was a special occasion...
Point is, me and soda... not anymore.
I heard a rumour, turned out to maybe be a hoax, about Pepsi "the lesser of the two evils"... Anyway... I heard that Pepsi (as well as Nestl? and Kraft) were using HEK293 (Human baby embryos)! - so that put me off, and I was standing in one of the local shops working out what soda I wanted... Knowing this about Pepsi... Thinking to myself
"Get Coca-Cola!"
"No wait! It cleans your toilet!"
"Makes pennies shiny!"
"Get Pepsi..."
"No wait, that contains our unborn!"
"Well get Coca-Cola!"
"But that cleans your toilet!"...
So I thought
"Ah **** it!"
I probably got a protein shake or water something.
But me and soda... No.
I used to LOVE Dr.Pepper... But...
I was happily drinking a full fat Dr.Pepper from Subway...
Read the bottle, just for the hell of it, and to my surprise/horror it said
aspartame...
I stopped drinking it then and there.
Finished my subway, and haven't touched Dr.Pepper since.
This was also last year, or late year before last.
Even if HEK293 turns out to be a hoax, I personally think I'm better of off the soda.
But that's how I remember the last time I had one, in Amsterdam.
I mean, Coca-Cola is a drink BEST SERVED CHILLED, but...
To get us to still buy it in the winter months, I hear they turned Father Christmas/Santa Claus 'Coca-Cola Red' and came up with a bunch of polar bears and semi trucks.

On the flipside to this thread where you include energy drinks...
I still enjoy those..
Ginseng you have Monster and Pussy options, Pussy is grape flavoured and, has a great can. (I am a sucker).
Red Bull for your caffeine fix
Glucose from Lucozade..
Honestly, I'd take bull pee over human foetuses or toilet cleaner any day.
