Racist bastage.  Every modern intellectual knows that genetics has nothing to do with anything.  It's all socio-economic pressure and discrimination that makes fat people fat, dumb people dumb, etc.

I drink the same 2 cases of pop every week and I'm slightly overweight, but it's because people like you are discriminating against me.  I'm a victim.

The only time I drink soda is when I drink tequila, my only alcoholic vice. I use diet Mountain Dew for a chaser. The only time I drink is on special occasions like my birthday, the wifes birthday and New Years. So my total soda intake for a typical year is less than a six pack.

I live in Texas, so we dont drink "pop" we drink "coke"

Let me give you an example;

burger king employee:  sir, would you like a coke

customer: yes please

burger king employee: what kind of coke do you want

customer:  a sprite...

 

Yeah I've experienced this, I have a lot of family in houston and when we go out to a restaurant and the waitress is taking my order I'll ask what kinda pop do you have, they always give me this funny look like I'm speaking Japanese, my family members with me then explain to her that I mean soda.

I finish a two liter bottle of Dr. Pepper every other day. I don't drink cans of coke. I always end up with around 10 empty cans on my desk at the end of the day.

Your short attention spans are starting to make a lot more sense to me...

[Larry]

Who are you and what are you talking about?

Forget this thread lets go on to the next one, see you there.

Not necessarily, Like I said, I drink 2 cases a pop a week and I'm thin, hell I wish I could put on more weight, it all depends on your body type & your metabolism.

This has nothing to do with genetics.  It's a simple numeric equivalency between the calories in 365 cans of soda and 14 lbs of body fat.

TRAX!   

Thank you for that little bit of Chicagoland terminology like "is it lit?", and "can I go with?"...the ever loveable "pop'.

Wisconsin folks insist it's "soda", but then again they call water fountains "bubblers" too.   Go figure.

I average 4 "Pops" a day...they are all sugar free though.  And decaffinated pop?  Why bother.

The big thing here in the South of course is sweet tea, year round.

When I was a kid and went for weeks at a time to Northeast Mississippi to see our family, they had access to pops I had only seen in the South: Chocolate Soldier, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, and Orange Crush...decades later they were bought up and went national.

Then again, southern folks had never heard of Nehi, Royal Crown, or Fresca back then either.  Back then, some sodas were indeed regional, except for Coke & pepsi.

Nothing better than A&W root beer--NOT in a can, but served in the frosty mug right there at the restaraunt by a carhop on a warm summer evening with the moon reflecting off of Lake Michigan.  (I still have one of those mugs)

Yeah that's probably about what I drink too if I figured out how many cans are in a gallon, the thing is in the show they said the average was a gallon a week though, so were drinking 7 times more then average.

Also just a little bit of trivia, 40% of all the sugar usage in the U.S is all in soda pop.

You do realize that sugar as you know it really doesn't exist in any soft drinks manufactured for sale within the United States of America? Take a look at this link.

true but you can get soda with sucrose in it during the holidays. Just look for kosher Coca Cola products and you will get you fix with sugar.  It will taste different with sucrose it is a little bit sweeter.
