Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

I'm pretty sure the Dew still has more caffeine.... but I personally like Pepsi Max and Vault which have about 70mg / 12 oz! woo!

You can buy Jones soda at the grocery store that is made with pure cane sugar. I might have to try that one day. (here=SC, Harris Teeter, Target, Wal-mart, etc.)

Correct. I actually just looked it up.

See this nonsense: https://www.diet-blog.com/archives/20...iet_drinks.php

Diet Coke = 46.5mg/12oz
Coke = 34.5mg of caffeine/12oz
Mountain Dew = 55mg (In the US)/12oz

Redbull = 80mg/8oz
Coffee averages between 65-140mg for an 8oz drink



Edit: Check this out too... even slimfast has caffeine! https://wilstar.com/caffeine.htm

Coke Zero tastes more like coke than Diet Coke. Both Coke and Sprite Zero are pretty damn good.

i used to drink about a 12 pack of diet coke a day for quite a while...architecture school is a good place to develop bad habits. i haven't had one for about a year, but i was addicted to that stuff. now it is just black coffee - the stronger the better, kombucha, and cheap beer - preferably anything in a man can.

I am by no means a health nut, but i feel like we as a society have had this crap drizzled down our throats for too many years. I did not drink soda on a regular basis, but I find that if I do have a soda ( I have a certain affinity for Root Beer, ginger beer and Dr. Pepper) one day, then I find myself wanting another one for days after. Almost like some cruel addiction. The stuff is really terrible for you. Then again I guess it depends on who you are. I know this 70 year old lady who smokes a pack and a half of Newports everyday and has drank a six pack of Coke everyday for the past 40 years and she is still kickin, so who the hell knows..............

I can't stand the taste of Diet Coke.

If i need to drink a diet soda, i prefer Pepsi One. It uses Splenda instead of phenylalanine and doesn't leave a nasty aftertaste.

Yes. I haven't had soda in quite some time, but if I were to give in to temptation of any carbonated beverage, it'd be this one. I drank a few of these each day when I was in Juarez a couple years back, then returned the bottle. Good times.

I don't want to be the beer snob in the thread but I just got done brewing my own beer at a brewery thats basically all DIY, and the cost/beer is about the same as any domestic beer you get in the store, but tastes soooo much better and you get the satisfaction of making and bottling your own brew. Only downside (only if you don't ahve the room) is that its 15 gallons of beer in one shot.
