Finally I gave up and moved over to the soda machine hoping for some type of juice. None.

So I got some clear looking pepsi and I could only drink 1/3 of it before getting disgusted. Then I saw a water fountain and emptied the soda into that and filled it with water. So it cost me like $8 for a bottle to fill with water from a water fountain.
The quote "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice..." comes to mind.

But $8 :lol:

I usually drink Diet Dew or Coke Zero, it depends if I'm in the mood for cola or not.

The true holy grail of calorie free pop though.... its Cherry Coke Zero, it is really hard to find at gas stations and other convenience stores, at least where I go.

Are you guys actually intimating that Diet Mountain Dew is better than the real thing?

This would be akin to claiming that a non-alcoholic beer is better than beer.

I was going to say the exact same thing. :D Good call.

They were handing out free Coke Zero after a Cardinals game a few years ago, and I remember seeing most people just throwing it away instead of drinking it (wasteful, obviously). I tried one sip and gave it to my dad. Couldn't stand it.
