I forgot to bring some cans of Pepsi to my apartment this week, so I went down to Schnuck's tonight to get two two-liter bottles. I pour myself a glass and settle down to a chicken salad sandwich (courtesy of the Magic Bullet) and the Pepsi tastes awful. I thought it might've been the cup or that things just taste weirder in St. Louis than they do at my other home, but after going through my second glass, I checked the date on the bottle and it's August freaking 13th!

Why would they do such a thing? I'll drink Pepsi expired or not, but I kinda prefer it when it's NOT five months old.

I can't drink soda if it's even anywhere close to the expiration date, really. If it's past it, much less way past it like the soda you picked up, forget it. Bleccccch.

Which Schnucks was it, so I know to avoid it?

Webster Groves. Tonight was the first time I was disappointed in it.

I don't understand why anyone buys two-liter bottles. They always go flat before you are finished, and taste weird compared to cans.

It's cheaper. I had to switch to two-liter bottles recently when I moved out on my own for the first time and I miss having it in cans more than anything. And yes, they always go flat way too soon. You better enjoy your two liter the moment you open it, because the taste of soda is gone after that first moment.

I only rarely buy cans now and only if what I want is only available in cans.

I only buy diet coke and think it's the biggest offender as far as tasting totally different (worse) out of the bottle. Plus, I a) hate doing dishes, and b) like to grab one when I'm leaving the house.I guess I knew it was cheaper, but I never think to buy it that way for a variety of reasons.

My two two-liters cost a freaking buck! I was thinking it was more like $1.30-1.50.

If I had bought, say, six two-liters; that'd be 384 ounces of soda for three dollars! No wonder Schnuck's is selling me soda from August.

I only like fountain sodas, so every time I want a soda I go through a drive thru and ask for one.

Gross. Fountain sodas are ridiculously sweet or extremely watery. I think McDonald's is the only restaurant that has good fountain soda. The only time I will drink Coca-Cola is if it's from McD's.

I don't understand the appeal of soda.
