You should try Fanta here. They use a combination of both sugers and artificial sweeteners (ie aspartame). My god, i felt ill.

A good old normal Coke never fails to put a smile on my face, but I've seen myself drinking Red Bull lately - though I'm not sure it's a soft drink.

we drink sunkist here, tastes so much better than fanta, fanta tastes artificially sweetened and leaves a funny taste in my mouth.

I am also a ginger beer fiend. Luuuurve it.

Sprite. Or sometimes Diet Coke (I know everyone hates it, but I just can't stomach normal coke!)

When we're in the States, we drink root beer and nothing else. Here it's water or Coke Zero.

Where's the "soft drink is the work of the devil, it rots your teeth and destroys your guts - I don't drink it" option?

I drink water. Or beer

Hey Kevin

Coke Zero Caffeine Free at the moment for my wife and myself too (my wife has been having it for the last year, me on and off for that period). Love Dr Pepper, Cherry Coke and Coke but now that I have turned 31 my metabolism is not what it used to be... I found Dr Pepper and Cherry Coke at Garden City a few months back and payed for it for about a month after.

I have been drinking normal coke here in Thailand (plus shitloads food) and have noticed the weight being packed on again.

Well I am off to the buffet breakfast, who cares I am on holidays - have to hit the treadmill harder when I get home next week.

Cheers Daniel

I used to be a ginger beer or coke guy. Now 3 years in Japan it is all TOOOOOO sweet.

The fridge in the servo or convenience store just wipes me out...

even most of the teas are liquid sugar.

When I'm in Australia now it is water, coffee (unsweetened), whiskey or beer.

or failing that.. schweppes bitter lemon.

I voted for Coke Zero as when I have to have a soft drink, it is what I choose.
I do tend to buy Pepsi Max though as it is only $7.99 - $9.99 for 24 cans.

My all time favourite is Mountain Dew (but I don't think there is a diet version of this so I don't drink it anymore).
