    Coke also works well to clean up pennies...they are bright & look good as new after spending the night in some Coke! Scary to really think what it does to the human body isn't it?

    I don't drink a lot of pop & when I do it's generally 7-Up.

    We rarely have soda, for us it is one of those once in a blue moon occasional treats. Our dentist has told us for our teeth it is better to drink rootbeer, if caffiene is an issue, than a clear soda such as sprite, because the citrus acid in sprite can damage the enamal (sp) of the teeth.

    No doubt! I rather have four beers than one pop. hehe

    Seriously, I've been wanting to cut the pop addiction for a long time and I've done it before. I only have one or two diet cokes a day now compared to like a 6 pack!!

    Dh cut his Dr.Pepper habit! yipee! More money for lotto tickets at the convenience store.
