WotAGuy Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Polar has a "Diet Dry Orange" soda that's maybe 10% orange juice. Tasty - not as good as Pellegrino, but a lot cheaper. Polar just came out with a diet Dry Pink Grapefruit that's 6% juice. Also very good. The best though was the real concord grape juice my mother made when I was a kid. She crushed and boiled the grapes, ran them through cheesecloth, then canned it. The juice was thick, sweet/tart and delicious.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 coffee. anyone who says otherwise is a godless communist and needs purging from this board.
YoloinOhio Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 coffee. anyone who says otherwise is a godless communist and needs purging from this board.I love coffee, which I think might need its own spinoff thread. I am slightly obsessed and need to know everyone's favorite so I can try them all. Non-Starbucks (I'm not a fan)
KD in CA Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I am surprised there are so many sparkling water guys on here. I discovered it as my alternative to coke about 2-3 years ago, and was pleasantly surprised. Wife drinks it constantly so now I do too. But as far as favorites: Before 11:00am -- coffee After 11:00 -- Arnold Palmer
Mark80 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Cornell Dairy whole chocolate milk. Certainly not something you want to make a habit of drinking, but it is simply phenomenal. And an ice cold glass bottle of Coke on a hot day is pretty tough to beat. I don't drink too much soda anymore so when I do, I usually try to find the glass bottles. Although much more expensive, the taste is noticeable better and with the amount of soda I drink it doesn't really matter how much it costs. To the diet soda drinkers though...are you worried about all the chemicals in it them that make it "diet"? You're better off drinking regular soda in the long run, plus, they have been shown to increase other food cravings which will often eliminate any calorie savings. To each their own, but those artificial sweeteners scare me. Edited June 29, 2015 by Mark80
Doc Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Coke, but I don't drink it much anymore. So cold water.

Stuff is great. 2) don't think its the glass bottles on the Coke that make a differnce, but the use of cane sugar vs High Fructose Corn Syrup. I eat/drink nothing. Ow with HFCS 3) a Jarritos Mandarin with an authentic Linqua or Carnitas tacos is very, very, hard to beat.
LewPort71 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Coffee in the AM. Arnold Palmer in the PM If pop is involved , Ginger Ale
Chef Jim Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 There are non-alcoholic drinks? When did this happen?
YoloinOhio Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 For the coffee drinkers on here, do you guys drink it black? I am no coffee expert, but I get a hazelnut coffee with cream and Splenda every morning. Can't drink it black. Then, in winter, go with tazo zen green tea the rest of the day. i do. Once in awhile I will have a bulletproof coffee though.
stevestojan Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Quit a 6-8 can per day habit of diet Pepsi 3 years ago. Now, ice water or soda water/seltzer. The crappy part? I feel absolutely no better and lost zero weight.
WotAGuy Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Coffee? Sumatra, Starbucks preferred but any Sumatra will do in a pinch. Black, and has to be freshly ground. Got a good conical burr grinder a few years ago and love grinding beans fresh for every 4-cup pot.
Rob's House Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Pepsi made with real sugar. I'm not one who thinks high fructose corn syrup is the poison it's made out to be, but the real sugar is so much crisper and more refreshing and it doesn't leave that fully syrup residue behind.

No...just the powdered creamer and splenda for me. On Saturdays and Sundays I splurge for Peete's ..Blue Mountain or Sumatran with the powdered creamer and the splenda
YoloinOhio Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 So Sumatran is pretty popular I see. I will need to pick some up.

I thought she was full of crap. Turns out she was just ahead of the curve on this one. Only works for high intensity workouts though. Personally, I don't work out that hard anymore to where the benefits are outweighing the negatives on such a thing, but for you, yep, it's perfect. I have to disagree with you on the bottle one. It's the same Coke product, but there is just something about the bottle that makes it taste better and more refreshing in my opinion. I'm not referring to the Mexican Coke bottles (as I believe those ones are cane sugar) just the normal US ones. Edited June 30, 2015 by Mark80

It's one of the few indulgences I have left in life.
