I have an addiction...
to coke! And by coke, I mean coca-cola, not the drug! I can't help it! Before I was pregnant, I liked diet coke. But during my pregnancy, I craved coke so badly! I couldn't drink it often, so now I can't get enough. Not a good way to lose baby lbs, huh?
I love Coke too. I usually drink Diet Mt Dew, but every once in awhile, I get a craving for a good cold Coke.
It's too sweet for me, now, but I used to love it!
I'm a Pepsi girl but that craving can hit so hard sometimes! I had to wean myself off of them (I was up to 2 cans a day), in order to lose weight, but every few weeks I just have to have one.
Ever since my second grade teacher (dear Mrs. Keefe, may she rest in peace) dissolved a volunteer student's tooth in a glass of Coke, I have not been a big fan of soda. LOL! It's an occasional treat around here.
Coke is my big weakness too. I have actually gone about 5 days without it, and I can't stand it anymore. Cheap no-name or store brand pop just doesn't cut it.
I was a Pepsi girl.. Now, I just say NO... I quit drinking soda/pop about three years ago..
Diet Pepsi, here. I'm trying to cut way back and drink more water. I crave it so much at times, too. Wonder if they put something in there on purpose, lol.
Nicki, many decades ago, they actually put cocaine in Coke to make it addicting. That is where the name came from. It was invented in the late 1800's by a pharmacist, when drug stores had soda fountains. I know what you mean, Dawn. Ugghh! I used to drink the "real thing" years ago, but I have been drinking diet for so many years now, the other tastes like pure sugar! LOL!
Have you tried coke zero? It's not the diet taste, more the real thing taste. I still like diet coke, but try it. You may not be able to tell the difference.
Hmmm... maybe I will try the coke zero!
I used to have the same addiction. LOL My X used to give me a hard time about it because it was the first thing I drank in the morning and the last thing at night, and I actually kept a large glass of it on the bedside table! LOL Now I drink about a pot of coffee in the morning and water all day and night. I rarely drink Coke or Sprite now - maybe once or twice a week lately, but recently I've gone months with them.
