    How much do you both drink in the run of a day.. Thanks

    2 - 12 oz cans of diet A&W per day. I still drink plenty of water and get most of my caffeine from unsweetened iced tea.

    I don't know what "diet pop" is, but I do drink diet soda. :wink:

    Once upon a time soda was called soda pop.

    Some regions of the country shortened that to soda, while other regions shorten that to pop.

    And in the Midwest, it's still soda pop.

    I drink 2 a day - one for breakfast, one as an afternoon snack. Water was getting pretty boring.

    I'm from the Midwest and I've never heard "soda pop" except in old movies.

    Yeah, I mostly hear pop, sometimes soda, never both.

    I'd occasionally hear what sounded like "sody pop", usually as a joke

    I drink about a 12 pack a week of Diet Dew. I drink a can each on my drive to and from the gym for the caffeine and alertness. It at least doubles when I'm working because I do 20oz bottles in the afternoon - for the flavor and also caffeine

    I was just wondering who still drinks diet pop even with all the studies on aspartame. I drink 2-3 cans a day and am not sure if i should quit it.

    Thanks

    Did you read the studies to find out?

    Does my afternoon Monster Ultra Zero (no calories) count towards "soda?" It's fizzy and delicious, and gets me through the afternoon slump.

    My mother insists on calling it poison. She calls everything poison. Know what her favorite food is? Hot dogs! I remind her that hot dogs are one of the least healthiest foods ever. I believe pop...diet or otherwise...is okay in moderation. I like Diet Dew and Diet Dr Pepper. I don't drink it every day, but I have no guilt or regrets whatsoever about drinking DIET pop. I prefer it over regular because the regular is syrupy. All pop is bad for us. But we're all gonna die someday, might as well die happy.

    if I drink pop, it will be diet unless unavailable or someone in the family already opened a non-diet drink. I like it, and have been drinking it for well over 30 yrs. I think I am fine :)

    I drink 4 cans ov Vanilla Coke Zero everyday.

    No guilt.

    It's my last little vice. I'm down a hundred pounds and I haven't had a cigarette in a year. A little aspertame never hurt no one.

    im sorry. Did you say Vanilla Coke Zero?!?! What magic is this?!?! American magic I cannot get in Canada no doubt. You just blew my mind with the fact this exists

    I love everything diet pop and likely won't ever stop drinking it. About 2 cans a day. More if I could get my hands on Vanilla Coke Zero

    @cerise_noir I've heard halo top is trying but we have complicated dairy regulations. I have no idea what the Coke Zero hold up is

    What are these regulations? I've only been in Quebec for 10 years and had no idea there was such thing.

    Yeah, no idea why. I have seen coke zero vanilla in stores for limited times, but never zero cherry.

    This is a crazy idea, but does your Sobeys have a "foreign" food aisle? Mine have it with Thai, Indian, Danish, German, and, yes, British. Sometimes I can find vanilla Coke in the British section. Haven't checked for flavored Coke Zero. I've been miffed there were no Jaffa cakes this year. :(
