2 x 355ml cans I presume.
Ah, ours are 330. I often have one to get me through a sleepy afternoon at work.

I drink roughly 4.2 liters of soda every day.  Diet, though.
I couldn't drink that much of anything in a day. It must feel like being waterboarded. Expensive too.

It's barely a gallon. :huh:

And only twelve cans (4260 mL).  Costs roughly US$2.00.  (Yeah, yeah: I don't really like paying for the constant, obtrusive advertising campaigns of brand name soda companies, and Sam Walton makes a nice phosphate.)

Quote from: BarristerI sure as hell don't drink 4.2L of coffee. :huh:

No, but you drink coffee and water.  I drink one thing that has the finer qualities of both, none of the downsides, plus delightful carbonation.

Anyway, if it turns out aspartame really can hurt a human being, I'm in a prime position to find out and recover.

You really don't believe in healthy eating do you Ideo.  :console:

Let's not go crazy. I drink 4 liters of water a day & I feel fine.

But it's diet!

Besides, I probably do consume less fat than most folk, by default. :)

That's hardly the beginning and end of healthy eating. :console:

They also have 710mL bottles now.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I drink 710ml of Pepsi everyday. That's actually down form my previous intake by a significant margin.
That's a very precise amount  :huh:

2 x 355ml cans I presume.

I rarely drink pop.  Lost my sweet tooth several years ago I think.  Little interest in sweets in general.

My sweet tooth has gotten really bad in the 3 years since I quit smoking, not sure how solid the connection is though.  I still don't drink much soda but I can put a hurtin' on any cookies or candy nearby.

Especially Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. :mmm:

Is there anything Reese didn't look great in?

Yeah. Everything she did in the last 15 years.

The best Dr. Pepper substitute is Dr. Skipper, the Safeway brand.
