Is this really a question? I mean do you get a Jack & Coke or a Jack & Pepsi? Come on! We all know the answer to this one, thus Coke is it.
As I said before, it's because a "Coke" has gone beyond a brand name. You're not getting a Band-Aid or a Kleenex everytime you ask for one and you're not getting a Jack and Coke every time you order one.Is this really a question?

To average 3 lbs per week with only diet, that's a calorie deficit of 1500 per day with no extra burn. That's frankly amazing. So again, congrats. In your earlier post, you said a pop (or more) a day. A can of pop is about 150. If you cut out two of those a day, that's a 300 calorie deficit, or about 2/3 or a pound per week. That's why I didn't believe you got to 30 lbs in 2 1/2 months just by switching to diet. You sound pretty disciplined; you are in the minority.I don't exercise. I hate it. I've done nothing other than restrict my calorie intake. I know with certainty that I wouldn't be doing this well (averaging close to 3 lbs. lost per week) if I drank regular pop at the rate I do diet. I know that diet pop isn't doing anything nutritionally for me, but even one regular pop per day would be over 10% of my calories, whereas I could theoretically drink 100 diet pops a day a still lose at the rate I have been.
Sorry for the thread hijack everyone - I see this position advanced all the time (that regular pop is better for you than diet) and its basis is specious, in that it proposes a 100% link between drinking diet and consuming junk calories elsewhere.
I did write 'anecdotely'. Did I spell it wrong?Unless you know the eating habits and personal health history of the people you see all you really know is that the thin people you observe prefer regular pop.

Rookies: What a waste of good Jack Daniels by ruining it with anything but "on the rocks".

The Cuba Libre was first, but kinda of forgotten now. Off topic: Anyone else like the Lime Ricky favor of Pop Shoppe pop?Well...it's really called a Cuba Libre.
Personally, I'm a Pepsi guy.
I'm also a Dapper Dan man.
Does anyone really like Pepsi better than Coke? (especially the diet versions)
Losing weight is incredibly easy compared to keeping it off. I started a diet shortly after Thanksgiving during my junior year of college. Didn't give up beer totally, but I drank a lot of Vodka and Crystal Light before I went out. By Christmas of my senior year, I had dropped more than 125 lbs. Since then, I've put on a bunch, lost a bunch, put on a bunch and now I'm back on the way down again. If you're not on top of things, it can get out of hand really quickly.I love reading Gopher Hole for diet advice! Lol. Btw, congrats dpo. Losing that much weight is awesome and incredibly difficulty.
For the record, I was weaned on coke since my Dad worked for Coca Cola Bottling Midwest. But, now I only drink Diet Pepsi!Believe it or not, my Dad hasn't disowned me.

There's no lime juice in a Cuba Libre - only a lime wedge.

Where do you find lime wedges that don't contain lime juice?![]()
Chivas 'n Coke mmmm...good!
Some of the worst I have had people order.
Hennesy and Coke
Scotch and sour
Jack Daniels Alexander.
That's my thought also. I drink my liquor "neat" but my wife loves a Margarita. Tried them wife the "bar pour" and a good agave Tequila and the latter always seems better.
As for the O.P. couldn't they allow the Vikes to use the Gatorade tubs and cups but keep the Coke signage and leave it up to TV to keep the signs out of the broadcast?
