You drive through your favorite drive through and get your favorite tasty beverage.  Invariably [...]]]> I’m a pretty level-headed guy.  I tend to live my life with an “is what it is” or “roll with the punches” approach.  There are not too many things that really piss me off.  This happens to be one of them.

You drive through your favorite drive through and get your favorite tasty beverage.  Invariably they hand you your drink and straw and there’s pop all over the outside of the cup!  What… the… fuck!  Is is so difficult to poor Pepsi, Coke, Mountain Dew, etc. into a cup and NOT get it all over the place?  And if you do splash some of it on the cup would it be so difficult to take 4 seconds and wipe it off?

I’m not sure, I’ve never worked a drive through.  Maybe I’m being unreasonable.  Let me know.

So here’s my question — what the hell’s so damn bad about it?  I’ve seen the [...]]]> OK.  Some people call it soda, some call it pop, some call it Pepsi, others still call it a soft drink.  Just so we’re clear, I’m talking about the stuff that comes in a can/bottle that’s oh so refreshing.

So here’s my question — what the hell’s so damn bad about it?  I’ve seen the emails about how it eats through bolts and can get blood off the highway.  I’m not referring to that.  Why is it so bad from a dieting perspective?  If I’m on a diet why SHOULDN’T I drink this stuff?  It’s got no carbs, no sugar, no caffeine and no calories.  So why should I stay away from it?

No honestly… I’m looking for an answer here.  Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
