    Yeah, and if you don't know the vast superiority of Coke over Pepsi, well, we just can't be friends.

      Not sure about "superiority," but I do prefer Coke.

          Zero sugar. Tastes a lot more like the REAL Coke you mention. Delicious stuff, the real thing.

            No sweetener?

            I drink about a liter and a half of carbonated water (SodaStream) a day.

              David Attenborough: Pufferfish release a toxin when they puff out that is meant to impair the attacker, so they can safely escape. Ironically, this doesn’t work on dolphins in the same way.. it actually gets them high. So they purposely inflate them and pass them around to their dolphin friends for fun.

                  Mexican Coke… Made with cane sugar, and served in the traditional glass bottles that fit perfectly in the hand…

                  When I was younger, I was used to Pepsi and it was the favorite in our house, but these days it’s too sweet.

                    I will never forgive Coca Cola or give them any money unless some social situation requires it. The cost of that is low for me as I’m not generally a soda drinker.

                    Only non-witches get due process.

                      Forgive? Is that over the whole new Coke thing?

                          I get it. But I occasionally (like when I'm having Skyline) crave a Coke Zero or a Minute Maid Zero Sugar lemonade.

                                Around 77 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period, North America looked vastly different from today. A shallow inland sea, the Western Interior Seaway, split the continent into two landmasses: Laramidia in the west and Appalachia in the east.
                                Laramidia, a narrow strip along the western coast, was a haven for dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, and duck-billed hadrosaurs. Appalachia, separated by the seaway, had its own unique ecosystems. Dense forests, swamps, and evolving flowering plants dominated the landscapes, while marine reptiles like mosasaurs and ammonites thrived in the seaway.
                                The climate was warmer, with no polar ice caps, creating lush environments perfect for prehistoric giants.

                                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                        Not possible!

                                        My understanding is that people change the climate.

                                        No people, no climate change, just happy endangered species.
