I highly recommend the Diet Rite Red Raspberry and Tangerine...I'm not overly fond of the white grape, and I get my cola fix with the Diet Coke with lime...

although, after drinking nothing but water for the better part of 6 months, they do have a little bit of a 'taste' to get used to.

And WHEN do you get out of the bathroom to function?

Hrm...how's the sodium in it? Doesn't seltzer have a fair amount of sodium in it? I'll try it if it's low enough. Trying to get away from diet drinks that have anything artificial in it (aspartame, etc.). And plain water with lemon gets boring after a while (although I make a mean homemade lemonade w/Stevia). ;)

That reminds me: I got an offer for some Stevia products that I should be taking advantage of soon. :thumpsup:

club soda has sodium, seltzer doesn't

Good then I'll try it. :thumpsup:

30mg per 8 fl oz.

That work for you?

Actually, I'm pretty prone to infections of both, that's one reason I maintain my water-drinking even when I'm not necessarily thirsty. Also take a daily cranberry supplement. But it's true (warning: :vomit: may lie ahead for some, read at your own risk) I have a very spacious bladder. My husband used to think it was tiny since I have to go all the time, but he learned otherwise on a long car trip once... I really, really had to go, and we were stuck in standstill traffic in the middle of nowhere. I eventually had to climb in the back of the minvan and go in an empty fast food drink cup. It was the largest size Whataburger sells, somewhere in the realm of 45-50 oz., I'd estimate. I filled it to the brim, and then half full again. He has had a great respect for my bladder ever since then. :)

If you're lucky enough to find Reed's Spiced Apple Brew there, stock up. (It's "seasonal" at the ones on the east coast, i.e. whenever they feel like carrying it.)

Boylan's sodas (Cane Cola, Grape, Black Cherry, Orange, and others) are all excellent.

Again, if that one carries regular Hansen's brands, they're also good.

And, of course, I can't go in a Trader Joe's without walking out with bagfuls of non-soda items...

BrianR 07-21-2004 09:25 PM

Such as? I've never been to a Trader Joe's. Although I hear tell that there's one now at 20th and Market st in Philly. No direct evidence though as I don't get to that area much anymore, ever since I had my car stolen there.

elSicomoro 07-21-2004 09:35 PM

22nd and Market...I work just down the street from it.

BrianR 07-21-2004 09:43 PM

Close.

Well, it's not like I'm not also one, albeit from a different perspective. You play for a different team, while I sit in the stands and heckle, but as long as the Yankees lose, everything's good.
