:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::ROFL::ROFL::ROFL: yeah, that's kinda the relationship I've had with pepsi for a while now :oops:
I was never a big soda pop drinker, especially not of Coke or Pepsi; when I would have some, I would more often than no choose something non-caffeinated, even as a kid and not knowing anything about caffeine. At movie theaters, I would ask them to mix orange and sprite for me (and of course, both are caffeine free) :D The last few times I had pop, it gave me terrible pains with the carbonation. I also tried some, oh, what's it called? Fresca? Grapefruit flavored diet soda a few years ago, my pastor's wife had some, they used to have people over for an afternoon luncheon following Sunday service... I found I quite liked the flavor of it and bought some as a summer drink for myself, only to discover that aspartame is toxic to me :oops::rolleyes:o_O:rolleyes::oops: So that was the end of that :LOL:

so you're concluding that I'm a troll, because I asked magenta, is she offended ?
Wow, and you folks claim to be Christians huh ? 🤔
That's Incredible.
It's just a small misunderstanding, let's not blow things out of proportion. Tbh some things you said earlier sounded oddly confrontational to me too but I chose to not say it, assuming it is likely a misreading on my part. Tone unfortunately doesn't carry well into text, especially when one doesn't use a bunch of emojis constantly. Which nobody's obliged to do of course, but it's just how it goes, it happens.

I can't drink fizzy drinks either it upsets my stomach which is probably a good thing in this instance as they contain way too much sugar. Also I have heard alot of people are addicted to mountain dew. Is there something particularly addictive in this drink? Too many testimonies of people who prayed for their addiction to mountain dew to end.

Yes, MD has exorbitant amounts of sugar and sky-high caffeine levels.

Bob was hooked on it for a time, too...

Soda was actually invented by a pharmacist as a treatment for upset stomach. It's what Alka-Seltzer is. Carbonated water. Then the pharmacists started adding flavors to it later on. But yea now it's got a lot of sugar. But I only drink diet which has no sugar and zero calories, but it does use artificial sweeteners.

I found out what was eating my lettuce seedlings. Demolished it overnight.



It's a skink. He appeared whilst I was watering the other seedlings last night. I thought the water would scare him off but he just sat there loving the shower. He even waved with his front foot. He sat there lapping up the water. Poor guy must have been very thirsty. It has been stinking hot here for the past month with no relief. I haven't forgiven him nor named him and hope he won't come back.

I drank some with Stevia instead of sugar for a while...

A few years ago I tried taking up pop drinking but it did not work out for me LOL

Even though it was pretty tasty ;):D
