My first swig of pop in almost eight whole years – and it tastes ever so sweet

- HOW THE HELL DO ANY OF YOU GUYS EVEN DRINK THIS STUFF ANYMORE!?!?!?
Yeah… So my brother was at the local 7’eleven by my place the other day and went on over to pick up some Canada Dry Gingerale for my dad because he wasn’t feeling very well and wanted something to help upset his stomach. After just one single sip, my dad just couldn’t drink it at all anymore, and said that it was because it was way too sweet, even for him. He then offered me the rest of the drink to finish and being somebody who hasn’t had any pop since ’06 when I gave it up in an attempt to lose weight, I was a bit hesitant at first to even try it but decided to just drink it since I didn’t want all that sugary goodness to go to waste, and also I doubt that after one drink that I would get instantly hooked to start drinking pop again. So, I took one gracious sip, and my face literally went like, “Whooooa!!!” (and not in a good way)
Apparently this “gingerale” has over 51 grams of sugar in just one messily can; it almost taste as sweet as one of those Mountain Dews I used to have way back. Jebus!!!
So, yeah…I’m going back to good ‘ol precious water, sweet, sweet precious water.
I was gonna post that you shouldn't start drinking pop again based on the status title but I see that isn't necessary! I've been working on cutting pop out of my diet with some success and mostly saving it for mixing with booze (which I also need to drop). Not only is it unhealthy it's expensive for five cents of syrup!
I have soda every now and then. I kicked it a while back for similar weight loss reasons, but due to my new work in Alberta that point is null- you lose weight regardless of what you're doing up there, about 1 or 2 pounds a turnaround.
Alas, I hit the bad diet pretty hard during Christmas break for obvious reasons, so I need to start cutting back and weightlifting again.

*Soda
You call it soda, I call it pop. At least I didn’t call it a “fizzy drink” like some people do. :P
And yeah, pop is f’in terrible. I actually woke up the next day after drinking that stupid gingerale feeling pretty lousy. Well, lesson learned.
(Now if I could only cut out on the pizza...)
