My wife sure does. We constantly battle over how much pop I drink because of the caffine content. It dilutes many medications that I'm on and makes them less effective.

Soda pop is nasty, I never drink the stuff.
And on another note. Get yourself some pepsi or coke; either will do. And get yourself a penny that has been coated in grime for years.
Put the penny in a glass of coke and watch as it comes out looking sparkly and new.
Then think---I drink that stuff.
If it will do that, then my insides must be completely free of grime... now I feel a lot better. Thanks Derden.

Here's another debate: Pop or Soda?

It's pop. The only people who say soda are those backwards southerners.

Pop...
I also like to call it betes (pronounced "beat is" ala Wilford Brimley), but that hasn't caught on very well.
Haven't had a sip of pop in about a year now...good riddance.

I say pop, Michelle says soda. She says I'm a hick.  I rarely drink pop/soda. I go weeks without having any, and Sprite is the only one I really like. Red cream soda is pretty good too, once in a while.

Wilford is the spokesman for liberty medical during the Price is Right commercial airings, he pronounces diabetes in an odd way (edit: dia-beetis).. He has been parodied on the internet, and popular shows like SNL, Family Guy, and the Colbert Report.

I get it, I'm going to start using that if it's okay. Maybe with a little help, it'll catch on....

Dr Pepper. I drink too much, though. When we have some, I always have a can in hand.
Pop, by the way.

"... Family Guy, and the Colbert Report."
Just returned from the Publix supermarket and bought a case of generic diet soda. As I approached the checkout I passed the Pharmacy where the head Pharmacist looked exactly like the "FAMILY GUY"...not similar to him but exactly like him. I burst out laughing and he saw me laughing at him.
After I decided he wasn't going to come out of the penalty box and kill me I started to approach the window and he said, "I know, I know...the Family Guy,right???" I was speechless,smiled and waved goodbye...better not return there again!

My POINT is...because it continues to be missed...that *most* people will probably not change their Coke/Pepsi drinking habits just because they start putting the caffeine content on the can. We already know that stuff is loaded with caffeine...and sugar...and other bad things. We still drink it, right? If people really cared, they would stop drinking it with the already listed ingredients.

I used to like Pepsi but it tastes gross to me now. Now it's Coke or Cherry Coke only! That Vault is good stuff too!
Anyone tried the new Cherry Coke with zero calories? I have found that all of those drinks taste like crap so I don't want to spend money to try it out to just throw it away.
Maybe by the time it gets to Kazakhstan it's out of code.

This is just like that trans-fat thread from a while back 
I wish i can think of a good example right now to make your comment sound really ridiculous...but my brain is burnt out from 4 hours of studying heh....*sigh*
The label having caffine content is not a bad thing......its purpose isn't to make people drink LESS of the product.....if that were they case why the hell would the company put it on the label in the first place?

Ooookay.

Please point out where I said it was.

Yes, actually it is. From the original article:
"That information on soda containers will help pregnant women, parents and others concerned about adverse effects of the mildly addictive stimulant drug, which is also found in coffee, tea, chocolate and other products," the group said.
Quote:

From the original article: The companies announced the changes in response to a statement on the Internet yesterday from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer-advocacy group. The group, which has called for mandatory caffeine labeling since 1997, praised Pepsi's new labels and called on Coca-Cola to follow suit.
So, really...because some consumer group thinks that people are too stupid to know soda contains a lot of caffeine, these compaines are bowing to them knowing full well people won't stop drinking it.

I see i might have come off a little too blunt in my reply to you...i am not saying you or your reply are ridiculious..... I was not implying you are saying it's a bad thing to label the pop cans Quote:
soda contains a lot of caffeine,
Do you know how much it contains? i sure don't and i don't....it's just matter of having more information for yourself....i wouldn't consider myself stupid because a company puts a label on a product telling it's consumers how much of something they are drinking....
The company is going along with new trends in health that seem to be driving people crazy lately..why now if that group has been at it since mid 90s? It's not because of that group i bet it's because their marketing people told them hey in this day and age people like to see what they are eating/drinking so by putting this on it will be a good publicity....(for now) i think that is the only reason they put it on there..but thats just me...i don't think soda consumption will drop a lot in longterm..
I find it helpful to know exactly how much caffine i will be taking in when i drink a can of pop(...yes pop )
I still dissagree with you that the purpose of the label is to make people drink less of the companies product....can it possibly lead to people drinking less because they know what they are drinking? sure...but like you said most people won't...and i think thoes people are the people that need to be taught that it's important to look at thigns before u jus drink/eat it..... Just like everything else people won't care at first and continue their regular habbits...but down the road u better believe people will look at that label and look at the caffine....(probably not the same people)
I wonder if it's even enough caffine in thoes things for this to be debate...maybe it's not as much as one thinks? who knows...i haven't seen one yet or know how much is in one...
As for myself i will look at the caffine when i drink it...i'm a bit of a health nut...so i'm very thankful for the label...

I agree......look back 50 years.......before all the "label the ingredients " crap. Seems to me the farmers that ate bacon and eggs and sausage every morning, with all the cholesterol, .....well they lived a good long life. Trans fats? Yeah, they were rampant in the "good old days". And people still managed to make it.
Watch t.v. for 1 hour now a days, and you won't believe how many health problems there are - and all you have to do is take a pill........plus deal with the side effects.
How on earth did mankind ever survive? You know, prior to knowing what exactly they were eating and drinking, and prior to having a pill for every little thing that might possibly be wrong with them. Oh, that's right, they died, just like we all will.......Live a perfect life, eating and drinking the "pure" stuff, and what have you done? Extended your life by a couple of years?

You said it your self... "the farmers" ate bacon and eggs....they actually had physical labor to do for living.....an avg job in the US consist of someone waking up...eating bacon and eggs DRIVING to work...and sitting at a desk from 9-5....DRIVE home and sit on their ass on the couch to watch tv and eat more......
It's called change.....there are about 100 more options to a avg consumer at a grocery store now then there was 50 years ago.......you HAVE to watch what you put in ur body now a days....
I never understand why people are so resistant to change....it's a simple theory some old guy came up with(darwin).... survival of the fittest...one must do what it takes to survive..and in this day and age you gotta watch whta hell ur puttin in ur going to come down with somethin nasty like diabetes or cholestrole down the road...unless you are a farmer in that case eat away

you are not an ass michelle. And you are right...i do not consume pop usually...but this is exactly what i was telling you when i wrote that long post lol... That because of that label i might now...because i know what i'm putting in and i might say to myself well hey if it's that much it should be okay if i consume this much this many times a week or something...it gives a option to someone who otherwise might not have consumed it.... I am sorry if i am still missing your point...i thought all u were saying is that by putting a label on the can the company is mocking the public and that group because they think everyones too stupid to care about the label...while i think the only reason they put it on there was because someone told them they would actually make more money if they do....just my 2 cents

That depends on who you ask.
I'm going to finish with this conversation though, as I really don't care what they put on the label...I will probably still drink cola now and then. And, if I really want to know what's in a product, I can always look it up online.
From Pepsi.com (FAQ's):
Pepsi (8 fl. oz)
Contains: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, phosphoric acid, caffeine, citric acid and natural flavors
Calories 100
Total Fats (g) 0
Sodium (mg) 25
Potassium (mg) 10
Total Carbohydrates (g) 27
Sugars (g) 27
Protein (g) 0
Caffeine (mg) 25
There you have it. 25mg of caffeine in 8 ounces of Pepsi. 8 ounces...that's not even a can, which is 12 ounces, so now I have to divide 25mg by 2 to get the total for the addition four ounces in a can. So, what does 37.5 mg of caffeine mean to me? Nothing. I wouldn't know if it's a bad number or not. The sodium, carbs, and sugars are FAR more alarming to me.

thanks for that...37.5 per can that actually isn't horrible at all...
I've learned from school you should keep it lower than 200-300mg/day
Just thought i should put that up since you made the effort...
Yah only thing i really cared for before was the sugar...

I wish they put the caffeine content on everything, that way I'd know how much to drink before I start shaking. It was a gameday last year, and for some reason I had two cappuccinos, and then a 20oz mountain dew. Boy was I wired, but I was sure pumped up for the game. Doesanyone know if there's any good way to get rid of the shakes? I just started drinking downing water.

The only alcohol I ever dranken was some wine and a couple of beers, but I have a feeling that will change in the future, seeing that I'm a Browns fan.
