Do you get soda cravings?

I do, but I had surgery 3 weeks ago and my diet went basically to the BRAT diet. I was holding out for the longest time to not have any soda, but work had them yesterday. We had root beer floats. Thankfully, it wasn't much, maybe half of a little coffee cup plus ice cream. I didn't have anymore after that and I plan on holding out for as long as I can again. Before my surgery, I was drinking way too much soda and mocha frappucino.
Never.
I started drinking those! Coke Zero in the plastic bottles taste amazing!! I don't care for the others, but I'll drink the Sprite Zero because it's caffeine free.
I think once I get started on drinking pop, that I can't quit and a last year I was only drinking pop when we went out to eat. That was my treat or dessert. I need to give it all up again.
I love the zero products too! If I get a craving I go to those but I want to get to where I just stop completely.
Makes me wonder if they are addicted to the sugar or the other chemicals in the soft drinks. Or, perhaps, to the unique combination of them in it.
Before I started drinking coffee, I'm pretty sure that I was addicted to Coke. Besides liking the taste, I think it was the caffeine that "hooked" me. Since I got a "borderline diabetic" scare several years ago, Coke was one of the things I quit "cold turkey".
Gotta have my 'drugs', so until they make it illegal, black coffee works for me.
Yes. I have a soda stream so we've been making our own by either using their syrups or making our own using Crystal Light and other sugar-free drinks..
That is, until last Summer when our canisters ran out of CO2 and we have been too busy/lazy to run to Walmart to exchange it.. or whatever it is we have to do to get more..
Cherry Pomegranate Crystal Light when bubbly is truly amazing stuff..

Right!
Just don't make the mistake of pulling up to a drive-thru south of the Mason-Dixon and asking for Dr. Pepper, because you will not get that, you will end up with Mr. Pibb/Pibb Xtra.
Which as a Dr. Pepper fanatic (check my sig lol) is still good, but they changed the formula sometime in the late 90s to early 00s and the Pibb Xtra is now WEAKER than the og Mr. Pibb. So you will taste the difference if you do so, it will taste like someone overloaded your Dr. Pepper with ice, and then let it sit letting half the ice melt and then handed it to you.
I actually have a tendency to forget when we drive South.. so Delaware is sometimes the last chance for Dr. Pepper unless we go to Walmart or bring our own in a cooler..
Every so often, ever since I got out of the hospital back in late Oct. 2021, I get the occasional craving for soda.Do you ever crave soda really bad?
I've been wanting a Pepsi real real bad this morning.
When it happens, I head to a nearby convenience store and grab a couple canned sodas (usually 3-4 at a time) and drink those over the course of a week.
I'll bet you buy RC cola
It's often cheaper. I'll still see RC 2 liters for $0.99 at some grocery stores. RC is good, it just gets flat a lot faster.
I definitely get soda cravings. I really need to reduce my soda consumption.
