There's always the fries.

Stop drinking soda.

Can't do it., especially on vacation. I need a break from water after a while. Tea, umm, goes through too quickly. And, unlike Darph :darph: , I have a limit on the amount of beer I can drink.

Yes, they can still gouge on the tea and horrid coffee substitute ! The Nescafe concentrate should cost about the same or less than the soda syrups.

Last week I discovered a convenience store around the corner from me has one of those Nescafe dispensers. Complete with the bag in a box of coffee concentrate. In a way its nice to have a taste of the parks around the corner.... its too bad its such a wretched taste !

My goodness. I think I'd have an aneurysm.

If you, in any way, attempt to take my Dr. Pepper away from me......well, I don't know what the consequences would be, but it wouldn't be pretty. I've had a soda around 7am every morning since I was in 8th grade, and I drink another two or three cans throughout the day. Can't stand the taste of anything else, but I do drink water when I'm either at Disney or the beach. I did try to stop when I was pregnant with my daughter, who was my first child. The headaches were unbearable and when I did start drinking it again, it did not affect her birthweight or have any adverse effects in the slighest.

Again, I commend the people who can and do stop drinking soda (my hubby is one of them), but I will not be joining that list.

Heh heh...we used to have people do this at our local Chuck E. Cheeses resturants. I used to work in my areas district as a manager, and this would happen a lot. Since all locations had bev bars like Disney, people would try to sneak a free drink doing the water cup trick. Heck, people would even try to use the tiny plastic cups we had to put game tokens in for the kids....and they had HOLES in the bottom!

We put a end to it by just giving out different cups. Instead of a branded wax drink cup, we gave water cup requests a generic plastic cup like the ones out of your local office water station. Of course people would still try to sneak one...
