now THIS is a problem...
ChadTower:
Which would you rather have, in soda terms? 150 calories of caffeine and raw sugar or 0 calories and an artificial sweetener linked to Alzheimer's? The 0 calorie sweeteners are just now, after 20 or so years of heavy use, showing their long term effects, and the studies coming out are not pretty.
Jouster:
I'll add another option:
Drink low calorie beer which (when taking in the proper amounts) has a similar effect to Alzheimer's.
That would be my choice.

Soda is disgusting. It's like melting down Jolley Ranchers and carbonating it. ---smurfing--- disgusting. Stop drinking it immediately.
ChadTower:
I like Jolly Ranchers.

Technically, you are not getting raw sugar in soda, you are getting processed high fructose corn syrup which is even worse than raw sugar. However, you can still special order Dr. Pepper made with cane sugar. ;D
