All that matters is that I took a leap of faith, misremembering Pepsi as good-enough sugarwater, and it fucked me.

did you think all the sudden you would become cool

like cindy crawford or ray charles

is that what happened

it is what happened isn't it

ISN'T IT

Just make sure you get a Dr. Pepper next time.

Is it true that Mexican Coca Cola is da bes?

[spike]

It was part of a tequeños combo from a food truck. It was under duress.

Maybe the tequenos threw off the flavor. This can happen with colas.

the only time i've ever had root beer is with vanilla ice cream for a sweet, sweet root-beer float.

The difference is the real sugar. It's the same in England and it definitely makes a difference. American soda is more syrupy.

Pepsi Max is the best, certainly the one made in Norway.

I have tried the Mexican Coca Cola, it was good.

I always have an A&W root beer in my car along with an unsweet iced tea bottle...sometimes I trade out the root beer for a diet Dr Pepper

saw a person getting out of their car with a case of pepsi cans and i did a double-take

have not seen a purchase like that first-hand in ages

certain demographics moved on

to seltzers

quantity of consumption like that is disturbing at this point

I was a seltzer guy for a while, but it's an expensive habit (also, I think it is bad for your teeth). Now I mostly drink water with a scoop of biosteel out of a half gallon jug.

[96583UP]

its is bad for the teeth they say

but a far lesser evil than the cola

[spike]

I’ve heard about the teeth thing too, but I need carbonation in my life and yeah soda is poison.

I tried to make a ginger bug recently. for those who are saying, what the f is a ginger bug?...it's basically like making a sourdough starter or a kombucha scoby.

according to the recipe i found, all you need is 3 tablespoons of filtered water, and 1 tbsp each of chopped (or diced) ginger (w/skin) and granulated sugar. I opted for organic raw cane sugar.

note: all the damn recipes for a bug i found on the internet vary pretty wildly, but the ingredients are all the same.

the recipe i found calls for the aforementioned ingredients to be placed in a jar, covered with something breathable, like a cheesecloth or a paper towel, and set out at room temp for 24 hours. then for the next 4-5 days feed with a tbsp of ginger and sugar.

i wanted to make a bug for ginger beer or some other probiotic soda, maybe mango, but mostly ginger beer.

i started the bug last Thursday, and it's supposed to get bubbly within 4-5 days. i'm not seeing those results, so i'm going to start over. this time I'll do a sealed jar for 24 hours, then cover with a towel or cheesecloth for the next 4-5 days.

has anyone ever made one?

the second attempt at making a ginger bug was a success. I bottled a batch last night, and have burped it this morning. it's looking nice and fizzy already, and should be ready to taste in a few days.

i steeped the simple syrup for it for a long time last night before bottling. i've heard/read the longer you steep ginger the spicier it is.
