Is diet pepsi different than Pepsi One and Pepsi Max? It seems that both Coke and Pepsi every year come out with something that is diet but isn't labelled diet that eventually just sort of vanishes?!

Back when I drank pop, I used to always drink Dr. Pepper and Vanilla Coke. Now, I hate both of them. The only pop I like now is PC Cola. Not sure if you can get it in the States..I think it's made by a Canadian company.

And this isn't pop (at least not IMO) but I really like Red Bull. I don't drink a lot of it, though.

Yes, they are different. I think it has to do with the artificial sweeteners they use. I know Coke Zero and Pepsi Max really taste more like their UK counterparts.

I know lots of people are weary of drinking US Diet sodas bc they have NutraSweet in them, which contains aspartame. So I know the soda companies have tried coming out with alternatives....

I would say Coke is popular where I am (central Texas), but considering that Coke is the common name for soda... I don't know what everyone drinks. In my family, it's all about Cherry Coke... and Pepsi, the east coast side of my family loves it while the other half hates it. I don't drink a lot of carbonated drinks in general, but I do indulge in Dr. Pepper and Sprite once a week.

Wow, Shoney's... kinda like Hardee's and K-Mart, they all just disappeared from the area here too. Where I am, a Taco Bueno just opened up and I like it... still a little partial to Taco Cabana. I like Steak N Shake and Village Inn too (which I didn't even know about until they opened up a couple of months ago).

Is Hardee's still around anywhere...best burgers growing up in Nashville! LOVED Hardee's! Taco C rocks but it seems like no matter where I am the service is deathly slow...like to the point of not even wanting the food anymore you just want to go home! LOL! ESPECIALLY if you're intoxicated and sobering up!

My faves are Dr. Pepper, Pepsi (which I'm not drinking now because I'm on a diet), do like Diet Pepsi, Pepsi One, Diet Dr. Pepper, Sierra Mist & Sierra Mist Free (but I've grown tired of it, lol), also like Sprite Zero (better than Sprite IMHO), 7UP. Pibb Xtra is ok. Sometimes I like Mountain Dew, but hate diet Dew, also don't like Coke too much, cannot stand Diet Coke, just found out today that I like Cherry Coke Zero (doesn't taste diet at all!), don't care for Diet Rite either, or Mello Yello or Diet Sunkist. Like RC too (but agaiin quit drinking it because I'm trying to be healthier, dieting...)

When I say this, people always look at me funny. I have Coke in my bloodstream. I am a Coke addict, and it has to be caffeine free Coke. I will take regular Coke, because that is what they servein restaurants.

I am such a b!tch. If a restaurant brings me Pepsi, I send it back and ask for root beer. I have passed the taste test. There is a pizza place that has the best subs and pizzas and lately there is this girl who constantly gets our orders wrong. I always put it on my card and she will never put it through. I wouldn't care that much if I carried cash, but I don't. She has charged us for large subs when we have ordered small. So I ordered soda. I asked if theyhad Coke and she said yes. So I ordered 2 2 liters. So the guy comes and the order is again wrong. We got small veggie pizza when we ordered a large bbq chicken pizza and there were 2 Pepsis. The guy apologizes to me (He likes me because I give him big tips since I make him make two trips). I called and asked for her and proceeded to tell her the difference between Coke and Pepsi and when Icall there now, I refuse to speak to her. But the delivery people always like to deliever to us because I give like a 50% tip

      The letter reading was very emotional, and Maeve really got to me too. I was a little worried because Vanessa doesn't give a speech at the funeral, which surprised me, but then we got the private letter reading and her true emotional reaction and I was satisfied there. The YouTube channel I watch these episodes on (if not on our Vault), also had upset commenters talk about how Nola's line about Henry not accepting her at first/seen as a gold-digger was totally untrue. It's sad the writers don't do their homework and give fans the respect (and the characters respect). And yep, Bill got up and spoke at the funeral too, which was nice.  I didn't even realize that was Sharon Leal until you said it!  I had to Google it. I loved Sharon Leal in Boston Public back in the day haha. LOL at your Reva/Josh ALWAYS commentary. What is RME though?

      Leslie is an extreme liar and manipulator. I'm not sure what her point was in trying to convince Nicole she wasn't trying to hurt her. As much as Eva did help orchestrate the entire plot I feel like there was too much piling on. Eva never said she wanted to be a Dupree so Anita was extremely out of line for that comment.

       That's positive and something to look forward to for sure, because you're right, 1996 so far isn't nearly as good as 1995. Ohh - what is Lonatrat?  Sadly you're probably right. I did feel like David was rarely seen once Marcus came on. That would have been an interesting spin, having Frank and Tina be teenage lovers and Dahlia really being his daughter. I'm getting the sense that Tina won't be seen too much anymore, as she just left Dahlia with Frank/Eleni as she's heading to jail for a while. I like the Tina actress too!  Her voice sounds a bit like Rosie Perez to me, which I love. I tried to find her online, but coming up empty. This was the only thing I could find about Tina Crede - a character snapshot video with clips and stills of her (randomly starting just before the 1:00 mark):

      That's wild that the David actor is nearly 40 here! Definitely surprises me.

      5-6   Meh. It already looks like a scattershot week.    5-5 was actually a good episode. Damian and Lily. Phyllis finally going on the warpath that I knew she could get on with Billy and Sally. Nate started to question Audra and Victor's alliance. And I was not even bugged by Kyle and Claire.   But then there's Cole's off-screen story. Kyle and Claire going back to being whiny. And them even wanting Adam's penthouse just sounded like trying to keep the set around. And Diane shouldn't even give a flying frak about Billy's opinion. And Tessa, Daniel, and the guitars...yeeeah no.   But hey...JM looked good in that short. And those pants.  I agree. One of Y&R's good points with fans has always been that you do at least see the vets. And IN stories.

      One of the things that I found unnecessary and a bit disturbing about Ambitions was that in almost every episode someone was holding or shooting a gun.  Jamey and Ron seem to have the same fetish.

      I had thought that there was a Tommy Biddles on there, but then I realized I was thinking of Dr. Biddles on Santa Barbara. Never mind!

      I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.

      It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. ** I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems. *** edit to add: The show never specified what Mona's job was for Nicole.  Home manager?  Office manager?  Head personal assistant?  I'm sure there would have been a title?    Mona asserted today her upset with Eva and with Leslie.  That they used her and ruined her reputation.  I just wish I knew what Mona's job was. If Mona was an official manager, then it would have made sense for Nicole to trust the recommendation, if Nicole thought Mona had done a proper hiring procedure.  But if Mona is just an informal helper, then why wouldn't Nicole order a background check?
