Real men only drink Classic Coke from Mexico, with sugar.

...I buy diet sodas based on taste, but it seemed weird how you never saw a man holding a Coke Light can there. Do men just like the taste of Coke Zero better or does it seem wimpy drinking a Coke Light or Diet Coke? They don't even sell Coke Light there anymore. There must be more men in Brazil than women. Real men don't diet...

I work with plenty of guys who drink diet soft drinks. I've never liked the taste of them, but I haven't tried all of them, either. I tend to just drink water, but if I'm going to have a soda, I'm having the real thing. Mary, I've known some people who prefer the taste of diet sodas, so I see where you're coming from.

I actually like the taste of diet Pepsi, but the aspartame does funny things to my brain.

As a diabetic, I should ONLY have diet soda to avoid the sugar. Of course, water would be better for me....

I had a chance to work for Coke International one time. Toured the facility in Atlanta. I turned it down though - Mainly cuz I would not be able to drink Dr. Pepper for lunch. You can get anything to drink free out of the vending area as long as it is Coke or Dasani......

Long story but it's time we snuck beer into play in this derailment as well.
Re. cans vs. bottles. I toured a Pepsi plant here once and I asked if I was crazy thinking that small glass bottles tasted best and that the large plastic bottles seemed flatter. They explained to me that the container actually plays a big part in taste. They have to modify the level of carbonation to suit the container and that can mean playing with the recipe in the larger degrees. Although, just changing carbonation levels does noticeably effect flavor, even without a recipe change.
They were moving away from glass bottles at the time and had to significantly change the recipe as the glass could hold a lot more C02 safely than plastic. Cans could hold lots of C02 but he admitted the metallic taste does bleed into the product. He finished with "People like their bubbles."
Somewhat in argument to the "bubbles are good" concept, during my OH SO surprisingly convenient CSE conference that allowed me to visit Axiom during their 30 birthday celebrations, I attended a conference dinner hosted by a celebrity beer taster/expert. We spent the evening eating and following his entertaining directions as he explained the finer points of all the various varieties and styles of beer.
More to the point.. Sometime during the evening, he had us open a bottle, pour half the bottle into a glass and take a sip or two. Then he asked how many people took the time to carefully achieve the perfect pour? In other words, very little foam.
Then he asked us to take the remaining half and dump it into another glass as fast as we could manage without spillage. We let the copious amount of foam disperse and took another drink. The result was surprisingly different and the almost 100% majority preferred the taste of the quickly poured beer.
He explained that C02 is definitely not a tasteless gas and as demonstrated it's actually less than pleasant. I now make a point to pour my beers quickly, a half a bottle at a time to enjoy more of the beer and less of the C02 taste. Not that I'm a stickler though. Pass me a bottle, out on a hot deck with no glass. I have no second thoughts about enjoying it as is.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

So, your saying, for the best tasting beer, to pour it fast into a glass and let it foam up big time, then wait until all the foam has gone away before drinking it?
