Diet sodas, juices and iced teas are the worst.  Bai drinks are borderline. I don't know how people drink that stuff. Sodas should be skipped in general except Canada Dry Ginger Ale for when you are sick (mixed with OJ), or an ice cold Coke when you are very hungover. I will say that when I think of pizza in my youth, it usually came with a 2 liter bottle of soda. Lots of Seven Up and Mountain Dew in the high school days!

Canada Dry has officially been deemed ginger-free (and it is currently in the courts, being sued for false advertising because of this). It does literally nothing for an upset stomach. That is a myth. Take some pepto instead. That actually helps.

And yes, an ice cold Diet Coke is HEAVEN when hungover!

Interesting.  I don't drink it for an upset stomach, just like the taste when I am sick. Might have to switch brands. For an upset stomach I will go for the hard stuff cola syrup.

No point in switching brands as far as I know. I don't think any ginger ales actually contain real ginger, just artificial or natural ginger flavouring. I also like DIET Canada Dry, lol. It's one of my faves because it's not too sweet. I don't care if there is no ginger in it.

HesCalledDyer

I'm craving ginger ale now.  I haven't had a soda yet today.  Time to walk out to the kiosk. I don't know what brand we carry, or if we even have it.

EDIT: We have Schweppe's.

All this talk about pop is making me want a fountain Coke from McDonald's....that shit is the best.  My go-to for a hangover.

And to keep thread integrity, it doesn't get much better than a good slice and a Coke.  

Have you read the info about how McDonald's gets their own specific syrup from Coke? 
Folks always thought McDonalds' Coke tasted better and apparently it is different than any other fountain Coke.

Oh for sure....it's so much better than a fountain drink from anywhere else.  I definitely drove through McDonald's on my lunch break and got myself a fountain Coke today.  Delicious

Denny's has the best fountain Diet Coke. Somehow the temp and the level of carbonation is absolute perfection at all Denny's restaurants.... I wish a better place had the ultimate Diet Coke though.

It's definitely not a myth, McDonald's Coke does taste better.  But having worked there, I can tell you the syrup itself is no different in composition than any other restaurant's syrup.  There is no special formula or secret recipe that contains anything different or any extra or missing ingredients.  It's all in how the syrup is delivered & stored, the syrup/water mixing ratio, a super advanced water filtration system, water temperature, carbonation level, and straw size.  I'm not joking, even straw size plays a factor.  They really do have every step down to a science and all of those steps put together ensure an end result that is superior to - and more consistent than - any other restaurant in the world.

PJ_Soul

Yes, that is true. A&W tries to do the same thing with their root beer (including refusing to serve it with ice - they say the temp they serve it at is absolutely perfect, and that ice ruins it by watering it down.

You're right I was misremembering the article...the difference is that McDonalds gets its syrup in metal tanks, keeps it chilled and the water filtration:

And they use the syrup full strength so when ice melts it doesn't taste watered down..

In Detroit for business (why else) and I am meeting a friend for lunch at Buddy's.
Heard so much about this Detroit pizza, had to try at Buddy's, who claim to have invented it

Pictures or it didn't happen.

It was as good as advertised.
Not too heavy, nice and crisp crust...two pieces was just right for lunch.  I could've put down another one or two but I  giving two presentations this afternoon. Not a good match with loaded stomach

Detroit Pizza?  Oh yeah!

Heck yeah!!!!

F Me In The Brain

I wish I had another 2 slices today for lunch, that shit was good.

Crossing off Detroit makes me sad, however, as that was the last place I marked down as wanting to really try their take on pizza, here in the US.  Will have to keep my eyes open to see what might be next.  (Lots of individual joints to still visit...but as far as 'types' I am not sure what would be next.)

F Me In The Brain

And...happy Pi day.

Trip to Sweden for a banana-bechamel-lingonberry-lutefisk pie?

Ha.  I would eat that unruly looking pizza just so that I could go to Sweden, would love to visit.

Bacon & sweet pepper. (Toppings under the cheese)

I didn't make the crust, but am responsible for the rest. I loaded up. Delicious!!

Sid was interested too.
