    Diet Coke is disgusting to me.  Mexican/real sugar Coke is where it is at.
    You can taste the cancer!

    I will say that DIET mexican cola is absolutely delicious with Crown Royal. There is this amazing upscale Mexican restaurant near me that only uses this particular brand of Mexican soda, but I didn't know it at first, and when they brought me my "Crown and diet" I immediately said it was the most delicious Crown and diet I've ever had in my life, and didn't get why until they showed me the bottle.

    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!

    Same. (Not to mention the fact that they are known carcinogens.)
    It only has negative effects like that if you're drinking like 8 liters of diet soda a day. Also, it has been claimed that sugar is a carcinogen too, sooo..... I'd personally rather die younger than spend time constantly worrying about what substances might cause cancer if I loaded up on them to an impossible extent.

    Conclusions—Higher intake of ASB was associated with increased risk of stroke, particularly small artery occlusion subtype, coronary heart disease, and all-cause mortality. Although requiring replication, these new findings add to the potentially harmful association of consuming high quantities of ASB with these health outcomes.

    That’s a pretty archaic justification to partake in anything you’d like to without consideration for the consequences. To each his own.

    But also:
    However, the authors caution that neither this study, nor ones like it, prove that drinking diet soda causes these diseases. “The most important thing with all prospective studies like this is that you can’t establish causality. 
    And:
    ...its impossible to prove with certainty artificial sweeteners cause detrimental health effects without doing a clinical trial, which would involve giving an excessive amount of artificial sweeteners to a group of people.

    That is a necessary statement on the limitations of the study. It would be naive to use that statement to support the notion that there are no damaging side effects from regular diet soda consumption.

    I didn't say there were none.  Obviously too much soda is not ideal for you health, diet-branded or not. But to say diet soda directly causes these things is also not correct.

    I don’t drink soda anymore, but if I had my choice between the health risks of natural sugar or something made in a lab, I’m choosing the former.

    Definitely. Too bad nothing is made with natural sugar any more. But I'll still take HFCS over aspartame and all that other shit.

    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.

    This is the absolute truth all the way around. Coke with a Portillos beef and cheese fry on a hangover day is a close second. 

    Back to pizza...

    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!
