The only diet pop that is not wretched is Dr. Pepper. The regular
Dr.Pepper is so disgustingly sweet that I cannot handle it. I rarely
drink pop, maybe one a month. That might change a bit this week because
I was in a grocery store yesterday to get some butter and they had
ginger beer. I broke down and bought four bottles. I drank one when I
got home. That is one soft drink that does not have to be served cold.
