Oh no! I'm a big tea drinker [unsweetened, all my life] and I'll never
look at a nice cold glass of restaurant iced tea the same! The horror!
The desecration! 8-/

Could be worse. At one all-night joint in Sullivan, MO, they served my wife
the worst coffee she ever tasted. I tasted it after a while, and said
"that's hot iced tea". Some idiot had poured the iced tea mix in the coffee
maker.

Then they tried to charge us for it. I kept wishing they had tried on the
large table that filled up after we walked in. It was the entire local
Sheriff's department: they had guns. Do not serve bad coffee to a night
shift cop at 3 AM when he has a gun....

My mother used to make it, but I haven't tried it in years. It's raining
right now, but when the sun comes out I think I'll try making some. Thanks
for jogging my memory.

Regarding the Diet Cola discussion, have any of you tried this Diet Coke
with Lemon or Lime or Cherry? To me it tastes like floor cleaner. (I'm
serious---like floor cleaner.)

I have tried the Coke Zero but couldn't even drink it beyond a few sips. I
also don't care for the new Diet Coke sweetened with Splenda. I think those
who like the regular sugared Coke might like it, but I'm so used to diet
drinks that the Diet Coke with Splenda tastes too sweet. However, I like
the Diet 7-Up with Splenda.

Like some others of you, I used to drink Tab. I think I'd only be able to
get it here in the large bottles, but I think I'll try it again. I also
used to like Fresca but haven't drunk that in years. Maybe I'll try that
again.

Back in the mid-60s there was a drink that (I think) was no calorie and it
tasted somewhat like weak ale. It had no alcohol and was just sold on the
cola shelves. Does anyone remember what I'm thinking of? I think it may
have even had the word "ale" somehow incorporated in the name.

The lemon seems to no longer be available here. It was okay. The cherry is
good, but too sweet. I can drink one can on occasion, but then I don't want
any more for a while. Love the lime! It's what I usually drink.

I haven't tried the 7-Up with Splenda but I hate the Diet Coke with it.
Daughter likes it though.

I don't like Fresca the way I used to. The new cherry kind is good, but
again too sweet and I can't drink much of it.

Not sure what that would have been.

Haven't tried the lime yet ...guess I should. I like Fresca ok...but I like
Diet Squirt better....it's refreshing in the summer.

I've found that Diet Coke with Lime tastes much better when I think of
it as "diet lime soda with Coke added"

LOL...I like the cherry coke, I usually drink the reg diet coke though. Now
Diet Pepsi tastes like PineSol smells....Must be my taste buds but have
never been able to drink it

I don't remember that the Cherry was made in diet here, only
"real" Coke. I loved the lemon but they discontinued it.
Currently I drink the lime one.

I miss real soda fountain cokes. Way, way back when I was 12 years old (and
diabetic already!), I used to play D&D at a local game store. Halfway
through the Wed. night games, various folks would want drinks from the store
across the street. Since I was very broke, I'd go get the sodas and one guy
in particular, who became a great friend, would buy me a soda.

Real, soda-fountain with just enough cherry syrup added at the time of
mixing the carbonated water with the Coke syrup, combined with complete
time-wasting manic sword-slashing fantasy. Heaven.....

Mind you, we didn't have glucometers back then, and I was being naughty, but
given the manic tension I was exuding, I don't think it kicked my blood
sugar too high.

When I was 12..back in the stone age we would go to the local Drugstore
fountain and my brother would order cherry coke and I would order lemon
coke

Hmm. Obviously you have considerable experience. When did
you develop this liking for drinking floor cleaner? Does any
particular brand taste better than others?

How does it affect your BGs?
