Now I live in Tennesee. Did live in Michigan.
After receiving more than 2,000 retweets, Pepsi will launch a 'Cocoa' Cola from their test kitchen.

In a tweet, the company said the drink will be a way to say goodbye to the "worst year ever."

The drink is described as a "delicious blend of cocoa (and hint of marshmallow) mixed with Pepsi cola," according to a company spokesperson.

That will be just another "unhealthy" beverage added to the hundreds already out there. Soda pop, in a Any form, is NOT good for a person's health....especially if they drink lots of it, and particularly if its a "diet" soda, Some of the artificial diet soda "sweeteners", especially Aspartame, make a pretty good Ant Killer.

I often see people at the grocery store with their cart loaded with soda pop. Most of them share a couple of common traits....a huge belly, and a bulbous butt.

It reminds me of Yogi Berra, Yoo-Hoo, and drive-in movies.

Sounds awful. Never cared for Pepsi at all. I do like vanilla coke and usually have half of one every day or a small mini can regular coke. I know its just sugar but at my age I am going to eat and drink what I want. I try to watch my diet and eat healthy but I do enjoy my little soda every day. I used to like a little Crown Royal a couple of times a week but now I stick to my little half can of coke every day. There is an unopened bottle of Crown on the counter that a friend gave me a few years ago for my birthday.

You are so wrong, my butt, thank you very much 🤯, is as flat as a pancake. Not talking about my belly 🤣

I might be curious to try a sip or two, but I don't drink sodas in general, except for plain seltzer carbonated water, no sugar or salt added.

Spritzers have been a favourite beverage in our house for years now, SeaBreeze!

100% natural juice - no sugar added (whatever variety), cut with carbonated water, yummy!

I find a 5:1 ratio mix to be just right. One part juice, five parts carbonated water.

I can't stomach (pardon the pun) anything with artificial sweeteners in it. I get an instant headache, my stomach gets a sick feeling in it, and I just feel blah, which tells me just how toxic and poisonous those artificial sweeteners are, and I've read that they're cancer causing.
 
Other than an occasional club soda/seltzer I can't honestly recall the last time I drank soda. Definitely over a year ago. I drink 5 sodas a year, maximum, and only when DH & I drive our 5th wheel road and I need a little caffeine boost but I'm not in the mood for coffee.

I was hooked on Diet Coke in my 30s & 40s.
 
It sounds disgusting. If someone here tries it, let us know.

As teens, we’d order Swamp Water. Half cola, half orange. We were so cool. 😉
 
Back in the day at our drug store soda fountain, we could get that. It was commonplace!
Cherry Coke, vanilla Coke and chocolate Coke.

No big deal and nothing new. Actually, chocolate Coke was my favorite.
