We have all seen the coke commercial with the little baby polar bear drinking some coke and dancing with penguins but i want to know why soda is so great and why so many people drink it. Every time i go to a restaurant they ask me what i want to drink and i always say sprite (well almost always). I HATE!! diet soda, because it tastes so bland and flat and nasty and i doubt it is any better for you than regular soda. I guess soda is so great because it is everywhere in commercials, in movies, in shows, newspapers, restaurants, vending machines everywhere, at the grocery store all you see is soda and i guess its just tempting to drink it.
