If it's not carbonated, it's NOT pop.

The ruling on the field stands. The General is charged with his first time-out.

Re: new years resolution dispute asking for your opinion
Are you cutting out soda pop as a weight-losing issue? If so, guilty as charged, as I would be willing to bet there is nearly as much sugar in the lemonade than in a can of pepsi. If we're talking strickly carbonated beverages, then the resolution is in good standing.
In any event, the lemonade is a better choice than any carbonated cola.
For me, it's strickly homeade iced tea, lots of lemon and very little if any sugar. I'm at the point now to where a cola makes me thirst for the tea.

Re: new years resolution dispute asking for your opinion
exactly what i was gonna post
Hawaiian Punch isn't soda but it has more sugar in it than soda and is worse than a soda
General - if you want The Cook to drink a liquid that is NOT soda and low in calories i can think of something i'm sure you wouldn't find her drinking a LOT of - how much depends on YOU :LMAO

Hey Bucky, go get a box of splenda. A box of 50 packets is like $2.50. Tastes just like sugar. 0 calories :houra

Re: new years resolution dispute asking for your opinion
That is my concern too. If it's a sugar issue then you're better off drinking diet soda.
I even use the diet ginger ale to dilute my calorie laden beer.

Re: new years resolution dispute asking for your opinion
Use it all the time in my coffee. can't wait till they tell me it is as bad as asparten (sp) Then i will prolly just drop dead. Made a cheese cake with it once just to try it out and i thought it was pretty good. others said it tasted a little salty. Don't know where they got that at. Tell you what its a good diet food if you are craving sweets cause it is low in carbs.

Re: new years resolution dispute asking for your opinion
I think she is suffering, but I was a breakfast only type pop guy. She was an all day mountain dew drinker. Easier for me than her.
Yes, the premise was to cut out sugar as a way to reduce weight.
I am leaning to her being guilty now.
As the guys said above, definitely not pop.
Isn't if difficult to just drop cola all at once General?
Didn't discuss just cutting down per week first?

Technically, she didn't violate the rules because it's not soda.
Is she on a very thin line, yes she is, and I believe she is violating the spirit of the deal and an amendment should be made outlawing the drink because as they said above, it's damn near just as bad.
minute maid lemonade light is probably as close as you can get to a good cheat, but it may come in a can too.

I would treat the Lemonade here the same as iced tea and Kool Aid. Sugared water without carbonation and not 'pop'. GL in taking off some pounds.

Thanks for the good wishes. I have battled weight up and down my whole life. I hear the up and down is not good for your heart. Her arse is as wide as battleship anchor or a queen size bed. . We need to get on a routine cardio plan and diet.

Re: new years resolution dispute asking for your opinion
yep, tastes just like Sugar to me, except it's powdery, so you don't taste the sugar crystals
I use a couple packets per bowl of cereal and it's also good to dip strawberries in
