I haven’t had a Coke in some time. The longest I have gone without a Coke, since I started drinking Cokes, was early in the Army, when I went around three months without one. Well, since December, when I was hospitalized twice, I have only had one Coke, that that was only about ¼ of a Coke, and that was in March.
If you know how to read a calendar, you know that March was around five months ago. And, if you know math, you know that five is usually a larger number than three. So, I’ve now exceeded the time in the Army when I went without a Coke.
That Army thing was in the U.S., not during any deployment. I was able to get Cokes during all my deployments. Not every day, but I never went three months without a Coke, other than my first few months in the service. At the end of that three months, I was looking forward to a Coke. Right now? Nope. I’m not drinking Cokes because I’m not wanting a Coke.
Yep, Harvey posted this one time before, but a whole slew of things happened and that post isn’t currently available. So, I don’t mind posting it again.
What about you? Is there something you’d like to talk about? We’re here and we’re waiting. It’s Tuesday Night Open Thread, after all.
Who wants to start?
I haven’t had a coke or any other soft drink in just about as long a time period as you. Can’t say the same for having a beer though.
I pretty much gave up soda years ago too. Every now and then I fall off the wagon and grab a Dr. Pepper. Unsweetened iced tea is my beverage of choice now…darn it, for some weird reason I’m craving a Mountain Dew right now and I hardly ever drank them. 🙁
