Interestingly, just yesterday there was a column in the Eugene
Register-Guard by Bob Welch, wherein he describes a long-term addiction to
soda pop of all kinds. Until one day recently he found his son soaking his
golf clubs in soda. Takes nearly anything off, and Bob got to thinking
about how he'd been pourin the same stuff down his gullet... he's quit soda
entirely, now drinking fruit juice and lots of water, is saving money and
losing weight. And his dentist is happier too.

drink the stuff on the road, but that's about it anymore. Too expensive.
