I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

I prefer neither Pepsi nor Coke.

Interesting piece comparing the Casey Anthony case to the Karen Murphy case. (I hadn't actually heard of the Karen Murphy case prior to reading this.) I have to say that her reaction to finding her child seems more what you would expect.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

A family friend's wife had fairly early onset Alzheimer's disease and he cared for her for years until he had to put her in a nursing facility. During that time, he became close with a neighbor who was 10-15 years younger. I don't really wish to know about the sex lives of my parents' friends, but they married when his wife died. His health began declining and she took care of him for a decade or so. His children wouldn't speak to her and tried to cut her out of the will.

I love Pepsi (well, diet). Coke is very much Too Sweet for me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Really? I think Pepsi is sweeter. Coke is more acidic. Coke all the way.

Diet: Pepsi, though Coke Zero isn't bad.

Regular: I'm with P-C.

I'm actually cool with Coke Zero, too. I can't do Diet Coke, but Coke Zero is perfectly drinkable and makes me feel like I am doing less damage to my body.

coke helps clean corroded car battery contacts. anything that caustic is something I need to consume on a regular basis!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No diet drinks because no artificial sweeteners. Good god, those are nasty. And I'm sure I'd think that even if they didn't give me headaches.

Coke all the way, and it's for when I feel my throat needs a good scouring. Nothing better.

Diet Dr. Pepper actually tastes better to me than the regular kind at this point. I'll drink Diet Coke in a restaurant, but not buy it at the store. And Pepsi is off limits across the board - all of it tastes like ass to me except Mountain Dew, and that gives me heartburn.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I prefer sweeter, which means I prefer Pepsi.
