Dr Pepper.
I frikkin’ love Dr. Pepper. I almost never drink it anymore. I’m getting older and gotta watch the ol’ A1C.
Diet Dr. Pepper/Dr. Pepper Zero is just as good.
Same. A nearby pizza place has a slice and a can of soda for $5. I go there for lunch once every two weeks.
Can I Venmo you $5.50 and you grab me a slice? Just mail it back!
Where I live that’s $12.
LOL
I don’t drink soda. Why? So I can tell people that I don’t drink soda.
Have you tried being vegan? Sounds right up your alley!
Just wanted to chime in to make sure you both know I used to live in NYC. I am sure it’s been longer than five minutes since I told anyone.
That’s interesting! I had a hard time finding a good CrossFit gym in NYC… Yeah, I do CrossFit.
I don’t drink soda
Please don’t make “Lemmings” a thing.
“Hey, you should join Lemmy!”
“Whats Lemmy?”
“It’s like reddit, except instead of a Redditor, you’re a Lemming!”
“…no.”
Too late
“Lemminos” sounds better imo.
How about just “people”
You would have no idea who uses Lemmy and who doesn’t.
I don’t know why that’s important. Like in this case anyone reading it knows what they’re on
Well, if you’re referring to us Lemminos outside of Lemmy as “people”, you wouldn’t know.
I guess context matters in this case.
I’m not like anti-fun, if it’s just something that brings you joy, but we do just fine without terms for most of the other platforms. Like I don’t need a short form for “facebook users” like “bookers” or “facelings” or whatever.
But hell if Lemminos makes you happy, rock on my fellow le mino tips bowler hat
I get it now.
Why though?
Root beer. Or cream soda. Or a spicy ginger ale / beer. Anything with bite, flavor, complexity.
Mmm sasparilla
Cream Soda, but generally I drink soda for caffeine that’s not coffee. So Dr. Pepper or Coke.
Nuka Cola
Spezi, oida.
Frucade oida
lemmingnade
Boylan, they use the cane sugar the bigger names swapped out for corn syrup.
Concur!! Most of the sodas with cane sugar taste better. Love cream sodas personally
IRN Bru
Gazoz
Cheerwine
Cheerwine is great stuff! The one gas station chain carried it here for a bit, but I haven’t seen it in about a year or so now.
I like citrus sodas, like San pellegrino, or Fanta.
Sadly San Pellegrino is part of Nestle, so I refuse to knowingly buy them any more…
Oh that is heartbreaking. Their Limonata one is such a good mixer.
Yeah, I particularly enjoyed the Arantica Rossa, just fantastic taste.
Wtf I didn’t know… Guess I’ll stick to fanta.
Yeah, it sucks, sorry to be the one to tell you
Dont worry. I’'d rather know about this.
Ginger ale
Me too: HOMEMADE Ginger ale.
Natural carbonation is best.
:O
Curious what the process is like. How long does it take to ferment?
Making a ginger bug takes a week or so, once it’s going you can park it in the fridge and revive it in a couple of days.
I have a recipe for ginger beer and also for tepache in the non alcoholic post on [email protected]
Starting the ginger bug takes 2-5 days.
Once the ginger bug is rolling, about a day. Or less.
I just keep the ginger bug going. Almost done with a bottle? Add new flavors & sugars, it’s pushing carbonation in hours.
The spicier the better. Blenheim red cap is best if you can find it
It looks like you edited out calling us Lemmings and I came here to say, LEMMINGS IS OUR DEMONYM. ✊ Lemming Power!
Oh…but someone was getting tired of it so that’s why I changed it.
Otherwise, I would still use ‘Lemmings’ as a demonym.
All my homemade sodas are good: start with ginger bug, add any flavors you want - including or excluding caffeine depending on how you’re feeling.
Everybody should be able to make a better soda than corporations do.
