Michael has again provided a Sunday Lunch meme to respond to.
1. What is your favorite soda?
Coca-Cola. I also like Dr. Pepper on occasion and have lately been drinking Full Throttle (and energy drink/soda) every-so-often.
2. How many or how much soda do you drink a day?
Rarely any. I might drink a couple of sodas a week. I use to drink about six liters per week at home, and usually would get soda when eating out, but over the past year or so I've pretty much eliminated soda from my diet.
As a side note, combining this with slightly improved eating habits (I order a salad on occasion and also try not to overstuff myself to the extent that I use to) and ten minutes or so of exercise daily has really paid off (with the help of prayers for increased will power to do those things). I've lost about 50 pounds (22 kg) going from about 270-275 lbs. (122-124 kg) to 220 lbs. (99 kg), as of this week, in a bit less than a year. That's taken me from a body mass of 35ish (considered obese) to 28ish (overweight), which might not be perfect, but puts me in a lot better proportions than I've been in since grade school. Soda's OK, but I'm glad I've reduced my intake.
3. Do you drink it with a meal?
No. At the moment, it is most likely that I will drink a Full Throttle in the afternoon when I have a bit of a headache and need an energy boost.
4. What is the weirdest soda you have drank?
I do not drink weird sodas. Although if you mean just plain bad, I'd pick something like Vanilla Coke, which really didn't agree with me for some reason.
5. Do you think it should be sold in schools at lunch time or ant other time?
I think that's fine, although it'd be good to offer reasonable alternatives too.
And, I'll add this question: 6. What do you refer to soda/pop/coke/sodie as?
Soda, plan and simple.

My answers are up.
Yay! Hmm… I just realized I forgot my witty title for this post. It was going to be “Pop Quiz.”
Pop Quiz that funny, I like it. I call it soda or coke.
1. I am very eclectic, and select what seems agreeable from the collection available at the moment of consumption. Part of the reason for that is what sweetner is used. I’m too worried about real sugar, but it’s not available in the US very much. It’s all “high fructose corn syrup,” which I detect as having a different taste.
2. As much as two, but often none.
3. When I drink one, yes.
4. Something with an Arabic label; I have no idea what it was supposed to be. It was just tolerable.
5. I think there should be no schools, as we think of them here in the US.
Tim, I’m down from 260+ to about 240 over the summer.
Item 1 should read: “I’m NOT too worried about sugar…”
1. What is your favorite soda?
Mountain Dew or a good Root Beer.
2. How many or how much soda do you drink a day?
Would have to measure per month. 2-3 glasses per month during hard training times, maybe a bit more around the holidays and such.
3. Do you drink it with a meal?
Nope, unless mixed with Wine. Its a thing my inlaws do with my father-inlaws home made wine.
4. What is the weirdest soda you have drank?
Drank some strange stuff twice. While visiting my brother in College in Marietta, GA, we did the Coke tour and while in Disney with Lucy we hit the coke place again. In both places we tried drinks from other countries. Some were rather nasty.
5. Do you think it should be sold in schools at lunch time or ant other time?
Given that it provides zero nutritional value, no. If kids want to being it from home, by all means let them.
And, I’ll add this question: 6. What do you refer to soda/pop/coke/sodie as?
Soda.
