Ok, if you could only select 1 soda, and 1 beverage, what would it be?
For me:
soda: Fanta(raspberry)
beverage: water
;)
I had to combine some options, because the poll only allows a maximum of 15.
EDIT: Soda should also have been an option for beverage. :D
Pepsi/Coffee
Wheres Vimto :'(
Beer is good tho
Coke + Milk, mix them, best! Somewhat Sprite + Salt is better.
I'm a big water + lime person.
As far as hot drinks, I recently tried dark cocoa (mixed it myself, with sugar, water, milk, heated slowly) then added Amaretto syrup and vanilla essence, topped with whipped cream, caramel, and sea salt. The sea salt sounds weird, I know, but it's amazing...
Pepsi/Vodka.
Mt. Dew ftw! I dislike too much blood in my caffeine system.
A lot (>2L/day) of water.
I can't sleep at night if I drink anything with caffeine after 2PM or so.
What has anything except coffee and beer in this list to do with programming?
I'm a big fan of separator, myself.
You should drink your favourite soda + beverage when programming :)Quote:

Me too.Quote:

PS: As soon as I saw someone picking seperator, the first thought that popped into my head was WHITEFLAGS! :D
For my tropical aquarium fish, I use a Reverse osmosis filter (mainly to remove nitrate). For me, I just take it from the tap. Brita filter isn't that great anyways - good marketing, and of course, if you like the taste of the water after but not before, then go ahead. But believing that it actually has any health-effect whatsoever, and you'll be kidding yourself [assuming you are supplied by mains-water of UK/European standard, and you do not have a iron-rich well or some such].Quote:

Hehe.
matsp I always knew you were a classy man... but tropical aquarium fish, you outdid yourself!
It only let me select wine once =/
I like to drink barleywine while programming. It puts a healthy limit on the amount of time I spend writing code, because after a while I can no longer see the keys properly.
(Of course, I don't drink beer while coding at work.)
Coke and fruit juice most the time. At home I stay away from caffeine by consuming copious amounts of ginger ale. I'm convinced that the growth of beverage-related industries is directly proportional to the growth of software companies. :)

Ahh? Get a hip flask for Christmas?
I usually choke down the last cup of the day right before bed ;)Quote:

It seems more people drink coke than water. :p
I've been trying to find separator, but no one seems to sell the drink :(
On the other hand, there appears to be a number of recipes online for a cocktail named separator.
Speaking of filtered water, some people stick a magnet to the side or bottom of their water jug.
The theory is that the magnet pulls the metals(copper, lead, zinc, mercury etc) out of the water.
Makes sense to me. :)
I'd have to say the idea of a magnetic pulling non-ferromagnetic materials actually makes no sense at all.Quote:

You can prove almost anything by selecting appropriate data!

I agree about non-ferromagnetic materials. :)
I think the theory is to pull the tiny bits of solid metals in the water, not metal ions.
These metals may have broken off from rusting lead and copper pipes, or are in the water for whatever reason.
But that may be a bit too paranoid. :D
EDIT: Ok, a little research shows lead and copper are non-ferromagnetic(not magnetic). I thought they were
non-ferromagnetic because they were ions, not solids.
Well, that theory goes out the window! :D
I'm really surprised by the overwhelming popularity of Coke. I had the idea that most programmers drank Mt. Dew. Just a stereotype, I guess.
I drink Coke wiht most meals and right now my favorite drink at home is fruit juice mixed with club soda. The only reason I didn't choose coffee is because I only drink in the morning/ early afternoon.
I do drink a lot of water too- sometimes 8+ glasses in addition to all the coke, coffee, tea and juice. It just isn't my "favorite"
Tiny bits of metal are much less harmful than ions anyways.Quote:

Using a carbon filter would possibly help a bit (just make sure that it is replaced according to the manufacturers instructions), but other than that, you need a HMA filter, like this: http://www.osmotics.co.uk/pentek-cbr...ter-p-192.html

Mt. Dew, yuk. I'm surprised Coke is beating Pepsi by so much!
They're exactly the same, except Pepsi is a tiny bit better.
My humble opinion is that, compared to Coke, Pepsi has %70 fizz, and %70 sweetness.Quote:

Pepsi = Coke + water
And I too thought Mt Dew was the programmer's choice of soda. Myth busted!
Looks like Fanta is making a late surge. ;)
That's probably why I like Pepsi better. Coke is too sweet.Quote:

Actually, my best friend used to mix soft drinks with me. Pepsi and coke together really balance out nicely, sprite and coke are a fun combo, too.
ewwwww. Who says soda? Everybody around here says pop. Anyways, tea all the way.Quote:

Seriously, root beer, or (my favorite), Shirley Temple or Orange Cream Soda.
