Recently a user asked for
advice on kicking the soda habit and you came through with some fabulous tips and advice, especially since many of us have had to kick our own Coke guzzling practices to the curb. Your top tips are:

I recently got a question from one reader that I thought you guys would have some great suggestions for. Here's her question:
"My doc told me I have to cut calories out of my diet to lose weight. He said the best way would be to stop drinking soda, but I love soda.

Lately we've been receiving a lot of tea to try at the office. We've also been witnessing a lot of beverage companies swapping the
high-fructose corn syrup in their drinks for pure cane sugar. So it comes as no surprise that the latest rising beverage on the market is
TeaZazz, a carbonated tea made with sugar that markets itself as a healthier hybrid soft drink.

Good news for you soda
fountain lovers: Coca-Cola plans to introduce a machine that
dispenses 100 flavors.
The new unit, which will reportedly have a beta launch in early 2009, will remain the same size as an eight-valve soda machine by using highly concentrated ingredients to store more beverages. According to the company, switching in a new drink for the 100-flavor units will be "as easy as changing a print cartridge."

Recently, a friend told me that she only drinks soda from the bottle, not the can, because it tastes better. I don't drink enough soda to detect a difference, but since then, I've been trying to compare the two to see if there is any variation in taste.

Every day around 2 p.m., I feel a desperate need to drink a
Coca–Cola. I don't crave the taste as much as I desire the boost in energy it will provide. Even 20 months after giving birth to my first child, my body does not jump out of bed at 6 a.m.

A few weeks ago, San Francisco found itself in the middle of a big heat wave. Everyone at the Sugar HQ was melting to their desks and in need of a cool treat.

No fooling around, April is here! I've gone through a bunch of products and have come up with a list of things you simply
must have. So ring in Spring!

I'll admit it now, I really love the awful lolspeak and lolcats, and I'm surprised by how much it's taken off. At first it was just something that people who spend too much time on the internet understood, and now almost everyone has seen the
cheezburger cat that started it all. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check out these
lolcat examples.)
So why am I talking about lolcats?
