One question I REALLY hate...

I can't stand it when I am at a restaurant and I order a Diet Coke...and the server says, "Is Diet Pepsi ok?"
I say, "Well, no, it is not ok...in fact it tastes terrible."
It reminds me of when my kids were little and they'd ask the waiter if they had Dr. Pepper...and the waiter would say,
"No, but we have root beer."
What?

Oh, even worse...

Me: Can I have a Dr. Pepper?
Waitress: Is Mr. Pibb okay?

Oh, I love Mr. Pibb...sorry!

But I HATE when they say "How about Root Beer?" That's definitely NOT the same!

I wholeheartly agree, when we decide on restruants I have to count the costs of Pepsi over Diet Coke.

I guess I am very high maintenance when it comes to my soda consumption. I love ginger-ale but only Canada Dry and it has to be served cold with no ice. I also don't like when root beer is served with ice, but then again I rarely order root beer..if ever.
As for the main sodas here is where I stand:
ME LIKEY
Diet Dr. Pepper
Coke
Diet Pepsi
Diet Rite
7 Up

NO BUENO
Regular Pepsi (too sweet)
Regular Dr. Pepper (again, too sweet)
Diet Coke (just something about the taste)
TAB
Diet 7 Up
Sprite (too syrupy)

But Jules you can avoid all of this hassle if you just order a beer...but then again that would open a whole can of worms about draft vs. bottled and regular vs. lite beers. :-(

I go along with you on the issue but I love regular and Diet Pepsi much better...I could take blindfolded tastes and always pick Pepsi...
so there!!!
