Drinks (non-alcoholic) And Gender.

I was visiting a friend of mine recently and we went out to dinner. It was a party of five, a married couple, my friend (male), his former coworker (female), and myself.

I noticed that oddly enough, the two males had ordered Mountain Dew, the two females had ordered Pepsi, and I had a Slice.

I wonder if anyone has ever done a study on gender and drink choices. :lol:

No one ever offers Mountain Dew at restaurants over here. :(

I believe that has something to do with a law involving caffeine and soda.

I don't think anyone has done a study. Maybe, but never heard of it. It could be interesting, or it may turn up that both genders drink the same things. I would think girls would tend to drink more fruity drinks, while the guys would drink more of the other drinks like Coke. It's just an idea, and so far, it doesn't really have much back up since my mom loves Coke, and the people you went to dinner with ordered the opposite drinks.

I've always like Mountain Dew because of it's electrical orange juice type taste. Thats the best way I can describe it. It's very good but I can only drink a few glasses of it a week or the taste loses it's appeal. There is just too much sugar in it.

In general though if the drink has strawberries, cherries, or just about any berry in it I'll probably like it. Just please for the love of god don't make me drink any more cough syrup mmhhm I mean vodka. *gag*

I like diet ginger ale, will ask for a diet Coke on occasion, and cannot stand Pepsi. Anything not diet is far too sweet for me to swallow. Also, I cannot have caffeine - even from chocolate :(. It causes me some distress.

I'm like Allison, the caffiene causes me distress. I dropped the coffee and tea as soon as the doc said to but the other stuff......I used to do the chocolate pretransition though. On T however the want faded. And then there was the sugar and bloating aspect of soda..... two facets that convinced me in the end to let the carbonated drinks go all together. Still and all, to answer the question for when I did do those things , I was alllllll about Coke. Two cases a week and I was the only drinker. In the end though, once you really are "off" it you don't miss it . And I interject that for Allison, so she knows it gets easy ;)

At home I drink soda with like vanilla sometimes and I like the orange and grape sodas and cream soda but it's like never around I like the orange and vanilla ice cream floats. I also like lemonade, apple juice and vanilla soy milk. apparently I like vanilla.

Also at like restaurants I drink root beer mostly it's like I don't even look for any other drinks anymore it's so lame lol.

When I go to restaurants I always get a Coke or Pepsi... simply because they're just easier to order, a restaurant will always have one of the two. Whenever I try to order a Mountain Dew/Sprite/Root Beer they never have any.

i rarely drink soda, but when i do, usually its a coke or a Dr. Pepper. never anything diet, i cant stand that stuff. if i want a soda, i'm going for the real thing. its hard for me to appreciate coke now, because i got to try it with actual sugar, way better than the other stuff. i used to like root beer a whole lot, but hormones made me not care for it as much. oh, and anything from a glass bottle always wins. good stuff there :D

      We love udon noodles here! Sometimes we have the skinny Singaporean ones, sometimes we have rice, but those fat buggers are simply devine! 😍

      My Gen Z transwoman roommate and my Gen X drummer roommate and I made two wonderful stir fry in the traditional wok on the high power propane burner on the back deck.  We splurged both times and had udon noodles in them with brussel sprouts, pepper and onions with a peanut and sesame sauce.   Been having them with seasoned white rice lately too.  I've been enjoying putting dill in them with the toasted sesame oil, turmeric and white pepper.

      Good morning everyone,   It's grass cutting day here on our little corner lot. The sidewalk that goes along the south side of our house, leads to a city park so we get a ton of foot traffic on it. I keep the lawn mowed and the sidewalk edged for the best street appeal. Several in the neighborhood have said its the slowest part of the walk because they have to stop to look at the flowers or watch a bird at the feeder. All of the dogs know they have fun hugs coming from me if I'm in the yard, and the conversations with the neighbors also give their hearts a chance to reach a resting beat.   @April Marie while you're working on your tan, please don't forget sunscreen. @KymmieLgood luck with the job search, it's so stressful to be the punching bag at work. @WillowI've never sold a car to a friend or someone I knew. Buyer beware, sold as is.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      We pulled a leftover beef stir-fry out of the freezer. With Asian greens, noodles, cashews, all in a honey/sesame sauce.

      Oh @April Marie, sssstop it!!! 😍

      Whether it is Sunday or not - may I ask, how long does the whole process take?    My every-morning basic 'beauty routine' - shave face/wash/hair/other grooming already takes over 10 minutes. My wife is basically beating down the door, lol!

      We did pretty well for almost 40 years.   But by then we were kinda moving in different directions spiritually and on some other things.  I might have moved the most significantly.  I think my trans woman was trying to assert herself, although it still took a little more time for the egg to crack.     I was the one who moved out (although we had been sleeping in separate rooms for about a year).  I was satisfied to just be separated, but after a bit she filed for divorce.  I didn't contest it - our kids were all adults by then.  She remarried, I haven't.  Now her husband has died and she is back in this area.   Yeah, we are still friends, but sometimes it's hard for me if I've been around her.  I do miss her.  She uses my now name and gender for me.   I am lonely.  I think I could remarry, maybe, if I found the right person, but I don't see much chance of that.  I'm in my 70's, this is a pretty conservative area, and I am a transgender woman.  So this is how it is - at least for me.

      That is am what I planning on. Take the defensive driving class after the conviction and all goes away aside from the fine I pay. My vehicle is a commercial vehicle (10,000+ pound diesel pickup truck with commercial plates), but since I exclusively use it for personal use so I do not need or have a CDL.

      I seems like I am dreading going to my job more each day. So, I take it as a sign to jump ship. All the time I expect to be chastised. It is not a good way to have a job. I am on the hunt for a new one, however nothing has surfaced.   Kymmie

      I'm currently on the ballot for an open US Representative seat in Portland Oregon.  Here are some of the news stories on me:   Rachel Lydia Rand on Ballotpedia: https://ballotpedia.org/Rachel_Rand#Campaign_themes KATU 2 (ABC) Know Your Candidates 2024: Rachel Lydia Rand https://www.katu.com/news/know-your-candidates/rachel-lydia-rand-d-congress-district-3 League of Women Voters Candidate Forum for US Representative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOoS39CTEOw KOIN 6 Written Interview | top issues, what's going right https://www.koin.com/news/politics/rachel-rand-on-running-for-district-3-top-issues-whats-going-right/ League of Women Voter's Interview with Rachel Lydia Rand https://youtu.be/V5o9RKE3WVo     This is my third time running for US Rep.  Campaigning is very challenging for me because I only have two family members still alive and I've spent less than 2 weeks with them in my life and I have virtually no social network to start with and I don't belong to any social media sites.  I haven't even been able to post here and on sites like it because of rules about self-promotion.   I'm boldly saying in these videos that I want to be appointed to vice-president in the next 5 years.  My platform is about addressing climate change and everything that comes with it.  Population decline is the number one proposal I have and it is very, very scary and controversial for most people.  The way I see it is that oil is more than a fuel we burn in our cars, it's a substance we pave our roads with.  And it will run out, so at some point in the future, most of these roads are going to go away and we'll have a much harder time distributing food.  I play chromatic pennywhistle and I'm this iconic whistleblower politician saying that we will not be able to support 10 billion people at the end of the century on wind and solar power.  Even solar panels are made with oil and there isn't much difference between a wind turbine and a dam.  If we can build skyscrapers and nuclear power, then you'd think we'd be able to figure out how to make a wind turbine 100 years ago.  It's simply not as efficient.  The numbers I've crunched say that if we have one child for every two women for the next 40 years and then go back to normal replacement rate, we'll get our population down to 2 billion by 2099 which is where the world was at in 1950.  If we don't do that and stay on this current path for the projected 10 billion by 2100, then when oil runs out and climate change raises sea levels and floods coastal cities, humanity is going to be in a very uncivil situation.   I'm sorry that I'm not making a huge issue of transgender rights.  Of course I'm here to support our community.  I'd be highly visible on our national and international scene as a transwoman.  I tend to focus on engineering realities rather than these social issues.  It upsets me that people take engineering for granted.  People tend to just get in their cars and think that there will be some space age technical solution that will make it all OK.   OK, that's my rant for the day :-)  Coffee is on.  4:26am.  The ABC station is interviewing me again in a few hours and people can vote for me today.  Please consider spreading the word.  I'm only one person and it takes an incredible amount of effort to keep my political thinking and platform going.   Sincerely, Rachel Lydia Rand Jazz Musician | Software Engineer
