We did not have it much when I was growing up, so I never developed a fondness for it. Neither did my husband. When I go to the convenience store and see people buying those huge cups of pop, I can't believe it.

My kids always whined about wanting pop. I tried to keep their consumption down. Only my son still drinks it. He went on Weight Watchers, and now he has given it up.
