but I never ask for it. I guess the only time is if I'm at a place that only has sodas (parties with no alcohol or other drinks), then I would have a can if I'm thirsty. But, same like you, I would never drink that thing.

Soda and a Wendy's* burger? Might as well stick a knife in my back.

*Not restricted to Wendy's; could also be McDonald's Burger King, Jack, et al.
