One soda, one pop, no beer
Technically speaking, I am trying to cut down on my carbonated beverage intake, particularly those that contain sugar. They're not very good for my weight and I no doubt eat too much sugar as it is to pour another twelve to twenty ounces of sugar delivery fluid down my throat several times a day. On the other hand, I would be foolish to deny that I still have a major sweet tooth and equally foolish to deny that the obsessive in me is drawn to the flavors, variations, can designs, and everything else that permeates the soft drink world. With that in mind, I finally have a little corner of the site dedicated to my fascination with pop. And here it is. Below, the content.

The old collection
roundup
From 1993 until 2003, I collected soda cans. Then it turned out that if you just let
them sit in your room, they leak like crazy and make a big ol' mess. So I cleaned
out the shelves and filed this report, showcasing the "best" of my
collection. Self-promoting crap: there are a couple lines in here that make me laugh
every time I read them, and I wrote them.
