Have you asked how your pancreas how it feels about all these ups and down ? There are no fatties in my family, plenty of diabetics but, beware diabetes dude.

Yeah, there is nothing wrong with a cup of Lady Grey with a little Honey. Outside of all the caffeine of course ... :laugh:

You must have an ectomorph body build like me. I'm 6' and only 125-130 lbs (about 57-59 kg). I can eat all kinds of stuff without gaining weight. But my body tells me it doesn't like that anyway, so I generally eat healthy.

This happens with me an Mtn Dew sometimes...although if I really just need the caffeine I will drink gatorade and a Vivarin (200mg pure caffeine!). Works like you wouldn't believe, although once I drank a Mtn Dew with a Vivarin...had shaky hands for 2hrs or so. Otherwise they work good and I think you can take them every 4 hrs, since I only sleep 3hrs a night because of my second job they come in handy ;)

That's because of the sun influence on the bubbles in the Coke. Atlanta is in this season slightely nearer to the sun than Toronto, having a stronger effect on the pressure of the bubbles (due to the gravity effect). And having slight bigger bubbles make it taste differently. :) Ok, all answers had already be given...

The US generally uses more high fructose corn syrup in their soft drinks then the rest of the world. There are small bottling companies that still use cane sugar and people pay extra for those. It same is true about a lot of Mexican sodas and they have a following in the US. High fructose corn syrup is about the worst sugar for your body in existence. If you keep drinking it and your metabolism slows down after you turn thirty, you won't have any problem putting on weight, trust me on that one. I'm 6'1" and I struggled to make it up to 160lbs (73kg) until my late twenties and then shot right up to 210lbs (100kg). Hopefully that doesn't happen to you, but its really common.

Another solution, drink water :)

I drink lots of Coke, eat junk food, and unfortunately, I don't seem to gain a lot of weight

Start eating proper food and you may gain weight :D I know lots of people who live on chips and coke but still remain thin. And people like me, who just take proper food, end up being fat because of the intake of rice.

It's consistent - I tried Coke from different stores (I usually buy Cans).

Yeah, that sounds like the body-build I have - never heard that term before. Must look it up. Thanks Justin.

I've heard that they actually use slightly different recipes for different markets.

True European Diet Coke is labelled 'Coke Light' and it's pretty damn sweet, I prefer UK version of 'Diet Code' certainly not as sweet as the eurpean counterpart.

In addition to all those replies, is it possible that what you ate here left an aftertaste that affected the Coke taste? Nice state Atlanta. Went there on business once, and loved the accent. Was horrified to learn it is Coke country and they did not offer Pepsi. :(

Lucky devil! Wait until you turn into an old fart like me. Then you'll be able to gain weight by just thinking about food. :) /ravi

Coke tasted better in Toronto than here

IIRC, Coke slightly varies their formula (primarily the sugar content) to suit the taste of the country where it's sold. I found Coke and Pepsi tasted much sweeter in India than in the US. I stopped drinking the stuff about 10 years ago when I learned it was really good at getting rid of oil stains from garage floors. :) /ravi
