I was never a big fan of soda. I was a big fan of the local soda jerk, lol...and if I could talk Mom out of 15 cents, would go over and get a cherry coke and drool over him.
And as much as I love it, too much OJ makes me itch, for some reason, so never had a problem with that.
I started drinking coffee at 5 yrs old. I lived with my gparents, and gpa worked for the railroad. He was up having breakfast about 5 am, and I would smell his coffee and breakfast, get up and share it, and go back to bed. My mother tried to break me of drinking coffee by telling me it would turn my knees black, lol. Well, I have drank the equivelent of Lake O, at the very least, of coffee, and they are still fish belly white.
