I have a lot of people tell me that they cannot tolerate the taste of plain water.

My diet was pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ growing up, but one thing my parents did right was that we drank ice water.....only at meals.

Soda was a special treat. Usually once a week my Dad would go get Chinese Food or Pizza for us so my mom wouldn't have to cook. He would get 1 quart of cola ( the biggest bottle at the time ) that would be split between the 4 of us.
We would each get one tall glass.

I now see people walking out of stores with one quart cups of soda, just for themselves. I've heard the stories about kids growing up on drinks instead of water so I guess that is why they don't like the taste of clean ice water, particularly if they are prediabetic......as many are.
