Well in my high school the soda machines turned on after the day was over, so you could get a soda and take it home.

The water machines were always on though.

I think I bought some water on occasion like when I had gym and I was really thirsty, and then I would want to get out of class so i'd go get a water.

Now college the machines are $1.25, I bought a mt. dew but it just didn't taste the same... So I don't think I'll be getting it again, they had no ice tea. *sad* lol.

But yeah if I bought a soda every day that would be $5 a week, $20 a month.  I could easily buy a big pack of water for $5 and that would last me about a month.

So rock on water!

can sodas at out school only cost 50cent so it is not really pricey, it depends on what school you go to but since getting the gatorade machines none really buys soda

Unfortunately I bought two sodas in school today.
I know that it is unhealthy and I know I should drink it less but I am so damn addicted.

The hyperactivity thing is true though. I bought a mountain dew before Algebra class today and I could not concentrate. But I needed the caffiene.

Lots of kids in my school rely on the caffein to keep them from falling asleep.. That was the only reason why I bought some anyway.

Quote: from davjs at 2:05 pm on Sep. 8, 2006So in your opinion we should drug students so that they have more energy in class?

you cannot be serious.

1. its just as expensive as other drinks in similar quantities barring water which you can get for free.

2. i find it does quite the opposite.

3. only when consumed excessively.

4. thats a dubious assertation you're making. this has not been proven and probably won't be for some time.

5. not around here it doesn't.

6. i've never seen anybody over the age of 12 become hyperactive simply because they drank some coke. i think you're overblowing the issue.

if you don't mind me asking, whose agenda are you being paid to push?

Hey! If teachers get their coffe, which does have caffein, we should be able to get our soda. Besides, some soda like Root Beer, is caffein free.

This the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard. Its a student's own choice if they want to have pop or not. (in Canada we call it pop not "soda"). Seriously it doesn't matter, I drink pop at least once a day and i am UNDERWEIGHT! Just cause in the U.S.A 80% of you are overweight doesn't mean they should ban pop. Its your own choice to buy it or not. When buying the product you are accepting the chances of diabeties and other health problems. It's the same with cigarettes! Isn't that a bigger deal then pop? Who really gives a shit! its pop! GET OVER IT!
