I think they called those Suicides where I was growing up. I don't think I ever did it. One of my daughters still does it, I think.I don't drink soda generally except for gingerale with my whiskey but what I loved to do as a kid was go to one of those soda machine and make a soda cocktail of like coke, sprite, root beer and if I was feeling particularly in the mood for dangerous flights of fancy, a bit of Orange Crush too. It was surprisingly good!

I go through phases when I really like something cherry-flavored, like Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper or Diet Cherry Coke.
I'm trying to wean myself off of the stuff, though. Too much evidence out there saying how bad it is for our bones, and the artificial sweeteners can actually make us crave more sweets. I'm trying to drink more water, sometimes flavored with mint leaves, chopped ginger, and slices of lemon, if I want to get really fancy. I'll mix all that up in a large pitcher and drink it throughout the day.
