What is the reason of that specific "thirst" for Cola?
Today I woke up and wanted something "Fresh".
I can eat fruits, drink cold tea - but this all is not "Fresh" as Cola taste.

Why so? How can I manage my addiction to Cola "Fresh" taste?

Literally this. Exercise some and drink water. Condition your body to crave water when you want something ‘fresh’. I can’t drink soda on a hot day or after an intense workout, I know I want water and need water. You should stop now before you get diabetes and tooth decay.

Literally this. Cola flavour is just some citrus and spices, you can't get addicted to that. You crave the sugar and caffeine.

I can drink tea with sugar\sneakers\fruit-flavored lemonades - but this all have no such "Fresh" taste.
There is something else.
I have been drinking 1L of Cola for 30 minutes - now I feel such "pleasant cheerfulness" like a low version of a sexual orgasm.

I heard Cola stimulates a production of serotonin or some similar things. Can I manage this without drinking Cola?

For a cup of tea to have as much sugar as a 12oz can of Coke, you'd have to add about 10 (4g) teaspoonfuls to match the Coke's 39g of sugar. Most cups of tea have 2-3 teaspoonfuls of sugar.

You're on a sugar high now. See how you feel in about 3-4 hours. Apparently, to mitigate a sugar crash, eat some protein.

The "fresh" taste is because the cola is very acidic - much more so than orange juice and such. It's sweetened with sugar or something else to eliminate the extreme sourness it would otherwise have. Don't believe me? Try squeezing 2 limes into a glass of carbonated water and dump in about 6 teaspoons of sugar. You'll find it tastes "fresh" like the cola does

Oh, and the reason acidity makes it taste fresh is because it causes you to salivate more

I make lime sours every so often. They're a lime or two squeezed into carbonated water, then topped with salt. The salt removes the bitterness of the lime and after the first couple sips it begins to taste sweet, even though theres no sugar in it, it's an old soda fountain recipe. It's a great way to get the freshness of coke without the sugar.

Flat coke is really disgusting so this isn't the reason. Caffeine is bitter too.

association as a treat, as a freedom(i'm grown and can have Coke! for breakfast) and as a market ad are strong.
in a addition a lot of sugar, and small amount caffeine.
and on top of that, it's even an average tasting beverage that's better than much on the market or your refrigerator.

but if you want to go into flavoring science, that is beyond my circle of competence. However, there is a ton of work in that area, and you should stand on the shoulders of those giants if you like

I squeeze one to two limes over ice, fill up the rest of the glass with seltzer, then take one of those salt cylinders with the pull out metal tab and just shake some over the drink. I dunno, maybe 1/2-3/4 teaspoon? You don't need a ton.

Apparently even a single can of coke has multiple times the recommended daily amount of sugar. In fact it has so much sugar that they need to add phosphoric acid just to keep you from throwing up which also corrodes your teeth. Add in caffeine and sugar addiction and you're are pretty much paying for what is essentially liquid garbage.

You like carbonated water. Switch to something like Bubly, or some other flavored soda that isn't loaded with sugar.

Also, you are just indoctrinated to think it's fresher than water. The PR agencies have overridden your fucking senses and instincts as with over half the population in the western world. You aren't necessarily fucked, you just need to ween yourself off for a long time which requires fortitude.

I drink only Cola with aspartame.

I think to eat protein with vanilla ice-cream taste.
I ordered a pack of such protein.
Will see how much my "thirst" would be in such case.

It's a fucking cup of sugar and caffeine, and fairly concentrated. If you stay away from sugar long enough than cola actually tastes disgusting.

I know of several people more addicted to sugar free coke than any other thing. They say it themselves; get angry unless they drink 2L of the shit. Might make a thread asking about this later.
