I grew up in Utah and nearly every Mormon I knew drank caffeinated sodas. Not many drank coffee, that's true, but soda was quite popular. The rumor was that the LDS Church owned all or port of the of the Coca Cola bottling franchises in Utah, thus making cola okay.

Note that I am not saying these things to denigrate Mormons. I couldn't care less if some of them drink soda.
