I'm trying to cut pop and so far have done good this year, I can count on one hand the amount of the stuff I've drank. The last time I had a Coke it was not great. Which is a shame because Cherry Coke was always my favorite

Which is a shame because Cherry Coke was always my favorite Yeah, I used to drink 2-3 cokes a day (cokes being the colloquial term for all soda/pop/etc. in Texas) and I recently more or less quit, and now it tastes way too intensely sweet unless I'm eating something really salty/fatty like fast food. It's kind of a shame, but it's also very good at helping me not drink 2-3 a day.

At our house, we go to McDonald's and get two large sweet teas with no ice. Then we bring them home and stick them in the fridge. We get 5 or 6 servings out of them for the rest of the week.

"Good" Southern style sweet tea is more like a taffy. If it doesn't make your teeth hurt, it ain't Southern style. I grew up on it but can only stand it in small doses as an adult and only with an ice water chaser.

128oz is a gallon (3.78L); ~2200 calories if you don't have ice. I think (hope) it's not meant for one person?

I can't find any info on the pricing, but a Super Big Gulp (44 oz.) is $0.25 for the cup and $0.99 for a refill. So if they did the math, it would cost about $3 to fill the Team Gulp completely. This is less than the cost of a bottle of water in many places.

Soda chat! I've always enjoyed Diet Coke. It used to be a treat for me- once a week I'd get a LG Diet Coke from McD, or grab one at the gas station...until I had my knee replaced. Ever since, nothing tastes right (complication from the anesthesia), so now that awesome treat tastes like everclear and sugar. It's loving terrible.

I grew up on non-caffeinated Diet Coke. My parents and I went through a whole 2-liter bottle every other day. Sometime when I was in high school, we discovered Diet Cherry Pepsi, and were drinking a 2-liter bottle A DAY. Only in the last year have I stopped drinking any diet soda at all. I have no idea how I’m still alive.

Probably half the volume of any of those is ice, so it’s not quite as bad as it seems.Elysiume posted:128oz is a gallon (3.78L); ~2200 calories if you don't have ice. I think (hope) it's not meant for one person? Given that it’s called “Team Gulp”...

I mean, standard practice is to literally fill the cups with ice before adding any soda so ain’t no one finishing a drink that big before it becomes a gross watery mess anyway

You took an image that says "largest ever sold" and think that means "currently serving." 32oz is the size of the foam cups at McD's that they serve the sweet tea in, for reference.
