I've certainly cut back on my soda consumption, but it's still a guilty pleasure. Squirt is hands down my absolute fave, makes a great Paloma

Squirt, Baja Blast, and occasionally plain Mt Dew are p much the only sodas i drink anymore, and it's still super infrequently.

all my parents had in the house when i was growing up was diet coke, so i prefer it over regular coke, but nah i'll still pass on those 10/9 times

I'd try one as well, but I actually like the thing they warping into a pizza topping. That said, I imagine it's going to be sweeter than I care for between the bbq sauce and peanut/sugar topping.

a 12 oz can of coke contains 140,000 calories. you may be thinking of Calories, the typical unit of measure on nutrition labels, which are equal to 1000 calories each

Should have taught you it's kcal, or kilocalories, which means "1000 calories" :v:

Something like 25% efficiency, if I remember biology right; metabolism burns a lot of that energy just to run.

20-25% is the marginal efficiency of converting food energy to doing work with muscles. That's due to inefficiency in the various energy conversions (glucose to ATP to muscle output), not due to your base metabolism

If you include base metabolism: Humans can sustain about 75W of work over 8 hours, or 2100kJ, using about 8600kJ of extra food energy, on the background of about 8600kJ per day for base metabolism. That gives about 12% efficiency at turning food into mechanical work.

A Calorie is the energy needed to raise a liter of water by one degree C, and provides a conveniently sized unit that doesn't need decimals.

i think a lot of people confuse the Celsius/Fahrenheit and apparently kj/kcal arguments with metric/imperial. whereas metric is actually a direct improvement over imperial, the other two are basically 100% preference in daily use

no you goober

One tastes very, very good to us

The other tastes very, very bad to us

I could 100% tell you the difference blindfolded between coke, diet coke, and diet pepsi


Now, why did I start drinking one over the other at home to get that way? (Because diet soda is definitely an acquired taste) sure, maybe marketing but you have to make some choice of what to buy.

They are very different though, if you like them. If you don't, sure they seem the same. I couldn't tell you one lager from another because I don't like lager, but I believe people who say they are different and have a preference

Celsius is a lot better than Fahrenheit if you need it to be extremely easy to remember the boiling and freezing points of water instead of just very easy.

It's not that I don't believe you, it's that people can't seem to stop themselves from shouting about which one they like more every time soda comes up. It's like if every time frozen pizza came up the thread devolved into 3 pages of arguing about Digiorno vs Red Baron.

I would gladly read that derail.

There is actually a really cheap wal*mart brand rising crust pizza that is pretty drat good if you throw a bit of seasoning on it. Less than half the price of those guys
