is it still carbonated? hot water can only dissolve a fraction of the co2 that cold water can.

isn’t Pepsi also in red cans in China because it’s associated with wealth and happiness or whatever?

moving to texas has been just one big series of culture shocks, but the biggest one might well be learning that dr pepper is a baking ingredient down here

i think the problem here is "six cans of ... coke ... a day" and putting more adjectives in isn't going to help

I have an artificially sweetened energy drink waiting for me at home, unless my partner drank it, in which case I’ll try to kick them again for a while

this is the corn syrup. if you get something sweetened with regular sugar it doesn’t do that to your teeth

hfcs is not significantly worse than regular sucrose apart from being so cheap and even subsidised that it’s inclusion in a food is so likely

from a food point of view hfcs and cane sugar are just as bad for you

fructose is so sweet and our brains love it so we crave food that is super sweet, and yes hfcs more like 60/40 fructose/glucose compared to the 50/50 of sucrose, but food manufacturers titrate quantities to taste so it’s not like food made with hfcs is worse, if anything there’s probably slightly less hfcs compared to sucrose to account for slightly higher sweetness

unfortunately that’s just a thing you need to get over to get into the wild world of drinks that don’t add calories to your diet


like when you first started drinking alcohol it probably tasted bad too.. but you broke thru right? it requires that same dedication and spirit
