  • And your choices are superior because....?

    Dear Imbecile at "Corporal Greenback":

    It is generally considered rude to go up to someone who is trying to decide what flavor of carbonated sugar water she wishes to buy and spew "Yew shouldn't drink soday, it's bad fer yew."

    This is especially true when you are holding two gallon jugs: One of ersatz iced tea, which has never been anywhere near a tea leaf, and one of "orange drink", which has nothing to do with oranges besides color. Both of these items have just as much if not more high fructose corn syrup as my bottle of soda.

    Also, it is generally considered quite tacky to wave your "orange drink" and say "I found this in the cooler and it was half empty, I wonder if I can get it half off?" Doubly so when that container had "For employee use" written on the label in sharpie."

    You fail. Good day sir.

    Not love,
    MoekosOwl.

    exactly. people don't often realize how much sugar is in their drinks.

    even fruit juice has a crap ton of sugar in it.. no it's not HFCS, but it's still calories

        Bleh, orange drink. If I'm going to be drinking something that's bad for me, I'm going to at least go with the tasty fizzy sugar water, rather than the liquid of questionable origin.

          LOL. Right, it's the fizz that makes it unhealthy.

            Ocassionally I will get fruit juice but I realize that it has nearly as many calories as a soda.

              I'm making an effort to drink more sparkling flavored water. No calories at all.

                This is why I'm glad I can't taste the aspartame in products, unlike my mother. I can actually have some of those carbonated flavored waters without getting the awful aftertaste Mom does.

                Though every now and then I just want a nice 2-liter of root beer or cream soda. Mmmmm....

                          Love the lemon LaCroix, they nailed it. Has anyone tried the 'Mio?' drops that you add to your own water? Looks a bit pricey....

                            Reminds me of a peeve of mine. Calling fruit 'drink' fruit Juice. Personally if it is not 100% nothing added juice, then it is not fruit juice. It is fruit Drink. Sugar added, water added, etc doesn't matter .

                            What really confuses me is when I see something that says "100% fruit juice" then on the side lists HFCS. Um, then no..it is not 100%, I GUESS that if it was corn juice (ugh..don't want to taste that) I might be willing to let it go, but never seen 'corn juice'. Anyhow...

                            Yeah, water is better for you, but there are fruit 'drinks' that have more sugar then even Mountain Dew..which has a LOT of sugar in it.

                              Actually, I buy it from Wally World . It comes in 33.8-oz bottles for 68 cents apiece.

                              It hasn't gotten me off soda. Nothing will. But I am drinking less of it.
