    Once you drop soda from your life, you’ll feel way better. Have one every week or two, just for the memories.

    Switching to 80-90% water will improve all aspects of your life. Don’t sleep on the OG.

      Sure I’ll feel better but at what cost? Like how do you expect me to exist without acid reflux?

      People always gotta ruin the party with unwanted advice, I’ll die when I want to dammit!

        Go exculsive for about two weeks to a month. You’ll never go back. You sound like you take care of yourself, what’s your main drink?

        Some people exclusively drink soda! Like over 40oz a day of it. It’s nasty, but I’ve seen people carry around those cups and just soda all day.

        Their excuse is usually…well soda has water it in, so I’m getting my intake. While technically correct, it’s the other trash in soda! Ugh. Americans man.

          One time I was in line at a convenience store. The woman in front of me was saying that she only drinks soda because she is allergic to water.

            No one tell that lady that soda is only carbonated water with some flavor syrup or she’ll collapse from sudden anaphylactic shock

              I considered saying just that, but it didn’t seem like a winning situation. I believe I wished her luck finding something she could drink then wandered off until she was checked out.

              The conversation had begun because I picked up a then-new flavor of soda and she was asking about it to replace her current soda choice or something like that. Perhaps she thought the carbonation or syrup neutralized whatever she believed she was allergic to in the water. Maybe she was confused by that movie The Others. We may never know and I’m okay with that.

              That was my thought, as well. I made the mistake of engaging her in conversation, but did not find the results fruitful.
