The most out of touch bullshit I ever saw was that post. Nobody over the age of 25 who isn’t morbidly obese still drinks coke enough to give a shit about what kind of sugar they use. We want the Epstein shit you promised you pedophile goof ass chud.

I am in my 30s, a healthy weight, and cane sugar is much better than HFCS, for both flavor and health reasons.

So is water. If you’re drinking enough soda for it to matter you’re drinking too much soda.

"This thing isn't perfect, thus we should give up completely and abandon all standards" ok buddy

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That’s quite a lot to get out of my comment. I am nearly 100% on the wagon of repair but fuck, people’s soda habits are getting more and more vile to me, that shit’s awful in any even moderate quantity and Coke is one I just can’t drink anymore.

Its blatantly contemptuous but not 'out of touch'. His base would be hooting over this if they weren't pissed at him over Epstein.

I'm over 25 and am not obese. I would rather enjoy getting to have real sugar coke. Can't find the Mexican bottles being sold too often.

A broken clock is still right twice a day. Trump getting sodas swapped to real sugar is a favorable outcome.

It's also not something he needs to be worried about. It's like an abusive stepfather taking you to get ice cream. Yeah sure ice cream is nice or whatever but there are clearly more important things to be doing and worrying about

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well most of the other things he wants to be focused on fuck us over, so if he spends any time putting into half useless bullshit it means I'm just glad he's spending even a moments less time on anything else.

I mean don’t get me wrong, it’s a good start, but maybe we should focus on getting corn syrup out of things like fucking bread first. I was kind of hoping RFK would focus more on this aspect of his dementia and less on the vaccine and autism stupidity. But I should have known it was going to be the stupidest possible outcome.

American coca cola tastes vile even if you drink it once in your life.

I thought that was Mountain Dew, which was originally produced as a whiskey mixer in Appalachia, looks like battery acid, and I'm pretty sure made my piss green once.

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I tried it once (I'm on a different side of the planet basically), default flavor, and it was so mid. I don't understand how they got so big.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Massive caffeine content and acquired taste, also the additional flavors are mostly good.
