I would actually like to see more companies use plain sugar instead of the syrup. Some do and I think it tastes better. Of course that would give them the excuse to charge $2 for one 12oz soda.

So the price would go down? I guess that's a good thing.

[Outlaw]

Jeez. So where you are a 12 oz soda is over two dollars? Or are you joking?

who still drinks soda often

[Guitarman]

Honestly I have no dog in this fight, I just think prices are nuts. I drink the cherry coke zero when it's buy 2 12pk get 3 free, but that's the only time I'll stock up.

The premium they charge for cold soda at the convenience store is what gets you. Room temp soda is higher priced, but not as bad.

Probably 8 cans of coke zero or other zero sodas a day

My bad. It's $2.89 for a 12oz

The standard price for 12 packs in my area from Coke/Pepsi/7up are $9.99

Walgreens seems to price them at a loss leader. This week all brands are Buy 2, Get 2. 7up usually has the best deals as the cheapest I've seen it is 3 for $11.99, but 7up has the worst distribution in the area and until last week, hadn't made a delivery for over a month.

This is why I go to Costco. I can buy a case of soda for about 40 cents a can.

Btw The fizz in carbonated drinks last MUCH longer in a can compared to a plastic bottle.

Idk if they changed since the last time I looked into this, but iirc the politics of sugar are super dumb. We should drop the sugar quotas, which are a weird holdover from our protectionist era, but the reason they still exist is multifold (I will probably miss a few):
1. There are some sugar beet farmers in the US and like 3 sugar cane farmers in Florida.
2. Punishment for South American nations that were too lefty for the free trade era.
3. Corn makes HFCS and we grow a lot of corn, so restricting the supply of sugar is weirdly a corn price support.

Notably, "sugar is more healthy" doesn't make the list. They are both comparably unhealthy afaik. He is wrong on the substance and not in a position to affect trade policy, which is what would need to change to make his proposal realistic.

I heard a long time ago that sugar is more molecules than HFCS, which actually takes more for the body to burn through. But that was forever ago.

Also, Mexican coke >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> regular coke. Same reason that Sierra mist was better than sprite and why starry is ass.

sick work but impressive

[Byrthnoth]

How sweet a compound is perceived to be is not directly related to the number of molecules. Some artificial sweeteners are effectively calorie free not because they aren't metabolized, but because they are perceived as like 10,000 times sweeter per molecule than sugar so the calories are low enough that they count as zero from a regulatory perspective.

Don't drink coffee but yeah I'm a sicko for coke zero

Tastes good
