Pop - How often do you drink it?

[TripNick]

No. I meant  "a very". >_<

Anyway, what makes soda so special you only drink it on "special occasions"? I don't get it. I mean, it makes sense to only drink champagne on special occasions because it costs a stuffload per bottle, but soda? You can pick up a huge pack of them at the store for less than $10.

I actually want an answer. I don't understand this and it frustrates me.

probably because he likes the taste but it's too bad for him healthwise or something to be drinking all the time

Too bad for him health wise?

CARBONATED WATER, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CITRIC ACID, SODIUM BENZOATE (PRESERVATIVE), NATURAL FLAVORS, CARAMEL COLOR
Do you know what's in a lemon? Water, fructose, citric acid, natural flavors. You eat a stuff ton of sodium benzoate anyway, and the caramel color doesn't effect your health.

I just don't prefer pop. Water is way more satisfying for me.

on the scale of healthy things to drink it doesn't fall at the top

hence special occasions

It doesn't fall at the bottom either. The only arguably unhealthy thing about it is the preservatives, everything else has essentially no negative health benefits. Granted, consuming a stuffload of sugar isn't good for you, but there's 35g of sugar in this which really isn't that much. Drinking 1-2 cans of soda a day will not negatively impact your health.

never said it did :)

still better for you to drink water

Soda is more than 90% water.

No, but it clouds mental abilities.

Yup.

which means that it's..

Please, please, please explain this to me. This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard all day and earlier someone tried to tell me that THC is a dopamine agonist.

that awesome sensation of waiting months without pop, then you finally break one out (preferably mtn dew or dr pepper) and take that first sip as soon as you pop the top and the flavor is just OOH GOD SO AMAZING
