    And lots of people will stop drinking it because of that, and they will be healthier thanks to it.

      I know quite a few people who have serious Coke addictions. They will simply refuse to drink any other brand and they go through Trumpian levels of the stuff daily. I don’t know what it is about this particular brand. I’ve never met an RC head, but Coke heads are a dime a dozen, unlike the ten bucks a dozen their drug of choice charges.

        Uff that used to be me. I went cold turkey for about 4 month of just drinking water. It then made me realize how coke isn’t even good.

        I used to be like that. Drank 4 litres a day. Thankfully I got sick of feeling like shit all the time because of it and switched to just drinking water.

          Touche

          I never got into that in my teen years because we had Jolt Cola - branded as “all the sugar and twice the caffeine”

          Edit: Now I wonder if people were going into bars back then and ordering a Jack and Jolt, thereby far preceding the Red Bull and vodka.

          Does it? Mountain dew has like 50-60mg of caffeine per 12 oz can, where an average 8oz cup of coffee can have somewhere in the 75-100mg range. A standard double shot espresso drink will have anywhere from 75-150mg.

          Also, I don’t think the caffeine content is the thing to worry about at any rate, I’m more concerned with the 46g of sugar per can.
