A 2 liter bottle of soda costs pennies to produce and they sell it for three bucks. An 8 ounce glass of it in a restaurant will cost you three or four bucks. I haven’t purchased soda in about five years. It is the biggest ripoff and not even good for you.
Dude, soda isn’t ‘not good’ for you. It’s fucking toxic. Corn sugar makes you fat and screws up your metabolism, added caffeine is addictive, and the rest is just an artificial chemical bath that rots you from the inside out.
There was a lawsuit a while back, a dude sued claiming he found a dead mouse in his can of soda. Pepsi’s defense was that in the amount of time between when that particular can was bottled and when he drank it, the soda would have completely dissolved the mouse. They won the lawsuit.
Just because the mouse would have been dissolved doesn’t mean that the ingredients responsible are harmful to consume. It’s just citric acid.
There’s a pretty big difference in doses between drinking a soda and soaking in a vat of it for months.
People still shouldn’t drink soda, but your argument against it is on par with freaking out because McDonald’s burgers don’t grow mold (because there’s not enough moisture and lots of salt).
Yeah, if there is one (uncontroversial) thing to cut out of your diet it’s probably soda. I have not verified the claim above, but adding all that refined sugar into your diet in a way that doesn’t even curb your hunger is bound to spell trouble.

And that’s what you are drinking…

Yeah, blended oranges would dissolve a rat over a few weeks too.
Okay that’s fair.
Also the Super Size Me guy did the mcdonalds mold test- the burgers all decayed, the fries didn’t decay at all.
Man, you should see what salt does to a mouse.
