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.
That's a great way to start a paragraph
I've known pepsi addicts.
lived with a woman who drank a 12 pack a day. IDK how she has teeth
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.
Fwiw... Mt Dew Zero has 68mg/12oz. I think regular and diet are 55ish.
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 stopped drinking soda years ago, but I never actively chose to do so. Somehow, it just happened. Definitely to my benefit, but I've long been perplexed how it happened.
