    Yep, and all our pop now tastes like ass with the vile sweeteners so fewer people drink it.

      A lot of people don’t seem to mind it, but to me it really tastes terrible. Even if I got it for free I wouldn’t drink it.

      Drink water.

      The choice between sugar and aspartame is the choice between diabetes and cancer.

      Just give it up. Pop ain’t worth it.

        Fuck this, people should be able to drink soda if they want to. We’re on a dying planet, this just penalizes poor people and takes away their choices. Let people have a moment of pleasure. You can drink soda and drink water.

          Telling someone they should give up something that’s bad for them is not stopping them from doing it.

          The person you replied to is not stopping anyone from drinking soda and, as long as you have an extra 25p, no one is stopping anyone in Britain from drinking a litre of the most sugary of sodas.
