The average human is advised to drink eight 8oz glasses of water each day. That's 182 gallons of water per year. Next time you go shopping, count out 182 1-gallon jugs of water. Each and every year.
I understand the pitfalls of sugar. But I don't think these kinds of analysis by themselves really teach us anything.

- sliverstorm 11y agoThe point is a visual analogy can be jarring without meaning anything at all. 182 gallons of water is a lot of water. It's very visually jarring. But so what? Just because it's a lot of water doesn't really mean anything.
- coryl 11y agoThe point is you know sugar is bad for you, so seeing an overwhelming volume of "toxic" material you consume is shocking. It doesn't work with water because you don't care about water.
