Linguist oddity. Sweets is never used to refer to a drink in the US so your statements about "the war on sugar" appeared to apply to non-drinks. If talking about non-drinks a tax on sugar in drinks is always not the answer. I didn't know why you made the leap and missed evaluating your phrasing to see why the expansion of complaint occurred. I guess I assumed you were following the original post which was talking about sugar in general. Honestly your independent thought was "I don't like Pepsi Max as much as a different drink" without listing the other drink or mentioning whether the store even offered alternatives. Fundamentally I saw "I ordered a cola and didn't like that I got a low sugar one by default" You then expanded on that independent thought to imply a lot of things that are not in fact dependant on that independent thought. Remember you said "sugar drink = cigarettes" from a taxing standpoint
