- jerlam 1y agoOlipop might have pretty high distribution, I see them in normal supermarkets and places like Target and Costco now. I don't live in either of the places you mention. However, Olipop has sugar alcohols as a sweetener, which give me gastrointestinal distress after only two cans. Soiling yourself is a good disincentive for drinking a lot of soda.
- red-iron-pine 1y agowhy are you drinking 2+ cans of soda a day? it's like eating 2+ slices of cheesecake on the regular. shitting yourself cuz of drinking too much soda is a you problem mon ami
- jerlam 1y agoYou apparently missed a lot of context here: - these specialty sodas have less than a third of the calories as a normal soda and are touted as a healthy alternative - fast food meals often include a large soda which is more than two cans worth - people often drink even more soda in a day, especially diet soda - the GI issues are specifically for these new specialty sodas, not normal ones
- bschwindHN 1y agoEhh those are a crutch, I'm talking zero sugar at all. It doesn't have to be bougie or artisanal, just a good variety of tea at affordable prices would be a good start. Making it "fancy" and expensive just defeats the purpose.
