Ew he drank DIET? Is he some weird LEFTY MARXIST COMMUINIST? Real Americans have FULL SUGAR
Americans 👏 consume 👏 high 👏 fructose 👏 corn 👏 syrup
My taxes subsidized all that corn, I gotta get my money's worth!!
nuh uh According to my extremely conservative coworker, that stuff causes cancer and big soda is trying to kill us. Something like that
But then turns around to order snake oil and miracle pills from Infowars, then takes his daily hydroxychloroquine tab and rolling coal on some Tesla owner
And if you say maybe sugar should be taxed or banned, you’re a commie pedo
Diet Mountain Dew tastes like absolute trash. It's like they just replaced the pound of sugar in each bottle with an equal amount of bitter aspartame with no other recipe adjustments.
Baja Blast and Code Red are the exceptions to that, otherwise hard agree.
I wasn't aware they made diet flavors of those.
and if its only 1 soda a day, just drink the regular one ya fucking loon. Vance is younger than me, I don't drink soda very often, and when I do enjoy a regular Mt Dew. Stuff is fuckin good!
One bottle has 77g of sugar, even one a day is an incredible amount of sugar for the average diet, thats in conjunction with I assume other sugary foods too.
Most drinks in general just have way way too much sugar.
Counter point Mt Dew gewd. Ill stop drinking when my organs hurt... again.
Actual leftists prefer Code Red.
Freedom is consuming the sugary chemical water of the megacorporations.
that's hexabear for you
