Soda addiction? Lmao soda doesn't have shit on reddit homie. Take care of yoself
Coke: We don't market to kids
Also Coke: Let's sponsor Santa
@Thunder Lightning I thought so, too lazy to make sure though
@Thunder Lightning the one who created Santas image in the US was artist/cartoonist Thomas Nast , whom popularized this image of Santa (his first drawing being in 1863 in Harpers Weekly). He is also the reason why democrats and republicans have a donkey/elephant representing their parties, he would illustrate this in his political cartoons.

@Thunder Lightning Whilst probably true this time, would trust the CEO of a company that bottles land mines made from fur coats and elephant tusks before trusting snopes.... just saying. "fact checkers" SMH
the moral of the story is:
don't buy coke, buy coke stock and make money off of rising obesity rates
Coke stock is pretty good it’s really stable
Technology has created more fat people than Coke ever has
@@tonymoretti2347 That's highly debatable. Watch the lecture "The Truth About Sugar". It is very interesting.

''It tastes like having fruit described to you'' is honestly a brilliantly accurate description of all flavoured sparkling water.
Like someone thought of a fruit in another room
La croix is awful, but there are some brands of sparkling water that actually taste good, the main reasons being that they don't go overboard with the carbonation and there's actual flavor in them
Andrew tate has bad taste for water
It taste like water and fruit were shipped in the same truck
Spindrift is the only good sparkling water because they add juice not “flavoured essence” whatever that means…
As someone who worked at Burger King during high school, it was horrifying to see people drink a 32 ounce cup of soda with every meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food may be unhealthy sure, but what scares me the most is the shear amount of sugar they were bombarding their body with. Every time I made and gave customers their drinks, I felt like I played a part in helping spread the diabetic epidemic we have in the US. Thankfully during my time there I never once drank sugary drinks since I stopped back when I was 13.

I stopped drinking soda after this video came out. It’s been a while. I now can’t drink it anymore without cringing at the sheer sweetness. I also lost 15kg!
Awesome job! How bad was the withdrawal?
@@runed0s86withdrawal is your body's way of saying "you're an idiot, don't do that to me again look at the damage you have caused!"
@@runed0s86 Personally I found it really easy to swap over to sugar free options instead and stop drinking sugary soda at all, didn't get much in the ways of withdrawal. The key is to swap to something that you normally never drink so you don't have a frame of reference for how it usually tastes. Though it might've helped that Sweden have a brand of soda (Trocadero) that is fairly mellow (bit of a champagne-like after taste) and honestly don't have that much of a taste difference between the sugar-free and regular option.
Honestly, I wish I had the dedication. I just love my orange fizzy pop too much to give up.

when I was a kid I've had unbelievable brand loyalty towards Pepsi. the reason wasn't even all the advertising for children thing, it was because one time i read the small text on the label and realized that Pepsi was basically made in my city. i then just always bought Pepsi instead of Coke because I saw it as me supporting the local economy

Glad that we're in an era now where the same won't happen without the intentional choice from a poor parent instead of before where parents where either too stupid/naive to realise that it was THAT BAD for humans.
A couple years ago I decided I wanted to quit soda. After about a week with no soda I really wanted one and I broke, and then I drank a can and it was awful. Soda is terrible and tastes bad and all it took was a week without it for me to realize it.

“How is this a child-size soda?”
“Well, it’s roughly the size of a two-year-old child if the child were liquified. It’s a real bargain at $1.59.”

As someone who chronically worked at a gas station after being a CNA worker, i remember one day where the soda machine went out, and i can safely say more than one person acted like an enraged CRACK ADDICT when denied their every day corn syrup water. Im extremely glad that even though abuse was part of my childhood, it prevented me from eating junk food and chugging soda.. I never saw the appeal, but seeing those people act the way they did without soda made me glad i didnt have a conventional childhood.
Since growing up and seeing all the greed that comes in hand with corruption, it makes me even more glad that a cent hasnt come from my pocket to support that kind of unethical crap.
I know everyone has their vices. But if you have it in you to quit soda (as well as energy drinks or other related products), do it. Can't describe it other than feeling so much clearer and sharper. I'm four years soda-free now, up to that point I'd been drinking it since I was in preschool. Blows my mind that my parents allowed that.

@@bet-a-betta6468 Yes. Yes, you can.

If you drink energy drink often, try switching to either monster rehab or rockstar recovery. Those two lines of drinks only have like 2-5 grams of sugar in the whole can, like less than a tenth of normal ones. Even just switching to those helped me a fuck ton
@@AnArmoredMarchyeah, since switching to rehab I've also been drinking a lot less monster in general. like from 3 times a week to once a month (and not at all when I'm not in uni)

I realised last year that my soda drinking was bordering on addiction. I've decided to cut down, and my girlfriend got inspired to do the same. I haven't even thought of drinking a cola all month.
@TheDanishGuyReviews That's really impressive! I'm definitely addicted to Pepsi Max and I'd like to stop drinking it.
Do you mind if I ask if you went cold turkey or if you gradually cut down. Also, did you experience any withdrawal symptoms?
I know it sounds so silly because we're talking about fizzy drinks, but they also contain caffeine and sweeteners, so I believe the questions aren't too ridiculous
@@leahb413 I started with the hard rule "No new soda inside the house", and I've kept that. New soda means I don't open a new one, but I can finish a leftover from a party or restaurant at home. I then slowly started ordering water at restaurants, which was the most difficult. Easier thing was to stop drinking soda when hanging with my friends. Some of them don't drink soda, so there was no pressure. So that's a hard 3 days a month where I don't drink soda. I had some withdrawal in the middle, but I noticed I could stop it with a little bit of sugar in some form. I have lately made a game out of keeping a streak going of days without soda. Last week I hit a new record of 10 straight days without soda.
@@TheDanishGuyReviews That's really helpful, thanks for taking the time to explain it all. 10 days is a great streak, congrats!

fun fact: there is a town in mexico where coke is literally cheaper than water. as a result, it kinda became a symbol of their town, with their residents drinking an average of 2 liters per day
As someone who lives in Mexico that is not as crazy as it sounds, with Coca Cola you know it is clean and safe to drink, this is not always so with water. A company company will also try harder to get it's products to a remote village than a corrupt government will try to bring water to its citizens.
It's actually a whole state I'm pretty sure, called chiapas or something
Not true. But nice internet myth. It is true that sometimes the water isn't that clean, so soda (or any other bottled beverage, like say, bottled water) is the only clean alternative.

Same, I used to work with a guy that said he "can't drink water, gotta have some flavor" he's probably diabetic by now
Same. had some friends who literally drink coke as if it's water...
I'm one of the people who drink only soda and yeah it's a problem, idk if it's like this for everyone like me but for me, water legit taste nasty, especially bottled water (which taste like coppery chlorine poolwater), I can sorta force myself to drink water for a bit but not only will it never taste even decent, but I also get what I can only describe as withdrawal symptoms, loss of focus, massive headaches, a sort of itchiness that seems to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time and well, a general want to go back to drinking coke, I never really cared about my health too much so I havent seriously tried going cold turkey before but in the times where I've been out of coke for awhile Its always been rough, luckily other than being overweight, (almost entirely due to the massive amount of calories from the coke) I'm not suffering any serious health risk but yeah, I do need to finally find soemthing else to drink at least sometimes.
Tldr: think people like me who drunk only pop for years have gotten physically and mentally addicted and were a bit boned.

Hemp is a weed. It doesn't need much water & can be grown in areas that aren't very agriculturally productive.

my senses of taste and smell are unnaturally sharp
i can detect people by the smell of their sweat
i can taste stress-sweat, bucciarati-style
i can detect the exact composition and amount of sugars and sweeteners in any given beverage , (adjusted to gulp size, so converting my perception of amounts to quantifiable data requires a measuring cup, pen and paper)
i can detect the exact shelf-life of a mango by smell alone while blindfolded (have a mango tree, am sick of the smell)

i can taste the lactose in milk, the amount of caffeine in any given beverage, i can detect the age of a pigeon carcass or horse turd by smell alone, as well as detect exactly how long the camel wasnt given a bath, with a 3 hour accuracy
i can taste the mood of a slaughtered animal, assuming its relatively fresh (a boar i crossbow'd tastes better if he was killed in one shot) i can smell if there is any common allergens in foodstuffs, tho its useless for me

My mom used to work as part of Coca Cola’s marketing division. She told me that on the days of the month social security checks would go out, Coke would put their products on sale, so less fortunate people could load up for the month.

I guarantee they still do this.

This is also one of the main reasons why America has such an embarrassing healtcare situation. You live to work, then you live to consume, that consumption makes you sick and in order to get healthy again, you'll have to work even more.
People are so blind that they call this freedom. I cringed when I saw the ad calling soda consumption freedom of choice. The real freedom of choice includes the choice to abstain from this.

@@MichaelVickers2007 the problem with zero sugar options, is they tend to have the sugar components replaced by artificial sweeteners and some similar chemicals that are questionable on whether or not they are healthier or even more detrimental to ones health given there isnt much research surrounding the long term health effects of their consumption, the current consensus is to have very limited consumption of them, much like you would limit sugar, so it defeats the purpose of replacing the sugar in the first place since atleast you know the long term health effect of over consumption of sugar
in my brothers freshman year of university, he drank soda and red bull exclusively. i’m pretty sure he got scurvy, which i didn’t even know was possible in a first world country in 2017
It is possible and more than people think with the trash Standard American Diet and makes sense really. Scurvy is a carb. eaters disease and has zero to do with meat, contrary to popular delusions and old myths. It used to be commonly mistaken (and still is) that eating nothing but meat and not getting vitamin C gave your Scurvy. Cause it was the "Sailor's disease" and they ate a lot of meat and got no vitamin C. Well, those Sailors weren't just eating meat, lol, they were eating a sugary bread, hard tack too.
It was debunked when a researcher wanted to know why the Inuit didn't get Scurvy but ate almost exclusively meat in winter. So he did an experiment and the first attempt failed, because they were cheating and eating sugar and got Scurvy. Second time, he got more trustworthy volunteers who stuck to it and didn't cheat and they never got Scurvy. So your example makes sense, eat lots of sugar and get little to no vitamin C, it's a recipe for Scurvy.
@@MrBilld75 Scurvy is not a carb eaters disease. The lack of vitamin c was due to a lack of micronutrient-rich fresh fruit and vegetables. The calorie content of which is primarily derived from carbohydrates.
@@Thomas-qi7hx What?! Lol. Carbs. without Vitamin C causes Scurvy, lol. It's exclusively a carb. related disease and this is basic science. *facepalm. People who don't eat carbs. do not get Scurvy, proven. I'll cop to it being an overly general statement that it's a carb. eaters disease, but it's not untrue either.
Of course, it's a lack of vitamin C rich fresh fruit and veg. nobody said it wasn't. That's how they solved it with Sailors, by putting citrus fruits on ships, so they could avoid it and it worked.
Sailor Scurvy was very likely caused by stuff like hard tack bread and getting no vitamin C. And considering their meat was preserved, they weren't getting what little vit. C there was in the meat either, because it does have some, but not a lot. Cooking and preserving would kill what little is there as vit. C is quite unstable and lots of things kill it quickly and easily.
@@MrBilld75 carbs has nothing to do with it. It is literally just the vitamin c deficiency. 'People who don't eat carbs, do not get scurvy' is a wrong statement. Someone who ate exclusively meat or fat or both will get scurvy if they don't eat a source of vitamin C. It's not basic science, I've studied science at more than a basic level. Ask your doctor. Check the scientific literature you'll see that's the case. If you can provide some peer reviewed proof of that statement I would love to see it.
@@Thomas-qi7hx Yes carbs. DO have everything to do with it, denialist amateur. Far more than anything else failure on C and how it works with carbs. Lol. Well, duhhh Captain Obvious, deficiency can happen for a number of reasons. But in the carb. eaters case, they need way more C. than low carb. no carb. diets as carbs. are competing against vit. C.
The requirement to prevent Scurvy is 10mg in the context low carb diets. The likelihood of it happening to someone on a carb. rich diet without vitamin C is FAR higher than with say a Carnivore dieter.
Especially if the Carnivore dieter eats some raw meat, which some do. A 100g serving of raw meat has at least 25mg of C, more than enough to prevent Scurvy. The experiment that actually debunked the notion it was meat related, long ago, studied the Inuit and why they didn't get Scurvy. Even though their diet is Carnivore in winter.
Like do you even know the experiment?! It actually failed the first time, because the volunteers cheated and ate sugar and got Scurvy. It succeeded the second time with more trustworthy volunteers, who did not and mimicked the Inuit diet. They did not get Scurvy. So don't tell me it's not carb. related, hahaha.
So easy to tell what companies are hiding like soda and obesity. They always become huge advocates/investors into their biggest problems; not to fix them but, to misinform them.

In my home town our downtown pharmacy still has its original soda fountain and its one of the things I miss a lot. Its somewhere kids spend a lot of time and older folks too. I remember meeting up with my friends there as a kid and when I got older I'd order my perception medicine and wait for it by ordering a sandwich and drink. Nothing beats a hand mixed soda, so much better than bottled, canned, or machine
I agree. I remember ordering soda fountain at Woolworths😊😊😊

Is there any documentation of this
Yeah guys right is there a article or something of it
Sounds good if it is legit.
@@noxabellus I believe all comments on utubes
If you're wondering why food and beverage companies are allowed to act so predatory in the US, it's because there's no single-payer health care. Unhealthy people require more medical treatment in a lifetime than generally healthy people, and in a country with government-funded health care, the government has a budgetary incentive to keep people healthy and thereby minimize health care costs to taxpayers. When health care is privatized like in the US, that system has a financial incentive to keep people unhealthy and charge them as much and as often as possible for their health care. The minute I heard this explanation as an American living in Europe, it all made so much more sense. It's corporate interests, lobbying, and corruption that keeps Americans without an adequate health care system, and why American food is in general not as healthy as food in the EU, where the government subsidizes produce and taxes soda heavily. I would bet you anything Coca-Cola has donated to politicians to shoot down single payer health insurance for exactly this reason-- they know stricter regulations would follow once the government has a reason to care if people are healthy or not.
That makes sense.. thank you for the quick lesson!
i discover this youtuber by this video and im hooked , watching more of your stuff
In Australia Coke ran an article stating that contrary to belief it was actually good for your teeth. In easy to miss fine print it followed as long as you brush your teeth afterwards.
Yeah, thatt'l really do your enamel good.
That’s actually worse than drinking it and not brushing your teeth after because you’ll scrub away your enamel

I absolutely hated soda as a kid as I didn't like the carbonation. It wasn't until sometime after high school that I started drinking it. Even then I drank craft sodas as they had significantly less ingredients than the big brands like Coke, but still filled with sugar. After drinking it fairly consistently I noticed I was gaining weight and breaking out in pimples. After that I stopped drinking soda as much and pretty much only drink them during christmas time. Even then, I strictly stay away from big brand stuff as i'd rather have just sugary water and not a bottle of high fructose corn syrup.
I want my CocaCola! I don't want my overegulation happy government choosing for me. We're now demonizing soda, caffeine & candy. More bans! In a frenzy driven by health obsessed zealots. Exaggerating the dangers of the products we love most. Please shut up & go away.

Lacroix the taste of having fruit describe to you. I absolutely love that.
Coke used to have alcohol AND cocaine? The good old days really were better
Yeah cocaine in your drink and you can always come down with some good old fashioned over the counter heroin. What a time to be alive.

I am seriously jealous of those who lived then, legal heroin and cocaine is ideal.

Thanks! I used to really hate the flavor of both Coke and Pepsi, but I kept drinking it occasionally for the caffeine. And I think I drank it more and more. And now it tastes good and I crave it. I feel terrible, unfocused, and tired like something is missing if I don’t get it. Anyway going to try abstaining for a few weeks and see if anything changes. This will be rough because I have been trying to stop and haven’t been able to. And note that I have gotten off of opioids (prescribed by a doctor but still had bad withdrawals) more than once without much issue. Like the first time I felt as if I was dying and the second time I got crazy anxiety, but I still got through it in a few days. I have a hard time skipping one day of soda.
I don't know much about your situation, but if it's the depenedency of caffine is the reason you're unable to cut out soda, you can try to take replacing it with coffee. Or even try taking caffeine capsules. They are very cheap, and can be easily bought online. Caffeine alone does not have long term side effects as far as I am aware. Although if you're looking for a long high instead of a "high high" I think something like Yerba Mate would be better. I haven't tried it myself tho.
@@vanshvardhansingh345 Thanks! I am really trying to cut my caffeine use in general (chocolate is the exception) and only use it medicinally if I get a really bad migraine. But thanks for the recommendations!
It wasn't mentioned in the video but does anyone know how effective "diet" sodas actually are??
not. artificial sugar still fucks your blood sugar systems. The artificial sugar intake is correlated to increase in obesity, but that's just a correlation. The artificial sugars damage cells and are known carcinogens as well as irritants to the digestive system
the only real reason to consume diet soda is if you're diabetic. even then it's a bad move, but at least you wont pass out/die from 60g of sugar
Cutting out soda completely out of my life was probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Yes, it’s probably the second best thing I quit right after cigarettes.
I easily quit drinking pop when I was 18. Cigarettes are proving harder 😐
@@craftpaint1644 Don't give up. I may not know you but I respect your attempt to improve your health.
I still Drink some, probably twice a month
Mostly after payday
I worked for Coca-Cola for over a decade and can attest that some sales managers would sell their souls in order to increase sales. One told me that he would like to see Australian school children drink Coke with their breakfast. He also stated that the a long term goal was to replace tea with Coke in China. Having to taste test this acidic product on a daily basis has left me with three gold capped teeth.
I can bet you that these evil executives that push people to drink coke don't drink it themselves or give it to their kids.
Guess You’re To Know About “Coke Adds Life” 😊. Does Coca Cola, Any Product, Have An Original Song These Days?
Coke and sodas 🥤 are nearly as bad as alcohol 🍷 and cigarettes 🚬

ive worked as an undertaker and i cant tell you how many freedom sized coffins i was bothered to lift and carry arround, the biggest one we had in stock was called "the boat" since two people could have easily used it as such and having plenty of space for all the fishing equipment equipment one would need to survive a week on high seas... and yes ive seen it in action once.
I quit drinking soda after freshman year of high school. Gained about 12 lbs that year and learned my lesson real quick.
After seeing you say that Coca-Cola is advertised anywhere where someone would have a good time, it made me realise that seeing the brand name makes me happy for that reason.
Pavlov was right.
Propaganda!
Its literally known in every country that has contact with the outside world.
@@Elyseon That meat is making my mouth watery
I mean, why would they advertise it with anything else? Oh yeah, I too would love it if they advertised it with a neutral or sad face, that would make me want to buy it
I almost exclusively drink Pepsi on a daily basis, solely because of Pepsiman, a meme-tier mascot Pepsi refuses to bring back.

In Singapore, the health promotion board at times give out soda (sugar free) for completion of some healthy events
This is why I stopped drinking soda and only sparkling water. Cutting out sugar is so hard. But the results are phenomenal
You shouldn’t cut sugar from your diet completely, as your body still needs it. However, I’m talking about the sugars you find in fruits and vegetables; things like soda and candy are the things you should be cutting from your diet.
Imagine if Pepsi never changed name and still be called Brad's Drink
They should change it back
BRAD’S DRINK MAN!!!
it'd still be better than coca cola, and you could say that brads drink was so good the soviet union sold it's weapons for it.

Relate water is my lifeline trying to drink soda after years of water feels like poison I can feel the sugar and chemicals and it makes me want clean my insides with soap.
Currently about to go 2 years clean of any soft drinks. I'm positive that if I even have one shot of it now, it'll be like a sober person tasting alcohol for the first time in a long time
Vodka tastes way better than cola, and it doesnt even have a taste
@@user-is9qe9pe6d Yeah, but the burn feels good. At least hard liquors feel invigorating to drink; soda feels like drinking fizzy slag, comparatively.
Yeah, occasionally I’ll have a soda but I always need to have it with ice so that it gets diluted, drinking straight from the can is headache inducing. It’s scary how some people are saying soda makes water taste bad, like to me at least, water tastes so good.
The bloody big gulp. Geez I remember that. Should have been a felony.
