Sprite is fucking garbage.

Its only value is that it's one of only a few sugarfree versions that isn't entirely undrinkable.

Soda should be retired entirely. Gotta be the leading cause of childhood obesity. I know the parents are supposed to do parenting but still, fuck soda.

Same. Sometimes I cut a piece of fruit and put it into my water just to give it taste as well.

Seems like the better solution would retire all plastic bottles and start selling reusable bottles and have fountains in the stores but I guess that requires too much infrastructure change or w/e

Actually it's bc the thing that keeps soda companies in business is the 20oz package. We make roughly a dollar per bottle sold. To put that in perspective the margin on 24pck of cans is like a nickel per.

The cost of installing and maintaining a fountain machine with the options available in 20oz just wouldn't work. Add in BiBs (what fountains use) have notoriously shit dates and are prone to breaking/leaking is another issue.

How about we stop doing plastic bottles altogether? Why has a major brand not switched to all aluminum or those carton type bottles?

Aluminum is (last I heard) way more expensive and harder to get ahold of. The cartons can't withstand the acidity of soda and would be eaten through.

So you're saying these solutions are plausible but $$$$$

Fuck capitalism

I get it. However, it's not just $. There's entire supply lines and so much logistics that go in to it.

$ is just where the buck stops though.

i would buy into that provided it was cheaper than the bottled soda on shelves.
costs 1$ for dr pepper off brand. avoid the walmart brand cherry coke (doesn't compare to the real coca cola stuff).

Glass is infinitely recyclable, and is functionally just quartz when tossed in a landfill otherwise.

To be fair, all soda is garbage. You just won't really notice it until you stop drinking it for a long while before trying to drink another.

Yes, we know. I can still get a 2-liter for $1, meanwhile the 20oz. is well over $2. Miss me with that. Never bought a single 20oz. If I don't have a 16oz. bottle of water or a 20oz. bottle of Gatorade, I go without until I get home. Fuck soda companies.
