Man, why does soda have to have so much sugar in it?

I drink 2-3 sodas per day.

They know sugar is addictive and therefore, you'll want to buy more.

Get sugar free soda

The sugar is what makes it taste great. Lemonade isn't much better. Ever had lemonade without enough sugar? Not good.

To get you addicted

I think the corn syrup was first used when the cool drink company couldn't afford sugar or there might of been a sugar shortage at some point. But since corn syrup is cheaper and more addictive they chose to keep using it.

To give you carbohydrates, that make you feel good and energetic after drinking it. So that you likes and get addicted to it. Sugar makes you addicted..

I drink seltzer water these days. Some are flavored but have no sweetener. I cant have a lot of sugar but water gets boring.

Thankfully high fructose corn syrup isn't a thing over here

And people are addicted to toxic levels of sugar anyway

I got used to drinking sugar free, but that’s also not good for you. So I rarely drink it now.

Because they want you to purchase diet soda, which is bit costlier.

I just drink sugar free soda. Else coffee or tea, and lots of water.

It's not even that it is sugar but that it is fructose besides.
