A can of Coca Cola

@IamCuriousBabe Yes, every morning, some people drink coffee, I have a can of coca cola.

@NativePortlander1970 No worry about sugar?

@IamCuriousBabe Real sugar doesn't bother me, artificial sweetners on the other hand gives me blinding headaches.

@IamCuriousBabe The amount of sugar in Coke and orange juice is approximately the same.

@NativePortlander1970 artificial sweeteners taste like crap anyway

@Punches I remember when nutrasweet first came out around new years day 1982, everyone got a small packet of five small white gumballs in the mail, they were nasty, an hour later I was puking and had a nasty blinding headache. My friend's mother rushed his younger sister and me to the small iowa hospital ER, which was full of others having the same reaction. I was 11 at the time, my friend's little sister was 9.

@NativePortlander1970 the only product I use that has artificial sweeteners are those low carb Monster Energy drinks and I just cannot get used to the strange flavor of those. If it was slightly off that would be one thing but it is a totally different taste. Artificial sweeteners from what I've heard are just as harmful but in different ways.

@Punches Premade drinks that have it are transported in metal trailers going down the road, once their temperature hits 85F, they chemically convert to formaldehyde.

@NativePortlander1970 Jesus christ 😬

I kind of do not believe that because I do not think they would sell that but then I kind of DO believe it because it tastes weird. Energy drinks taste like bull p*ss and batttery acid. Yeah I drink them, kind of hooked.

@Punches When you look at the ingredient list of pretty much any prepared food or drink, they have chemicals in it that should never be ingested.
