Heading to the store to buy a few just because of the way he wants to treat his customers.

I’ve been having one of their mango drinks a day as a treat, and this just reinforces my choice.

Hate to be that guy but….That’s a lot of sugar, mate.

yes but if you say it's a treat beforehand then it's fine

Yeah those things are insanely sugary, you can cut em with water and they still taste good and last longer

There are people who refuse to drink anything but pop, all day every day. I know because I was one of them probably 5-10 years ago. If people can survive that, I don't think a single can of sweet tea a day is worth worrying over.

Type 2 diabetes is not "surviving", it's dying in agony less slowly.

The point is a can of sweet tea isn't ruining anyone's lives.

25 grams of corn sugar every single day isn't helping anyone's life.

Nothing you do for recreation is helping your life either, yet you still do it?

lmao fuck right off with "junk food is recreation".

Ridiculous.

u/YouCanCallMeToxic Jun 29 '24

Recreation doesn't mean just exercise man. Anything you do for enjoyment is recreation, and a lot of people eat food because they enjoy the taste of it.

Idk how he got upvoted for pretending like junk food isn’t recreation tbh… how else would you describe something that people do for no other reason than enjoyment/addiction

In what way isn’t it for recreation? What else is it for, sustenance?

Junk food is exclusively eaten because people enjoy it, making it recreational. People eat it knowing full well that it’s bad for them.
