Maybe you want to have a cup of tea instead? Way more cheap and healthy. Or buy some off-brand soda. It is just as much garbage as coca cola but at least it’s cheap.
What’s the point of this comment? 99% of counties in the US have safe drinking water and the few that don’t get called out for it like this. This is probably a better situation than most countries - including yours
Got it. You’re totally ignoring my point that water straight from the tap is too unsafe to drink in multiple U.S. municipalities and are just trolling. Have fun with that.
Diet soda contains sweeteners that are suspected to cause cancer. Granted, you’d have to drink a couple of liters of diet soda a day before you need to be seriously concerned, but tea has one big advantage: It contains as much sugar or sweeteners as you add to it, so there’s that.

Or just water.
Yes, of course. Preferably tap water.
In America? Maybe not the best idea. Especially if you’re in, say, Jackson, Mississippi.

Ok, in some places you might want one of those bubblers at home, I guess.

Where did you get that 99% figure from? Because I suspect you made it up.
Especially since:

And then there are the substances which municipal water supplies don’t even need to get out of their water-

You may want to dig into the stat some more to get a handle on how bad the situation really is.

I’m pretty sure that wasn’t my point what with my link being about tap water. The thing the person I was replying to was talking about.
What? No no no. Clearly soda is the healthy option. You can never be too cautious.

Exactly, it’s unsafe, making pop the safer option.
I just need a sugar delivery medium. Preferably one that is socially acceptable.
Have you considered eating?
Coca cola is a little below 3€ a bottle (1.5l if i’m not mistaken) house brand is what the price should be at most: 0.89€.
I agree soda dependence isn’t a good thing, but there’s not much evidence diet soda is any less healthy than tea.

Wait a minute are you telling me that their isn’t a sugar fairy dumping copious amounts of sugar into my tea when I turn around?!?
Please tell me it ain’t so. Then I might actually have to take accountability for my actions and I can’t do that.
That particular fairy must be employed by the dentists’ lobby, I guess 😂
