At my grocery store today, Coke was on a buy 1, get 2 free, and there was plenty of product. Having a little trouble moving your product?

People need to stop drinking this poison anyway. Enough acid to dissolve a penny, the enamel on your teeth, and clean your toilet bowl, and enough GMO HFCS sweetener to cause your liver to implode after each can.
Slightly related: My buddy was forced to stop drinking Mountain Dew after getting kidney stones that almost landed him in the hospital. It was a direct result of not drinking water AND chugging a 12 pack of soda a week from the fridge along with eating takeout and having a large soda with each meal.
Soft drinks are the single worst "food" item in the American diet. It is just death.
7th leading cause of death in the nation (diabetes)
And we sell it to children in vending machines
Another silver lining to the Great Awakening: people are waking up to truth about EVERYTHING, including how we are being poisoned by all the toxic crap in our food.
On telegram there is even a channel called “QAnonNutrition” that talks about all of this.
Finally!
the only thing it's good for is mixing with whiskey... 4 parts whiskey... one part cola.... and then 4 more whiskey...
It is... just like once a month or two though I crave a Mountain Dew
I still drink that crap once in a while.
People above are being a bit dramatic. Just brush your teefs.
With everything in moderation.
I've never seen a skinny person drinking Diet Coke. It's ok, I'll still keep drinking that garbage!
Drink the natural flavored bubbly water instead.....Le Croix for example, there are also all kinds of knock offs. No sugar, no corona syrup.... typo intended/s
I can't give up my diet coke....it will kill me, but hey, I probably also have chocolate running through my veins as well!
It isn't that simple. GMOs can affect your DNA. And the cumulative effect of even “just a few here and there” can lead to significant health issues.
This is the Great Awakening. Time to wake up to how we have been poisoned for decades with toxic crap in our food supply. Time to stop being a willing victim to that. Time to take a stand and just say NO MORE.
Local? You do know what the I in IPA stands for?
Soft drink = soft kill
When I was a child, my grandparents had 2 refrigerators: one in the kitchen, and one by the back door that had nothing but six packs of glass Coke bottles from top to bottom. When a child was able to sit up and hold a baby bottle, they could have their own coke bottle (the small ones!) at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
That was several decades ago, and I still have enamel on my teeth despite drinking Coke all my life. I still have a healthy liver. And since normal stomach pH is <2.5, Coke or any other acidic drink isn't going to hurt it. In fact, if your stomach isn't below a pH of 2.5, preferably around 2.0, then your Lower Esophageal Sphincter won't close properly and you'll have a lot of reflux problems.
Coke is great to keep the drains and pipes in my house running freely too.
There are many reasons to argue against buying Coke products at this point in time, but the reasons you gave are not among them.
Soda used to be more of a treat, now it is often consumed several times a day. Yeah, and sugar was one thing but the HFCS is very bad. Our bodies don't know how to process it and it can destroy the liver. Now, non-alcoholic liver disease is a thing.
I have always been able to make soda last a long time, but I like the little cans they have now, even though they are a little more expensive. You get just a taste, which is all I really wanted anyway and I don't waste the larger can or feel compelled to finish it. That and I switched to drinking more sparkling water. I discovered what I was really missing was not the sugar et al, but the bubbles...
I love the Soda Stream machine I bought cheap on black Friday. It turns tap water into sparkling water and I create custom flavors from little bottles.
Unless carbonated water is a bad thing, I see no significant downside to my way of staying hydrated.
Yes exactly, the bubbles... scrubbing bulbs that wash down the sticky flem and bad tastes from foods, cigars, chewing tobacco etc..
The little cans are a great idea. I wish some of the sugar-cane sodas went to those.
Long ago I read a marketing book by John Sculley (CEO of Pepsi before his short stint at Apple) It was very interesting about the Cola Wars and how (and why) they introduced corn syrup. I think it was Coke early on that found that the bigger sized they made the bottles, the more people would buy. Then came things like the Big Gulp (which kept getting bigger and bigger) and Super Size.
OK, I will concede on the phosphoric acid part, but it's still bad for you in the amount most people consume. That said, HFCS is the liver bomb I was referring to. HFCS contains higher amounts of fructose which is converted to triglycerides in the liver. If you look up the history of HFCS in cola, it was only since the early 80's that it became a problem because that's when Coke started adding it to their formula. Before this, pure sugar was the sweetener of choice and is preferable in nearly every usage scenario aside from cost-savings.
My argument latterly has been that if you're eating enough sugar for the type of sugar to matter, you're eating too much sugar.
Sugar water isnt good for people
It's bad
Majorly bad
I agree, but I'll probably get killed in down votes....LOL
So what do I use now to get the rust stains from my well water out of my toilets and sinks? I only used it as a cleaning product and would buy a 2 liter ever other month for the deep cleaning.
You can still buy bulk phosphoric acid since that is the substance that does the job. Look up a recommended dilution scale and then make your own toilet / sink cleaner.

And where do we buy it instead of Amazon because we're boycotting Amazon too?
Looks like you can buy a gallon of Duda Energy phosphoric acid on Amazon for $44.03 ( https://www.amazon.com/Gallon-Grade-Phosphoric-Remover-Clean/dp/B06XZSW3QX/ ), or you can go directly to the manufacturer's website and purchase for $29.67 a gallon.

Ew Amazon.
Yay to making stuff yourself.
Vinegar works too.
Vinegar is already diluted to 5% acidity uselessness. Use phosphoric acid.
I have the orange hard water stains and C.L.R. and kaboom cleaners work miracles on it, I usually just pour a little in the toilet overnight once a week to keep it maintained.
Eating Taco Bell once a month seems to deliver similar results for me .... I suspect a similar mechanism.
Pumas Stone works perfectly for toilets and sinks, plus it will take The calluses off the feet of your wife.
I'll stick with fermented water.
You can pry my Mountain Dew from my cold, dead hands!
Theyre only cold and dead because you died of heart disease secondary to diabetes, sacrificing years of your life to the coca cola company
No big deal. Bottoms up!
Totally worth it. Btw Mountain Dew is a pepsi product.
Mountain Dew is a Pepsi product. I'm dumb...is Pepsi another of the ~200 to boycott?
Haven't seen/heard anything specific yet.
there's something about Pepsi and fetal cells but don't remember all the details, maybe someone else does?? I've switched to RC Cola, and it's been fine. said they donated quite a bit more to Republicans, so that's a positive. wish it had cane sugar, but it works for now.
