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.
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...
Yes exactly, the bubbles... scrubbing bulbs that wash down the sticky flem and bad tastes from foods, cigars, chewing tobacco etc..
