yup. that poo poo can get away from you *fast* without realizing it. of course nutritional education in this country is total garbage so most people don't realize just a single can a day is already pushing it

Someone from South America once posted on these forums, years ago, about how Americans eat too much "celebration foods" and he was spot on.

being away from the drinks fridge in the office has got me back to maybe a can of coke a week, much easier to manage when you can control what comes into the house. unfortunately I’m also walking a lot less.

in the past week or so I've started having reflux for like a solid hour after drinking anything carbonated. at first I thought maybe it was my heart but then I realized I've been doing five miles of brisk walking a day

I gotta find something with caffeine that isn't carbonated or highly acidic

i used to drink one at midnight when i got off work and a second one at about 3:30 AM.

I almost _died_ and I certainly have persisting cardio problems because of that habit

gently caress I just found out (several years late) that gandalf parker died

pouring one out for my usenet homie. I remember I had a shell on one of his machines back in the day and it got owned and he thought that I did it. I didn't, and convinced him of that, and he actually, like, apologized and it was no big deal. it sounds dumb now but at that point in my life somebody believing me and apologizing for not trusting me meant a lot. he was a good guy

for confusing historical reasons certain beverage packaging sizes in america are mandatory metric by law

soda cans are 330 ml because beer cans are required to be 330 ml by law -- they were originally 12 oz. see also: 750 ml wine and whiskey bottles are mandatory. they used to be 1/5th gallon

at the same time... most beverages are sold by fl oz. even other alcoholic beverages. a 40 oz beer is exactly 40 oz. a 12 oz beer has a rounding error, because it is 330 ml

thanks, ttb, i guess

in the 1970s the united states pretended it was on the road to metric, literally. as a boy I can remember dual american/metric system road signs

i don't think i have seen one in at least twenty years

the weird mixed american/metric packaging standards for alcoholic beverages are rooted in that 1970s optimism, but unlike the road signs, after the beverage industries standardized on some metric sizes, there was no interest whatsoever in either switching back (abandoning metric) or finishing the switch (abandoning american customary)

so now america has a wild mixture of metric and customary measures in beverage packaging.... and pretty much no other goods .

Holding a soda can right now that says 12 fluid oz (355 ml) on it

I don't think they can round up 7% like that
