The discussion centers around the recent introduction of 16 oz Coke bottles sold in six-packs, with participants expressing mixed feelings about the change. Some view the reduction in size as a positive move to encourage moderation in soda consumption, while others criticize the pricing strategy, noting that the smaller bottles are sold at the same price as the larger 20 oz bottles. There are concerns about the amount of sugar and carbonation loss in larger bottles, with some participants sharing personal experiences of preferring smaller sizes for convenience and health reasons. The conversation also touches on the broader implications of soda consumption, including health issues like diabetes and the quality of drinking water in certain areas. Overall, the shift to smaller bottles has sparked a debate about portion sizes, pricing fairness, and health impacts associated with soda consumption.

I had some Pomegranite(sp?) Juice once, very tasty, but a bit too expensive for me. It was like $5CA (~$4 US) for 250ml :o. Orange juice is the best. :)

I only drink Minute Maid Cranberry Juice, Pomegrante Juice (from some weird place), Low Acid Old South Orange Juice and Milk. I'll have soda when I go out and that's about it.

Your Minute made has high fructose corn syrup. The same bad for you junk in my pepsi, buddy. You also have 30g of sugar per serving, 2 grams more than my bottle of pepsi sitting infront of me.

Um... I never said anything about people drinking soda. Plus, sugar doesn't really bother. It's more the acid.

I have no idea where you're coming with this. I just mentionned what I drink.

Yeah, it is expensive. What I do is fill half the glass with it and the other half with water.

This brings me back to Cyrus' comments. I buy frozen juice and add about 40-50% extra water, so in fact I have less sugar!

Note: One time I just ate the frozen can. So freaking good! I won't do it again though... well... maybe.

Also, when I go to the movies, I get the largest coke cup, which is who knows how big. That's the bad part. The bad part is that I refill it!
