I dropped major soda brands for the supermarket version. It’s 1/3 of the cost and basically the same thing. $10 for a 12 can pack, fuck off.
Why not ditch soda altogether?
Why? It’s tasty and I don’t drink sugar sodas.
Like what ways?
My teeth are in perfect condition, and my doctor is impressed with my health after a recent physical. I think there may be fewer additives and flavors than you recall. The sugar is the bad part. I think most aversion to sugar free soda is based on inconclusive evidence. Seeing as I have a relatively healthy diet otherwise, I don’t feel it is a risky situation.
Now, other chemicals and plastics seeping into the food is another thing entirely, and will only get worse as time goes on and regulations are eliminated.
