Dip’s Hits

What I want to know is what the heck is wrong with people. Well, I think that’s going to be a common theme for this blog, so I guess I need to be a bit more specific.

Doesn’t everyone know that soda is bad for you? I mean, even when we all went to school a zillion years ago, there was that kid who did the experiment with putting a tooth in a cup of Pepsi overnight and showed how rotted it was? Of course, that was to show tooth decay, but what is the magical thing that causes it? Okay, bacteria, right. No, soda is not full of bacteria, sheesh. But, bacteria need sugar. LOTS OF SUGAR.

Apparently there’s an epidemic of obesity in this country (and pretty much everywhere else, according to National Geographic). And.. . besides the obvious fat bodies who eat themselves into oblivion, there’s the soda link. Soda, coke, pop, whatever you call it, it is every fricking where. Here’s what gets me- every fast food joint in the country has a soda fountain now. It used to be that you got one soda and that was it. Now, they’re fricking fountains of sugar- never ending.

Being a cheapskate, I like that. I can drink as much as I want for the same price.

However, I ONLY DRINK DIET SODA, because I’m not a moron. Do you know how much sugar is in a can of soda? It is obscene. It is Kool-Aid.. with bubbles. Try this- spill some on your driveway. Then watch the fricking ant-and-insect parade go at their new treasure.

So, know we know that sugared soda is fricking bad, but having lots of soda available is good for cheapskates… what’s the solution? Here it is:

HAVE MORE THAN ONE DIET SODA CHOICE AT A SODA FOUNTAIN

Gosh, it is amazing in its simplicity. Going a step further, have them *all* diet sodas. Then use the sugar you’d have stuck in the can, which ended up on your ass be used to make ethanol or something useful other than an over-the-belt flap of fat.

k?
