wdym? i notice them either way. i consume them because i want to taste them. like when i want to taste phosphoric acid and caffeine, i drink coke. if the taste didn't matter, i wouldn't go through the hassle of getting them and just drink tap water and eat plain toast or rice
It's a lot more obvious if you're not consuming foods and beverages with added sugar. If you go long enough, sodas taste disgustingly sweet.
I stopped drinking soda for 4 months and when I started again I liked it just as much as before, it was sweet but not disgustingly so. Everyone has their own threshold.
Not at Starbucks. I mean, you can customize your order and ask them to tone it down on the additives, but if you just order off their menu, you either get a black coffee or (I like how OP said it) a milkshake.
I don't see how that has any relevance to my comment.
It doesn't. I was trying to reply to someone else who was saying there was more than the two extremes of drinks.
Fair enough!
Yeah, something went wrong. Probably PEBCAK, but let's blame the software, shall we?
Not for me. I only consume coke every once in a while. I sometimes go for months drinking only water, black coffee and the occasional beer, yet I still enjoy Coke.
