Why do americans consume so much fizzy drink?

cuz they're fat fucks that's why lmao :D

because they are fat and stupid

>go in grocery store
>see white redneck goobers (dude, his old lady, and their 3 year old-ish kid) with two 20 packs of soda in their cart
How the fuck can an average adult man, adult woman, and a preschool-aged child drink that much soda?

>>77370749
Wow wtf? If you have McDonald's 3 times a day with extra value meals, that's average of 3 litres of Coca Cola. It's a one way ticket to diabetes, no wonder their having trouble with healthcare.

>>77370794
health care is trouble because of inflated healthcare charge not because of mcdonald's

>>77370765
are the cups in OP are real?

>>77370765
Probably because they're lazy fucks that don't want to keep making trips to the grocery store, so they just bought the Coca Cola in bulk.

>>77370765
Would you believe, there are people you talk to who say "Ewww, how can anyone drink water? Disgusting."

Guess what? Soft drinks don't hydrate you, they cause you to lose moisture and become more thirsty, also the sugar and carbonation is pretty bad for you.

America has a 40-50% obesity rate. That's contributive to the high healthcare cost. It's simple economics. Demand>>>Supply.

I personally don't really drink soft drinks.
But,

Water
There soft drinks hydrate you.

Because refills aren't free.

>>77370856
This is a troll, right?

>>77370840
Bro you have to understand, it's difficult for a dude on a fat mobile to drive to the soft drink fountain and refill their cup. They need a bigger cup to reduce the number of trips.

>>77370859
that's right, the taxpayer ends up footing the bill

Actually caffeinated drinks in general cause you to lose moisture. Sugary drinks also leave a sticky coating in your mouth that makes you more thirsty.

We don't have much sugarcane because the bulk of the US doesn't have a suitable climate for growing it. Once upon a time we imported a large portion of our sugar supply from Cuba.

Anyway, corn syrup is no better or worse for you than cane sugar, provided you (obviously) don't consume it to excess.

A refill, regardless of the size, is 1,20 USD or 1,52 CAD.

We also make more money here. Go to Norway and it's going to cost even more.

>>77371201
i have never seen anyone refill at restaurants here. 1 cup is enough and if it runs out you can get chilled water for free

True story. Don't go to a bar in Helsinki, a small beer costs around 9 euros.

>>77371428
Yeah nah. Every health regulatory agency has concluded it's fine including the EU, NHS and FDA multiple times. Any source claiming it's dangerous is usually an individual doctor or some random organization that isn't even a regulatory body.

That's not the point Sven.

Plus drinking too much of sugary drinks is bad for you. Just drink water.

>>77371655
What's the point? Why are you complaining when they're offering refills for half the price of a new drink? A drink that is already fucking huge.

>>77371618
Can't answer that one, but I've heard from Norwegians that it really is that expensive. Such as a beer at a bar costs around $12.

>>77371482
It's ridiculous because the majority of a soft drink's price is from the cup itself. The liquid costs relatively little

>>77371722
maybe in america where everything is overproduced.

>>77371716
>12 dollars
Yo what the fuck. Can't imagine how expensive their Starbucks would be.

>>77371709
The point is you're being robbed. That's expensive for something as trivial as a refill, imagine for a second you are thirsty and it's a hot day out and want you want more than one cup. You gonna pay that $1.50 CAD for a refill? They are trying to take away the option for you. It's the principle of the matter and how they have you defending such a price.

>>77371745
I'm pretty sure manufacturing paper cups is more expensive than brewing liquid in a vat just about anywhere

>>77371722
A cup costs 5cents at most.

>>77371768
Yes I'm going to pay that because that's a fair price and I'm not a poor cuck that can't afford a fucking drink.

>>77371635

7-Eleven used to do 99 cent refills on all sized here but they had to stop because all their cups are molded plastic, durable and washable.

So what happened is everyone would just buy a double gulp or the massive $4 Super Big Gulp and permanently keep the cup at home. Wash it after use then every time they ever went to 7-Eleven and wanted a drink just bring it and get a $4 drink one for a dollar.
