How can anyone drink Soda?

on gaf, there's a thread comparing three different variations of the same soda style -- sprite, 7-up, and sierra mist.

how can they just casually discuss the intake of a beverage so vile and unhealthy?

All soda drinking is inspired by sugar addiction, the flavoring is added so you don't feel bad about being a sugar addict. So, all soda is the same soda, too bad Americans are too fat and delusional to realise this.
