No, stay away from it.
Space coke was okay
Soda tastes good and caffeine is helpful, so yeah. Also the combination of water, citric or phosphoric acid, carbonation, and caffeine all work together to help keep your gi tract moving unobstructed. Soda used to be marketed as a health product for that reason, and even to this day Coca-Cola is used in hospitals as the front line treatment for clearing bezoars (intestinal blockages).
>Soda used to be marketed as a health product
So did cocaine and heroin.
Those are good too in the right contexts. Heroin is basically the same as the morphine that serves as one of the most essential medicines in use today and cocaine is a decent topical anesthetic.
Most of the negatives of heroin and cocaine are related to how they're prohibited and how users resort to black market sources with sloppy products or even totally different substances substituted or mixed in, along with unhygienic practices like needle reusing / sharing.

What an insane cope. Maybe they're also bad for being, I dunno, massively addictive?
It sounds like you've taken the harm reduction argument and taken it to some kind of absurd conclusion where the substances are free of all wrongdoing. Why aren't people dying of pot overdoses, Dr. Feelgood?
>Why aren't people dying of pot overdoses, Dr. Feelgood?
pot doesn't kill the body but it does cloud the mind and kill the spirit
>cloud the mind and kill the spirit
exact opposite is true.
>cloud the mind and kill the spirit
Idk anon Im pretty creative when I smoke it. Guess it depends on whether or not you chose to do something or sit around and consoom. Cloud the spirit I can agree with you on that because it makes you do questionable things that you wouldnt normally do sober. I usually just stay by myself and think when on it.
>inb4 weedle deedle deee!
I guess so. I wasnt trying to make it sound that way but any justification of it does wind up sounding like that
>stay by myself and think when on it
this is the proper use.
you spitball ideas when high.
you plan them out for success after you come down.
>Maybe they're also bad for being, I dunno, massively addictive?
"Addictive" just means you want to do it a lot. Your next line will be "b-but you don't REALLY want to do it, it's just chemicals making you want to do it!" Which is stupid because everything you want is the result of electrochemical interactions.
The only non-meme case where calling something addictive is meaningful is with drugs that can seriously injure or kill you from withdrawals, like alcohol or benzodiazepines. Neither cocaine nor heroin fall into that category though and unlike with alcohol or benzo withdrawal hospitals won't consider it an emergency and will probably tell you to go home and sleep it off if you try to check yourself into one.
so did lsd and meth still is
>cocaine and heroin
still used in medicine today.
>Also the combination of water, citric or phosphoric acid, carbonation, and caffeine
You forgot the obscene amount of sugar, which nullifies all this
You could use the diet kind I guess if you're bothered by sugar.
artificial sweeteners like sucralose are not much better, they frick with your gut balance
you can't win with these syrups, just wean your tastebuds off the sweetness addiction and drink less of it
Drinking soda gives me gas and makes me fart
Diabeetus
i have occasionally had one when nothing else was available, but i haven't purchased soda in over 20 years.
/thread
Bang energy drinks are pretty neat
What makes them different from other carbonated filth?
More caffeine and no calories.
Still full of poison. You remind me of the landwhales who get diet soda for the "healthier" choice.
>he can't handle a bit of taurine
Sad
Enjoy your food colorings and artificial sweeteners you dumb frick
Enjoy hell, you homosexual troony
>calling someone a troony for not drinking goyslop
Are you moronic? Do you have brain damage?
You do from all the fricking hormones and shit you take you troon frick.. DIE
>You do from all the fricking hormones and shit you take you troon frick
You literally drink energy drinks and probably also drink city tap water, the microplastics and hormones must be making you emotional today
Hey man, you asked the question
they took away the birthday cake flavor, but kept unicorn à la gay
>birthday cake flavor energy drink
do americans really
Just diabetes and kidney stones
Yeah cause mtn dew taste really good
No, but if you want to know what it tastes like, water it down with a lot of water
you're missing out on Baja Blast
I don't care about mountain dew or taco bell but I'm comically obsessed with Baja Blast
I applaud you anon, I'm currently on a streak of not consuming any carbonated drink, juice, or other sweet beverages. Water and whole milk only.
>whole milk
Based. I love milk. Mussolini even called it "perhaps the greatest food known to man"
>am I missing out on any thing
diabetes
That mango mountain dew baja blast is fricking disgusting. Everyone was going full on consoomer about it to the point where I couldnt find it. Tried it finally, tastes like a strange, flat yet carbonated regular baja blast with more corn syrup added. My mom liked it though so I gave it to her.
no
