| #9 And in the South (at least in Mississippi), the question, "you want a Coke?" is generic for a soda, not to be taken literally. But I'll take sugar over high fructose corn syrup any day. |

| #8 I pretty much stay away from sugary drinks. Remember the discussion we had here recently about how unhealthy carbonated soda is — dissolving teeth, acidifying the body, and of course the health effects of either sugar or artificial sweeteners. Y’all are in tune with the zeitgeist in this, and as a result carbonated drinks sales have been dropping fairly steadily for fifteen years, despite some stockpiling at the beginning of the lockdown. The other side of the coin is that consumers are buying more flavoured/vitamined waters and energy drinks, many of which are produced by the same companies, so they’re still capturing consumer dollars. Coca-Cola’s brands can be found here, a feeling of PepsiCo’s here. |

| #6 I read chili recipes every chance I get. My chili has 6 ingredients. I always stop reading when I get to "two cups of packed brown sugar." W T F ? |

| #5 /\ Wise move. No real need to add sugar to tea, coleslaw, grits, green bean casserole, etc. There is a long-term downside. |

| #4 I pretty much stay away from sugary drinks. Give me some unsweetened iced tea any day. I know it's sacrilege in the South, but I'm basically a relocated yankee boy. |

| #3 Why empower any company playing Racial Politics for profit, by purchasing their product? |

| #1 "Things go Better with Coke" <- not in Georgia they don't, you screwed the pooch on this one Warren Buffett <--- largest shareholder of Coke stock @ nearly 10% of outstanding shares (2020). Your money doesn't mean you can engage in social engineering old timer, you (91 years old) and your partner Munger (96 years old) @ Berkshire Hathaway are about to meet The Big Guy any day now, statistically speaking, so liquidate while you have the chance, set up your charities or piss it all to the wind, no one cares, but stop being an asshole, while you still have a chance. |
