did you know the coffee beans actually come from a fruit? and the plant produces that fruit as a natural pesticide to kill off bugs that try to eat it. essentially man discovered a natural pesticide and found out that it gets you jacked but isn't strong enough to kill you like a bee.
Yeah, I knew about half of that! I recall reading about how coffee beans were consumed before they tried roasting them and making a tea outta them.
A rich history with coffee beans. And I love my coffee. I drink every work day, a full pot.
I'm not sure how I don't have withdrawal when I don't drink it...
Like, I need it for work and all, but on weekends or vacations, on feel fine without it, despite 5+ years straight of heavy drinking.
Guess I'm lucky, as I've heard of many getting headaches without it.
The only drugs I like other than caffeine are Kratom, Alcohol... Very occasionally marijuana (used to be a stoner, but began to her anxiety, so stopped enjoying being high).
lol eventually you'll get the headaches if you keep it up and/or start increasing your consumption. I've started noticing them lately, sometimes I will just forget to make a new thing of coffee for a day and start getting headaches. and yeah, stick to the basics, like someone up above said. water, coffee, wine, beer, spirits, pots not too bad, its definitely got a use. but you can over-do anything.
You're confusing two different things. Coke is not acidic enough to cause damage to your stomach, not even over time, as it's less acidic than the acid in your stomach. Your stomach lining is designed to be resistant to your stomach acid, which means it will also be resistant to every weaker acid. That is completely independent of the fact that cutting out coke will help lose weight. That has nothing to do with its acidity, just that it's a calorie dense drink, so cutting it is an easy way to consume less calories. The only danger from acidic drinks is to your teeth; it literally doesn't affect any other part of your body.
"Your stomach lining is designed to be resistant to your stomach acid, which means it will also be resistant to every weaker acid"
I was working under the assumption that this was not the case. Sort of like how different viruses affect us differently. It's been a long time since I took chemistry and biology and your argument seems sound, so I'll defer and concede the point.
The weight loss impact is real, and I'll also note that carbonated drinks do appear to cause gas.
The moral is to not drink soft drinks and I thank you for correcting my bad assumption.
I dont think thats the whole story. I'm fairly certain there's an agreement with pepsi and cocacola that involves distribution areas because some places can have Dr. Pibb and some cant.
It is owned by KDP, but is distributed by Pepsi where I live. I work for an Anheuser Busch distributor that also sells KDP products, among many other suppliers. Dr. Pibb is not available here as far as I'm aware
Same here. Dr. Pepper made, bottled and distributed by Pepsi. In this area also though, there are some 10% or so retail/restaurants that have Coke products, but also have Dr. Pepper instead of Pibb. Not sure how that works between the contentious rivalry they have in this area.... Probably along the lines of Husky's comment above.
Yeah it’s just distribution rights and the company that distributes Coca-Cola (KO) is a separate company named Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE). Dr. Pepper is distributed either by Coca-Cola or Pepsi depending on the area. They were independently owned 15 years ago at least.
What Digger said. In some markets, Dr Pepper is bottled in Coke plants and stocked to the shelves by Coke employees. Coke is getting a cut of the sale when you buy Dr Pepper in those markets.
Sorry about that. We've slowed it to better match Biden's cognitive abilities. He thought the pages were loading too fast, claimed it was some Trump malarkey and hid under his chair. Now, he just watches patiently as the page spins and loads like a small child, while muttering "cmon man."
Showerthought: we should really keep track of the home addresses of every corporate board member just in case we ever want to send them a thank you card or maybe a singing telegram.
The main point of the state is to organize how violence is used.
The left has created circumstances where violence by the right is responded to with extreme harshness while violence by the left is excused to the greatest extent possible.
We need to internalize this reality and respond accordingly.
Dr. Pepper is not a coke product. It is literally dr. Pepper inc. Out of Plano texas. It is only distributed by coca cola on a regional basis. Sometimes they distribute themselves, sometimes its Pepsi or c.c.
Coca Cola was the highest-selling soft drink in the world. So what did they do? They changed their formula and tried to be more like Pepsi that does not have the cocaine leaf derivative like Coke did. Everybody hated it and sales plummeted. So they returned to the old recipe and called it Coca Cola Classic. Now how stupid is that? If the machine works, why fix it? Don't think they will be able to fix this. Pepsi! Born in the Carolinas.
Conspiracy theory is that they just switched to New Coke in the interim because they wanted to change from Coke I to Coke III anyways, but if they did it immediately, everyone would be pissed. So they introduced "New Coke" for 6 mos. to distract everyone, and people were just happy to get back Coke III afterwards once they tasted the shitty ass new Coke and didn't notice the difference b/w it and the first one.
They probably are. But if Pepsi saw they could scoop up some numbers from Coke for dropping any woke crap they're currently putting out, that might be helpful.
It’s the same nonsense every corporation is doing. Boycotting will do nothing as they are the largest soda company in the world and have corporate deals with tons and tons of places. What will work is their employees quitting and people sending in complaints and demanding them to rebrand. With enough backlash and lack of workforce, they’ll drop it.
Boycotting Coke will work just like our boycott of Walmart, Twitter, Facebook, and Amazon. What happened to those companies? Oh they're still making billions every day.
Your post made me look up Cheerwine. Looks like it's still on its own. (Cheerwine is a cherry-flavored soft drink by Carolina Beverage Corporation of Salisbury, North Carolina.)
Filtered water is all I drink. And 1 cup of coffee in the morning that I brew at home with beans from the fine gents at Texas State of Mind Coffee Company. No alcohol. Very rare soda pop. Gotta treat the body right.
FYI, Dr Pepper is a separate company not owned by Coca Cola. They essentially pay Coke to piggy back on their vending infrastructure since Coke and Pepsi frequently force businesses to only serve their brand by contract.
Dr Pepper production and store distribution are not related to Coke.
Coca-Cola has made more black Americans diabetic than any other soft drink brand. Just the truth. They laughed so much about making them addicts. Easy money they said.
There is a definite taste difference between Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi. DC is crap. That being said, I have cut my DP consumption at least in half and switched to well water. That reminds me, doesnt Coke own Dasani bottled water, the company who fills their bottles with tap water/whatever??? Not very ethical.
These insane, racist, liberal minded minorites/White uncle Tom's, have a wet dream to pansify White people. They hate us, and if they can turn us into cucks, couch potatoes and soyboys, while embracing violence and thuggery, it's all the easier for them to wipe the floor with YT and for them to take power and dominance
"Be less ignorant" in this context is what they tell democracy protestors in Chinese concentration camps. If you are not repeating the lies of the cult you are "demonstrating ignorance."
drink pure water instead of poisonous sugary liquid. you're conditioned to destroy your body with that poison. break with it
I used to like beer. I still like beer, but I used to like it too.
Heroin Mitch > Cocaine Mitch
Water, beer, coffee, wine, spirits. Not always in that order and some more than others.
I'm glad coffee is seen as healthy as a whole.
They say the more coffee cups per day, the lesser the chance you suffer from heart disease!

That's a fact. Life is about moderation, and that goes for everything in life.
I used to drink and smoke a ton when I was younger. Luckily I grew out of that college age phase, and became more of a sober man.
I used to get extremely wild when I'd drink. Not mean or violent. Just very high energy, silly, and fun. People used to love drinking with me haha.
But hey, I'm glad I don't party so much.
I'm over that hill. Now I get horribly caffeine Withdrawals if I DON'T constantly hit the coffee/tea. In fact, it's almost time now...
The headaches are normally from lack of water/hydration.
That is normal, and most don't drink a lot of water when they drink a large amount.
Headaches can be from hyper stress tension from being too hyped up as well. Just depends on the person.
Too much gives me anxiety. 1-3 cups a day is my sweet spot ☕
I’m not very happy with the Coca Cola Company right now. That’s okay, I’ll still keep drinking that garbage.
Mmmmmmmmmm - beer.
Hashtag me too
It is OBVIOUSLY all about race for the SJW crazies, and to counteract that, the response would be to disagree.
THIS IS WHY white supremacists are the SJWs other side of the coin.
Either it is all about race, or it isnt. Which side are you on?
Filter your water too — this shit they are starting to pump in that is scary too
Reverse osmosis. Drink it for a week and you won’t be able to go back.
The sugar will feed stuff you don't want growing, but look up "Get off your Acid", great book
I grew up on Mountain Dew, but haven't had a soda in more than a decade.
I did buy a Coke to clean up some grease off the driveway though. Imagine what a solvent that strong does to your stomach?
Your stomach acid is hydrochloric acid, is more acidic than coke.
Yes it is, but we have defenses for our stomach acid, which is why we don't spill our guts all over the sidewalk.
Coke is acidic enough to do damage over time. There's a few reasons why nutritionists say the easiest way to lose 10 lbs is to give up soda.

My dentist would agree with you when I had to have new replacement crowns after 30 yrs
Water, coffee, beer.
Dr. Pepper is owned by Keurig in the states and by Pepsi in Canada.
Coke only owns Dr. Pepper in Europe and South Korea.
It's Mr. Pibb that's owned by Coke.
I dont think thats the whole story. I'm fairly certain there's an agreement with pepsi and cocacola that involves distribution areas because some places can have Dr. Pibb and some cant.
https://www.keurigdrpepper.com/
It is owned by KDP, but is distributed by Pepsi where I live. I work for an Anheuser Busch distributor that also sells KDP products, among many other suppliers. Dr. Pibb is not available here as far as I'm aware
You're not missing anything, Mr. Pibb tastes like carbonated Robitussin.
Yeah, anytime I order DP and the waitress offers Pib, I'll have rootbeer.
The old formula Mr Pibb was awesome but the current formula sucks.
Agreed.
That sounds awesome.
Same here. Dr. Pepper made, bottled and distributed by Pepsi. In this area also though, there are some 10% or so retail/restaurants that have Coke products, but also have Dr. Pepper instead of Pibb. Not sure how that works between the contentious rivalry they have in this area.... Probably along the lines of Husky's comment above.
Dr. Pepper isn't a Coke or Pepsi product. Some Pepsi distributors carry it, some Coke distributors carry it. Depends where you live.
10% of restaurants have Coke products? Must not like selling liquor.
Yeah it’s just distribution rights and the company that distributes Coca-Cola (KO) is a separate company named Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE). Dr. Pepper is distributed either by Coca-Cola or Pepsi depending on the area. They were independently owned 15 years ago at least.
CCE has been gone for quite some time in the US.
And it's produced on contract. So in some places, it's produced by 7UP.
What Digger said. In some markets, Dr Pepper is bottled in Coke plants and stocked to the shelves by Coke employees. Coke is getting a cut of the sale when you buy Dr Pepper in those markets.
I'm so confused.
I'm black, but conservative so that makes me an uncle tom.
I have white in me too so that makes me a bigoted racist white supremacist.
If I'm black I'm a super predator and need to be brought to heel. (clinton)
I'm not black if I don't support the left.
So what am I? I guess I'll be racial fluid 😅
I was confused how you were on the internet until I got to the third sentence.
You both win today! 😅
They shorting white privilege, we've got to buy and hold!
Diamond hands.
What can I say, I like the stonk.
I just realized they only talk about racism and helping minorities.
I'm not looking for help or favors but being black I haven't received anything because of my race.
So for lefties it's all just talk.
Don't worry, I'll shelter you whites when they start coming for you. I suppose you should start writing your own diary like anne frank did.
Remember Obamaphones?
I have Biden internet. It's slow because it's dial-up.
Sorry about that. We've slowed it to better match Biden's cognitive abilities. He thought the pages were loading too fast, claimed it was some Trump malarkey and hid under his chair. Now, he just watches patiently as the page spins and loads like a small child, while muttering "cmon man."
Why are you on the internet???
Wait, so when are you going to cash in your white privilege you bigoted racist? Can you pay yourself reparations? How much would you pay yourself?
Dr. Pepper is not owned by Coke. It can be featured with coke product lineup or with Pepsi Co. Dr. Pepper is owned by Keurig now. https://www.drpeppersnapplegroup.com/?refPageViewId=519931648135e386
I used to say id never give up my dr. Pepper and rum but I prefer Shasta Pop now since it’s half the price and tastes the same.
You don't just drink it on the rocks? Wtf is wrong with you?
Rum really brings out and accentuates the experience of the 23 flavors that is Dr. Pepper
Dr. P and some Kraken rum... yep!
Well i go with the Dr. Shasta now, she’s sexier anyway kek
Kraken isn't the best rum I've had, but it's HIGHLY underrated. Some people think it's the worst rum on earth and that's clearly not the case.
Might I Suggest Pusser's British Navy Rum; They store it in Oak Wood Barrels to give it a mild Whiskey esq. Flavor.
Really? Because when I was 4, I was still trying to figure out if my favorite color of crayon was blue or red.
Pretty sure my daughter doesn’t discriminate between her black, tan and white mermaid barbies.
She just likes them for their bright hair colours.

It's still shit though.

So they introduced "New Coke" for 6 mos. to distract everyone, and people were just happy to get back Coke III afterwards once they tasted the shitty ass new Coke and didn't notice the difference b/w it and the first one.
Pepsi. The Choice of a New Generation that doesn't want to be fucked with for being white.
Lol. You think Pepsi isn't doing the same woke garbage?
They probably are. But if Pepsi saw they could scoop up some numbers from Coke for dropping any woke crap they're currently putting out, that might be helpful.
Coke owns way more stuff than people realize. Look at the fine print on beverage bottles. It's not just soda that they own.
It’s the same nonsense every corporation is doing. Boycotting will do nothing as they are the largest soda company in the world and have corporate deals with tons and tons of places. What will work is their employees quitting and people sending in complaints and demanding them to rebrand. With enough backlash and lack of workforce, they’ll drop it.
Boycotting Coke will work just like our boycott of Walmart, Twitter, Facebook, and Amazon. What happened to those companies? Oh they're still making billions every day.
We boycotted Kmart back in the day. Fucked 'em good.
Kmart didn't need help to fuck themselves. We were going to Walmart anyways
Dr pepper is not a Coke product.
It's still shit though.
Can't disagree.
Wanna know the best way to hurt these companies deeply?
Push your state legislators to make it illegal to purchase soda pop with food stamps / ebt.
Over 10% of all food stamps go to fucking soda!
And MOST people agree food stamps shouldn't be spent on soda, seeing that everyone knows how unhealthy it is.
If you drink soda daily, quit. At least go with something healthier in comparison, like Coffee.
But yeah, that alone would hurt soda companies big time!
#BringBackGovernmentCheese
RC Cola is owned by DrPepper/Keurig. Anyone know if their level of fuckery is any better than coke?
Your post made me look up Cheerwine. Looks like it's still on its own. (Cheerwine is a cherry-flavored soft drink by Carolina Beverage Corporation of Salisbury, North Carolina.)
Check where your store brand is made. Many of them are mad at local or regional customers beverage plants.
Or, drink water and milk and juice sometimes amd they can all go fuck themselves. They can make all their money off foodstamps.
Unsweetened tea from a local tea merchant. Sugar if you must.
Maybe one of these days there will be a product I can boycott.
DR PEPPER IS NOT A COKE PRODUCT ~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dr pepper is NOT owned by Coca Cola
At what point does this become illegal? Aren't there laws against racial segregation/discrimination?
Dr Pepper is owned by Coke? I'm not so sure about that.
I don't think Dr. Pepper is owned by Coke.
coca-cola employee: How does this help us sell more Coke? Presenter: Coke?
FYI, Dr Pepper is a separate company not owned by Coca Cola. They essentially pay Coke to piggy back on their vending infrastructure since Coke and Pepsi frequently force businesses to only serve their brand by contract.
Dr Pepper production and store distribution are not related to Coke.
Dr. Pepper isn’t a Coke product.
How about we abandon all soda and just drink water instead? Puts us miles ahead of leftists health wise.
Or, just avoid soft drinks outright... stick with some high quality H2O (avoid Dasani, it's a Coke product)!
Dr. Pepper isn't a coke product...

DR Pepper isnt a coke product. That would be Pibb. DR Pepper is its own weird thing.
I'll have a Pepsi then...unless...
New Years resolution cut them out
Those are all "white" qualities? It just goes to show how arrogant and flat out racist these fuckers are.
That's a hostile work environment. Every employee should sue.
Welp, add Coke to the list
Done and done.
Coca-Cola has made more black Americans diabetic than any other soft drink brand. Just the truth. They laughed so much about making them addicts. Easy money they said.
The left: there is systemic racism.
Me: so its better to be white?
The left: racist!

I need to cut out the caffeine anyway. Water beats all.

Boylan bottling has way better sodas and their drinks contain pure cane sugar, way better for the body.
