You want to take health advise from Coke?

@@Dub I rather like the Fairlife milk too! It's pricey though. Dasani Water - don't buy it, but in a pinch I would. Coca Cola had to diversify into other things because their sales of soda are taking....well not really they are still making billions but it's not the same amount of billions they made before.

I haven't ingested soda in a long time. I used to drink it daily, but as of about 3 years ago I went cold turkey. I did have a period prior to surgery where I let it back in my life for a little while but once I decided to pursue surgery I eliminated it again.

​Will I NEVER have a soda for the rest of my life? Probably not....I can see a ginger ale in my future maybe....or a root beer float for a treat....but every day? NAH. No thanks. I just don't want to waste the calories drinking them.

Coca-cola is a marketing company that sells sugar and Water or fake sugar and Water, or just water (Dasani anyone?).

And now they sell milk, too.

Fairlife is pretty good stuff.....almost hate to admit this.

it is good! very tasty but. I think probably not necessary to fiddle with milk quite so much.

Nestle has been doing the same thing in the developing world for years. Selling "fortified" chocolate and Cookies and telling people they are healthy.

It doesn't matter really. The US is a flat market. All the growth for most companies is in the developing world. There are areas of the world where Water is bad, so people just drink coke.

People were drinking Coca-Cola for decades and not getting massively fat. The difference was, soda was considered a rare treat, it was made with real sugar, and it was in reasonable portions.

I usually have Fairlife regular & chocolate in the fridge because my son likes to drink them............and I've "heard" an ounce their chocolate makes for a mean cup of mocha coffee.

Lard makes amazingly flaky pie crusts, ahem, Memeire's tortiere doesn't lie. It's awesome!

So glad coke is out of my life!

Hey I just read that "some surgeons" are ok with coke (insert sarcasm).

I know it is hard I love red wine coffee WITH caffeine (I look forward to having small amounts one day) and I loved Perrier (have let set in travel mug for a day to get totally flat, still like flavor but probably not buying anymore). But seriously, I am new, but really? limited real estate -- Protein Water.

When I was a kid a bottle of Coke was 6-1/2 ounces. Now a bottle or can is 12 ounces, or 16, or 24.
