Do people really even like cola and soda or have the drink corporations forced it down our throats?!
Answers: Coke, pepsi, etc, etc.... are they really just nasty sucky beverages? Has society learned to accept soda and cola because it's been engrained on us? Is coke and pepsi actually any good, or are they just cultural icons? Do they even quench thurst?
Coke and Pepsi are big behemoth corporations, but at the end of they day it's up to the customer to buy it or not. There are plenty of other options available and yet people still buy Coke and Pepsi. Nobody's putting a gun to their head. I'd say it must be because that's what they like.
That being said, it does tick me off when one of these two companies force a venue (stadium, school, street fair, etc.) to sign an exclusive contract so that competitors' products can't be sold there.
just colored, carbonated, sugared water with millions of dollars of adverts to put it in your mind.
I quit that stuff years ago. Why bother with anything that has no nutritional value?
Soda isn't nasty-it just wasn't ever meant to be people's main beverage. It was intended to be a treat, a pick-me-up,not the only liquid that ever passed your lips.
The same thing has happened with coffee in my opinion.
It is nasty. I didn't figure out until I switched to water/some diet pop. I can't drink a full regular soda now. It doesn't taste good and is absolutely loaded with sugar - and NO, it doesn't quench your thirst.
How ironic that you ask - had the first soda in years today because that was all that was around and I thought the same thing while I was drinking it. Don't/won't need another one for years to come. It is, indeed, hipe.
They are disgusting - unfortunately many people are addicted to them - soft drinks are one of the major causes of obesity today.
Definitely forced down our throats! my mum didn't buy it so I grew up wanting it but when I tried it I didn't like it at all far to gassy makes me full of wind awful stuff!
they actually taste good.
