i like diet soda a lot, I can drink a few liters of it at a time, it's fun

Would America agree to a sugar tax? I reckon it would solve the debt its in.

We live in day and age where decent water costs more than decent soda.

It's just tap water with flavour and sugar, it's cheaper than making actual bottled water

Some states have tried it but mostly liberal ones.

>small
>700 ml
i refuse to believe this

user...

Why do Europeans hate their countries so much that they allow brown people to flood them?

we shot a bunch of british last time it was deliberately tried

or just stop giving 4 billion dollars a year to Israel for no reason

unironically whiter than you jim

Soda is kino

its tasty

You did the same except first.

Not really seeing a downside so I say we do it again.

It makes it easier to shove burgers down your gullet for some reason. I can house 10 burgers with a liter cola, but only 2 or 3 with a glass of water.

No. NY tried it and it got repealed. Seattle has one now and everyone hates it. Its complete bullshit. Also OP's picture is dishonest. In the US different locations and businesses have different sizes. If you got to a gas station or movie theater you will get ridiculously large cups, but at a normal restraunt or fast food join you'll get pretty standard 12, 16, and 20 oz cup sizes (350, 480, 600ml)

I never understood why the fuck retards complain about getting more for their money

i haven't eaten McDonalds since i quit drinking years ago but the small cups were around the size of the left one

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

I don't understand how people can drink something while eating, that's disgusting. When I have a burger for example, or heck even 4, I will eat the burgers first before even touching my beverage, and if you're thinking, what if your mouth gets dry from eating, well you dumbfuck retard, then you're eating too fast, the mouth has this magical substance called fucking saliva that keeps the food you're eating moist and digests it before it enters the stomach for further digestion, this also helps in terms of weight loss coz it makes you feel more satiated. Fucking retarded ameritards be eating a burger, they take a bite and immediately slurp at their cola to wash it down, they continue to do this for the duration of the meal. Fucking retards. This is why they are fat and this is why they need bigger cup sizes, real first world countries have better eating habits

half of it is ice

1) Those Americans weren't porn addicted vidya playing cuckoldz like modern Americans are
2) Those Americans were actually white, not mutts and nigger whites like Irish and Italians and slavs.

Don't Tread On Me now means please don't tread on my bulginf processed food sugary soda filled belly sir.

a while ago burger king upped their sizes. they got rid of the small, made the medium the new small, etc etc. but the prices didn't get more expensive. I don't get it
sometimes they don't give you a small value meal either. just medium or large. even if you don't want that much soda they give it to you

>punish poor people for being stupid and fat

Why though? How about we punish the businesses that are destroying our planet?

the cups are that size because we put ice in our drinks unlike you nigger faggots

Honestly, I don't really know. I don't drink soda, and not as some health thing or to try and be the guy who says "LOOK AT ME I DONT DRINK SODA!" but because I just really don't feel quenched by it. When I'm thirsty I drink a shitload of water and nothing is quite like a big giant glass of water when you're thirsty on a hot day especially to get you hydrated and feeling better. I don't get the appeal. Like sure, sugary stuff can be alright but sodas are like drinking a pixie stick, it's fucking nutty to me.

>doesn't understand pairing food with drink
you are unironically not from a first world country

Jesus Christ, I knew Australia was an impoverished country but I didn't know it was this bad.

I stopped drinking soda for the last 30 days. Feels pretty good mayne.

Also we drink boatloads of it because it's cheap af, comes with 90% of combos and is addictive because of the copious amounts of sugar pumped in.

Abdul, Hassan, stop raping kids.

we have the most money so we can afford to be fat

McDonald's Coke is so perfect I wish they sold it by the gallon.

The only kino fast food beverage is CFA Lemonade

Keeps us wary in case our own country wants to sell us out and replace us with millions of muslims.

Holy kek, my sides

Americans have bad eating habits

having a nice fresh sodiepop is great
I've started to do that water shit that's all bubbly and stuff in stead so I don't get fat

you didn't make a point you retard you were sperging out because people drink while eating

i agree with that

Wew, take off your triggered glasses and try again snowflake

Worse than beans on toast?

>i can't drink while eating food

Wtf is wrong with you? I always drink water with food. It actually helps your digestive system you goddamn alien.

It's because soda is practically free for them, it's super cheap. So they can sacrifice a couple pennies by selling bigger jugs of soda, and if it sways a couple people into going there for big soda (plus other stuff) instead of a competitor, then that's a win for them.

No need to be butthurt about it, blame your parents for teaching you wrong
That's not an eating habit, that's a delicatessen

>why doesn't america oppress their people?

A decent hamburger won't dry your mouth out, especially if steamed.

To answer OP's question: America

My mistake.

>third-worlder jealous of their lack of food

why are eurotards so scared of carbonated sugar water?

What is up with /int/ constantly making threads about americans?
And the funny thing is that they whine when people mock them for it, forgetting that actual free speech only exists in first-world countries.

Lack of a 4channel.co.uk.

Because in America if you're poor you have no representation in government and are treated as a disposable livestock because of our freedoms.

I envy you and your nutty homogenous gold

16 ounces is actually 473 ml and you fucks really need to learn how to drink some beer.

Americans drink plenty of beer.

Another strawman, how refreshing, I'm talking about soda, the topic of this thread, also, drinking water AFTER eating is patrician, drinking DURING is third world shithole tier

The real question is why do we pump so much corn syrup into our shit? Mexican coke is the shit because they actually use cane sugar.

Attached: mexicancoke.jpg (600x453, 52K)

because you guys produce corn syrup out the ass

Cheaper or something. Who the fuck cares, it's all about money anyway

Same I don't even bother serving myself a drink until after i've finished the meal.

I miss when medium was actually a good deal.

We have throwback sodas now that use real sugar. They actually suck and go flat in an instance.

see I live in Texas and Mexican supermarkets sell the real stuff.

Because of our huge corn subsidies making corn products cheap as fuck.
I wish sugar cane got more of that money, we'd probably be better off.

I hear this shit all the time. Has a blind taste test ever been conducted to actually confirm this shit or is just some shit people still like to believe

USA already has a "sugar tax", the price of sugar is held far above its market value by protectionist tariffs. That's why soft drinks in the USA aren't made with sugar, they're made with high fructose corn syrup.

Nah bruh you can definitely taste the difference. Once you go mexican, you can't go back.

Soda is profitable and addictive and Americans are profit livestock. It's simple.

Shit I just remembered I forgot to renew my soda license.

It only matters if you're a soda junkie. If you aren't then Coke tastes like nasty medicinal shit regardless of the sweetener in it.

I'm the complete opposite, unless it's a snack food, I gotta have something to wash it down.

reminder processed sugar is bad for you

reminder artificial sweeteners in diet sodas contribute to diabetes

reminder fruit juice is only marginally better and still very bad for you

holy fuck just drink water like the rest of the world you dumbass americans

> This message brought to you from cuckland.

Corn syrup and caffeine is addictive. Not making any excuses. Anyone should be able to stop. It's not like stopping heroin or anything. You'll just potentially be cranky and groggy due to less caffeine until your body gets used to not having that poison in your veins. I drink 1-3~ 12 oz a day. I know it's pathetic and I am trying to work on it. Most of the time I don't even drink any water. I'm 27 and amazed I have not had to pass kidney stones.

WOW NICE TELEVISION AND FILM DISCUSSION MONGOLOIDS

Only regular and large combos

>MONGOLOIDS
That's /pol/. It refers to a few groups of people and you use it as an insult. Dat raciss.

fuck the mouthbreathing sugar chugging retards seething at you. i agree with you, anyone who needs to have something to drink with fast food is a fucking unevolved mongoloid. subhuman filth, the lot of them

half of the cup is ice. i know you euros dont put ice in drinks because reasons about freezers or some bs, but in america, we like frosty drinks

>4 billion
literal drop in the bucket
>In fiscal year 2015, military spending is projected to account for 54 percent of all federal discretionary spending, a total of $598.5 billion.
On average, more than half of the United States discretionary budget is on it's military and defense, so half a trillion dollars a year on average. If you want to cut the budget, start there, or better yet, start on the 1.5 trillion dollar fighter jets by Lockheed Martin
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II
the cost overruns on that shit were absurd

Surely they put ice in the soft drink at a fast food joint, right?
If you're memeing you got me, I've never had foreign fast food soft drink, just kebab and beer.

Protip: Buy all of the Yellow capped Coke right now because it's the kosher for Passover stuff, meaning it has real sugar.

Everybody always wants to cut discretionary spending but they forget that so-called "mandatory" spending, i.e. welfare programs, make up 2/3 of the annual budget.

>mfw Americans only get real sugar when their semite masters allow them to

You mean "pop"?

Why is fountain soda so much better than canned or bottled?

We put ice in you daft twat. Just admit you're disgusting gluttons.

>mexican style coke isnt avaliable literally everywhere
'mexican' style is just coke with real sugar, you dummys, i live in washington state near the canadian border, and my walmart sells it

Some places tried it, doesn't really work.

This is rare. They can never get their carbonation or syrup ratios right so you always end up with flat soda no matter what you do. Also, soda tastes best out of a can.

So when is the cutoff date where memeing becomes an arrestable offense for you guys?

explain room temperature beer then

It's part and parcel.
