cuz they're fat fucks that's why lmao :D

because they are fat and stupid

>go in grocery store
>see white redneck goobers (dude, his old lady, and their 3 year old-ish kid) with two 20 packs of soda in their cart
How the fuck can an average adult man, adult woman, and a preschool-aged child drink that much soda?

Wow wtf? If you have McDonald's 3 times a day with extra value meals, that's average of 3 litres of Coca Cola. It's a one way ticket to diabetes, no wonder their having trouble with healthcare.

health care is trouble because of inflated healthcare charge not because of mcdonald's

are the cups in OP are real?

Probably because they're lazy fucks that don't want to keep making trips to the grocery store, so they just bought the Coca Cola in bulk.

Would you believe, there are people you talk to who say "Ewww, how can anyone drink water? Disgusting."

Guess what? Soft drinks don't hydrate you, they cause you to lose moisture and become more thirsty, also the sugar and carbonation is pretty bad for you.

America has a 40-50% obesity rate. That's contributive to the high healthcare cost. It's simple economics. Demand>>>Supply.

Whats the point of buying different size drinks if you have free refills?

I personally don't really drink soft drinks.
But,
>what hydrates you?
Water
>what's soft drinks made of?
Water
There soft drinks hydrate you.

Because refills aren't free.

This is a troll, right?

Bro you have to understand, it's difficult for a dude on a fat mobile to drive to the soft drink fountain and refill their cup. They need a bigger cup to reduce the number of trips.

that's right, the taxpayer ends up footing the bill

healthcare is not some rare earth material
the demand supply curve is fake

You're willing to tell me that if the number of Hospitals far outnumber the number of patients, you'll still be paying 500 dollars for a consult. I'll screen cap it.

Yes

t. went to the states once

Actually caffeinated drinks in general cause you to lose moisture. Sugary drinks also leave a sticky coating in your mouth that makes you more thirsty.

I have unironically purchased a total of three (3) of these half gallon KFC Mega Jugs in my life. They even come with a handle on top

Do you buy 7-eleven big gulps as well?

McDonalds once sold a 42 ounce soda cup called the Hugo. Advertisements were directed towards Hispanics and it came under fire for "promoting obesity among minorities".

Isn't Mexico one of the few countries that is fatter than the USA?

Sometimes. Those are only 30oz while the Mega Jug is 64oz

>42 ounce
What the fuck?

Some people live on nothing but soda. Diet sodas are even worse from a health standpoint.

>european "large" so manlet europoors can feel like big boys

JUST

The 300ml one is the small one in Lithuania, the 700ml one is the big one in Lithuania
Now I know why americans are so fat

Yes and it's a relatively recent phenomenon, mostly since NAFTA resulted in the traditional Mexican diet being replaced with processed food.

because they are fat?

I'll fucking break you in half Tojo

>64 oz
How the fuck do you finish that? That shit fills your stomach on its own like a full meal.

and why are they fat?

this

Imagine drinking Coca Cola every time you feel thirsty.

Government subsidized fat and sugar being cheaper than fresh produce and all that.

Be really thirsty. We also don't want to look like European faggos who can't finish anything

>Fat

I'm not even 35% body fat you mother fucker

They'll go through them in a week at least.

Now drink it all the time and that gunk gradually accumulates in your body and poisons it.

so they are fat because they drink fizzy drink, and drink fizzy drink because they are fat?
kind of a chicken egg situation there friend

I don't think it's just a European thing that they can't finish it. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens when you give it to a canadian.

I'm terrified

>people being this retardedly /fit/ obsessed
Being a health nut just prolongs your life and increases the likelihood of you living to 80-90 and shitting yourself in a diaper. Nobody who died at 55 of a heart attack had to worry about that.

True. I should have included the rest of the world's faggos

is it true that american soft drinks are made with corn syrup

why not drink water?

Yea it is a chicken egg situation. >Americans demand Coca Cola
>Market gives it to them
>they like it and crave it for more
>Market gives it to them
Repeat until you get 64 oz Coca Cola.

Sugar addiction, decades of intense publicity brainwashing.

t. 150 pound glob

We don't have much sugarcane because the bulk of the US doesn't have a suitable climate for growing it. Once upon a time we imported a large portion of our sugar supply from Cuba.

Anyway, corn syrup is no better or worse for you than cane sugar, provided you (obviously) don't consume it to excess.

>fizzy drink
It's called pop

It's because evolution hasn't caught up with our modern lifestyles. Humans evolved with the idea that fat and sugar were rare, hard-to-obtain energy foods, not something you had access to constantly.

This

Not "soda"
Not "coke"
Not "fizzy drink"
Not "soft drinks"

It's fucking pop, goddamn hosers.

Most, yes. You can find throwback versions or indie brands that use sugarcane though

No. You have to pay to refill your drink.

>Pop
Absolutely fucking disgusting

>soda
kys

>$10 for a refill

Socialism kills...

>10kr
$1.20. That's expensive

pop sounds like something a seedy old man tries to lure children to his van with

The famous pop and lock.

Fake news. "Fizzy drink" sounds like baby talk.

Pretty much because only upper mid-westerners and fruit-jar Canadians call sodas 'pop'. When I first went to Chicago, I had no idea what they meant when they said, 'You want some pop?' It sounds so stupid.

We don't use dollars you idiot.

How is that expensive? It's much less than buying a new drink.

It is but to get them addicted to it so they'll buy more and become fatasses like Aussies and Yanks.

People don't always eat at the restaurant.

>le aspertame meme

$1.20 for a refill is nuts. A medium size in OP's pic is $1.75 with tax.

>How is that expensive?
Sven, $2. 50 CAD for a refill is fucking outrageous.

>1.65 SGD for a refill
>here it's 1.00 SGD for a refill
What a fucking shithole.

500 ml, which is fucking huge, is 19 SEK.
A refill, regardless of the size, is 1,20 USD or 1,52 CAD.

We also make more money here. Go to Norway and it's going to cost even more.

i have never seen anyone refill at restaurants here. 1 cup is enough and if it runs out you can get chilled water for free

Probably because you have to take out a mortgage to get a refill there.

That's a lot. You have me outraged.

Kek
True story. Don't go to a bar in Helsinki, a small beer costs around 9 euros.

Yeah nah. Every health regulatory agency has concluded it's fine including the EU, NHS and FDA multiple times. Any source claiming it's dangerous is usually an individual doctor or some random organization that isn't even a regulatory body. Keep sucking down your sugary shit and have fun with a cardiovascular disease or diabetes though.

Norway is insane. My pizza in the airport was 25 dollars. fuck me

Like said, 1 cup is more than enough.

Source
cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/aspartame.html

well yeah medium sized cup of coke (0.4l) costs like 2.2e and no refills.

Is it because you ate at the airport? Or is it the same throughout?

>free refills
this still seems like a crazy idea to me. wish we had that ehre

>1 cup is more than enough.
That's not the point Sven.

I don't even get free refills because I only drink the water at a restaurant, but we have them because I get refills with Iced Tea.

Plus drinking too much of sugary drinks is bad for you. Just drink water.

What's the point? Why are you complaining when they're offering refills for half the price of a new drink? A drink that is already fucking huge.

Can't answer that one, but I've heard from Norwegians that it really is that expensive. Such as a beer at a bar costs around $12.

It's ridiculous because the majority of a soft drink's price is from the cup itself. The liquid costs relatively little

maybe in america where everything is overproduced.

>12 dollars
Yo what the fuck. Can't imagine how expensive their Starbucks would be.

The point is you're being robbed. That's expensive for something as trivial as a refill, imagine for a second you are thirsty and it's a hot day out and want you want more than one cup. You gonna pay that $1.50 CAD for a refill? They are trying to take away the option for you. It's the principle of the matter and how they have you defending such a price.

I'm pretty sure manufacturing paper cups is more expensive than brewing liquid in a vat just about anywhere

A cup costs 5cents at most.

Yes I'm going to pay that because that's a fair price and I'm not a poor cuck that can't afford a fucking drink.

>They are trying to take away the option for you.
Nigga how many marijuanas did you inject?

>imagine for a second you are thirsty and it's a hot day out and want you want more than one cup.
>drinking soft drinks for thirst
>not packing water bottles for the purpose of hydrating

then don't get a refill wtf

The memes were right about Swedes, Just willing to roll over and take it in the ass. Many such cases! It's not about the pop it's about the principle.
