Comment on Starbuck milkshake is like tobacco

If you only drink water for a few weeks you’ll notice all the hidden sugar and substitutes in your food and beverages. Notice it for what it is, a cheap replacement to flavor.

wdym? i notice them either way. i consume them because i want to taste them. like when i want to taste phosphoric acid and caffeine, i drink coke. if the taste didn’t matter, i wouldn’t go through the hassle of getting tgem and just drink tap water and eat plain toast or rice.

It’s a lot more obvious if you’re not consuming foods and beverages with added sugar. If you go long enough, sodas taste disgustingly sweet.

I stopped drinking soda for 4 months and when I started again I liked it just as much as before, it was sweet but not disgustingly so. Everyone has their own threshold.

Not at Starbucks. I mean, you can customize your order and ask them to tone it down on the additives, but if you just order off their menu, you either get a black coffee or (I like how OP said it) a milkshake.

I don’t see how that has any relevance to my comment.

Not for me. I only consume coke every once in a while. I sometimes go for months drinking only water, black coffee and the occasional beer, yet I still enjoy Coke.
