    What people don’t talk enough about the cup trend is that people aren’t even drinking water out of them. The new thing is to gaslight yourself into thinking you’re drinking water by mixing high fructose corn syrup drink mix into their water. It’s chemically different but somehow people think they’re doing their bodies a favor by drinking soda 60oz at a time.

      Where are people getting HFCS drink mixes? Are you talking about the sodastream type bottles of mix? I only ever see people with the artificially sweetened tiny squirt bottles of flavoring. Which, healthy or not is up for debate but they’ve gotta be better than 150% of your sugar for the day in liquid form from HFCS/soda (in whatever container).

        “sugar free water flavors” is just a nice way of saying “artificially sweetened juice”
