If you forward them your banking information, you get the other half of the can, along with $20,000,000.

Which plant were you in and where? I have been in two different FEMSA plants, one in Mexico and one in Argentina. Both were spotless. Just wondering where this "extremely dirty" plant was located.

Mexican soda,Mexican beer,Mexican food,Mexican women,YUM!!!!
People still drink soda? I really notice it down south and in the Islands, I also notice peoples teeth are also shot. The worst is Mountain Dew it pretty much is battery acid for your poor teeth.
I can't remember the last time I had a soda that was not a part of a mixed drink.
You would be better off drinking a beer.

I drink plenty of soda, still have all my teeth, no cavities, minimal decay, healthy pink soft gums.
Poor genetics can not be fixed.

Interesting you mentioned this.
I bought a 12 pack of Pepsi Made With Real Sugar a couple of weeks ago (also known in the recent past as Throwback) and it tasted like it was actually tonic water or quinine water of tom collins mixer.
Very strange the taste wasn't overpowering but it still was there compared to what the product normally tastes like.
I have the old cans I wonder if I should contact PepsiCo?

I switched to seltzer or water. I've lost my sweet tooth as I have aged. I drink coffee and tea black now too.
What a great example of marketing. Corn syrup, brown water and fizz. On top of that people pay for it and actually drink it. Amazing. At least it appears that this stuff mixes okay with food and water. If there are side effects they are not so immediate that they interfere with the cash flow. Again, great marketing because people are following instructions.

Certainly, but soda has been around a very long time. The real sucker markets are for the energy drinks and bottled water.

Its interesting seeing various people say their either do or do not consume pop. (Or "soda" according to all the weird folk.)
We sure sell a lot of it at work. Most people buy 3+ cases per week. We have guys from the major companies stocking the shelves every morning. Lots of money being had from just corn syrup and fizz. Alcohol sales are through the roof too.
I personally don't drink the stuff either. I basically just drink water, but my treat beverage is normally an IPA. I love beer, but I could never let myself spend $15-$30+ a week on it.

I think the sales of soda, correlates with the rise of diabetes. Imo even the artificially sweetened sodas are not good for you especially aspartame. I have a soda every now and then, not a diet soda. I don't drink more than 2 soft drinks a month.

Energy drinks most likely, but bottled water? First of all, most people that buy it have poor water at home. Secondly, I can buy a store brand 32 pack of bottled water for under $3. Folks pay that for a 12 pack of Coke on sale here in the US.

It's actually "pop" here, too.
With respect to water, this is one issue upon which I agree with David Suzuki. If I cannot drink the water from my tap with any confidence, I should be raising holy heck with the municipal authorities. Yes, bottled water can be found at a reasonable price on special. It's not always "better" than anything coming from a tap, either, and sometimes is the same thing, and sometimes even worse.
A good deal is one thing, but the ones who get "nailed" as suckers are those buying them for $1.50 and up in a convenience store. And you know they sell a lot of water. That's not the same thing as buying a flat of it from Costco for a camping trip or for emergencies.

Given all of the health issues associated with soda (or pop), I'm baffled why anyone would ever consume it. From the odd fat deposits on the liver of soda drinkers, abnormally high obesity and diabetes rates, and the chemical soup that soda is made up of, it's safe to say that soda has no place in our home whatsoever.

Genetics have nothing to do with it. Dentists have a nickname for what soda does to teeth, it's called "mountain dew mouth".
And by the way-I drink no soda whatsoever and never have. And I have no tooth decay, even at 70 years old.

You do realize that you WILL eventually die...right? And....many folks that do NOTHING to take care of themselves WILL outlive you, right?
You seem to spend an awfully good portion of your posts condemning what others consume....while boasting about your own supposed virtues. 70 years old and you still can't just kick back and allow people to do what they choose?
Just my observation...may you live to be 100.

Genetics most have a lot to do with overall health including dental. Sir do you have a issue with reading and comprehension?
