I know quite a few people who have serious Coke addictions. They will simply refuse to drink any other brand and they go through Trumpian levels of the stuff daily. I don’t know what it is about this particular brand. I’ve never met an RC head, but Coke heads are a dime a dozen, unlike the ten bucks a dozen their drug of choice charges.
Does it? Mountain dew has like 50-60mg of caffeine per 12 oz can, where an average 8oz cup of coffee can have somewhere in the 75-100mg range. A standard double shot espresso drink will have anywhere from 75-150mg.
Also, I don’t think the caffeine content is the thing to worry about at any rate, I’m more concerned with the 46g of sugar per can.
I used to be like that. Drank 4 litres a day. Thankfully I got sick of feeling like shit all the time because of it and switched to just drinking water.
I stopped drinking soda years ago, but I never actively chose to do so. Somehow, it just happened. Definitely to my benefit, but I’ve long been perplexed how it happened.
The CFO, who originally manufactured the tax dodge and got a bonus for doing so, will now have to work out a “restructuring” strategy (IE, cut wages and layoffs) to cover for the increased tax burden… Which will earn them another bonus.
They’ll just…raise prices to offset the judgment.
And lots of people will stop drinking it because of that, and they will be healthier thanks to it.

That’s a great way to start a paragraph
I’ve known pepsi addicts.

Touche
I never got into that in my teen years because we had Jolt Cola - branded as “all the sugar and twice the caffeine”
Edit: Now I wonder if people were going into bars back then and ordering a Jack and Jolt, thereby far preceding the Red Bull and vodka.

Fwiw… Mt Dew Zero has 68mg/12oz. I think regular and diet are 55ish.

Uff that used to be me. I went cold turkey for about 4 month of just drinking water. It then made me realize how coke isn’t even good.

Lol doubt.
And cut wages at the bottom end of the employment ladder, gotta safeguard that C-suite bonus

Edit: I don’t know that any of this is true
we must never take any action against companies they’ll just raise prices or leave the country or fire everyone or or or or or
If they really have you so much by the balls then they’re a threat and need to be taken down
Keep going, I’m listening.
All my comment was saying is that this is a toothless judgment.
Getting 16 billion in back taxes isn’t toothless… It’s making them pay their fair share…
Toothless would be if there was no way to force them to pay.
it’s better than nothing, and Coke has competitors that aren’t getting fined, so their hands are somewhat tied
By less than the profit that was taxed, because elasticity exists.
