@AutisticInnovator @cwicseolfor Seriously? You drink soda just so you can get enough calories??? Who does that???

@rspfau @AutisticInnovator People with limited appetite or access to soda cheaper than other calories. Not the “healthiest” option but it offers both caffeine and (in the case of colas) phosphoric acid, both of which are pharmaceutically useful when you can’t access other medications for the same need (caffeine helps migraines in some, pain in many, alertness and thus job tenure in most; phosphoric acid is just about the best thing for a badly queasy stomach in my experience.) All things being equal I’d just add fat to the diet for cheap calories, but all things are rarely equal.
