J.D. Vance’s weird, anti-woke punchline fell flat at his own sleepy speaking event on Monday.
Vance held a rally at his former high school in Middletown, Ohio, where hundreds gathered to hear the missives of Donald Trump’s newly-minted vice presidential candidate. But, even as a hometown hero, the Ohio senator suffered some brutally awkward moments.
“It is the weirdest thing to me: Democrats say that it is racist to believe—well, they say it’s racist to do anything,” said Vance. “I had a diet Mountain Dew yesterday, and one today. I’m sure they’re probably gonna call that racist, too.” Around the room there were some scattered laughs.
Fwiw zero tastes a lot better than diet. Not a substitute for the OG but passable if you need to save calories
They may use different sweetener alternatives to sugar, but they all taste the same and leave the same awful aftertaste and feeling in my mouth. Aspartame, suclarose, stevia extract, etc.
I hate it when they use them in juices even more; I would rather have the sugar free version simply not have any added sweeteners at all. I mean, the ones I am thinking about are still actually juice and coconut water, so the sweetness of the juice from its own natural sugars should be enough. Putting in the sugar substitutes just makes it gross.
If it’s not carbonated I can’t stand it. I got a hold of some 0 cal Snapple the other day and my lord that shit was unbearable.
If you need to save calories go with water
It’s a market that shouldn’t exist
That’s obviously the best answer, so much so that I got a soda stream off FB for cheap and I make soda water with it.
My brain is addicted to the carbonated part. Not the syrup. I drink so much more water now that I can carbonate it.
But yeah, for people who are addicted to sugar soda, my point still stands.
As someone that has never had soda my entire life (my parents were normal soda-drinking people, I’m just weird and was never interested in trying it), maybe I don’t know what I’m missing out on, but water is soooo gooood. It’s so refreshing and delicious if you’re thirsty. I don’t comprehend why these drinks even exist.
If you live almost anywhere in America or another developed nation, you get dirt-cheap clean water delivered right to your home constantly, and it’s so great. Why does anyone spend money on garbage that’s going to give them diabetes? And then the people who are sensible enough to try to avoid the diabetes just drink some other garbage and complain about the taste…??
WATER IS DELICIOUS YOU FOOLS
