Have to think GLP1s are having an impact, too.

Stocks like Victoria's Secret are going up because people are getting skinnier and can wear that stuff again

Skyrocketing healthcare cost and we were buying sugary soft drinks for people unable to pay for their own healthcare.

How about get rid of SNAP. If you don’t work you don’t eat. Plain and simple. Get rid of all illegals and that opens up jobs for everyone abusing the system.

Yea, there is plenty that can be done around communities by people who don't work. You want free food and dont have a job? Come pick up trash at the park. It's not that difficult.

Soda in excess amounts has long been known
to have negative health effects. MAHA didnt reveal anything new If the SNAP policy changes have a positive health effect, great.
In the meantime, we should be vaccinating children against preventable
diseases…

I have kept a semi-eye on Coke sales since they had that "don't be so White" eff up.. The last couple months they have had decent sales on Coke... 24 pack of Coke goes for anywhere from $10 to $12... I have seen a 6 pack of 16oz bottles go for $3.00.. The price for 2 liters has gone up .50... I think they are seeing the error of their ways...

Some rough math

If they are referring to total soda consumption that amounts to a 1.2 Billion gallon reduction per year in the US. That is incredible.

80% of that has sugar. 40 grams of sugar per 12 ounces.

Comes out to around 900k lbs of sugar.

To believe that this is due to snap waivers alone you'd have to be a moron. It looks like MAGA really knows their audience.

Have a friend that works for Coke-a-Cola and his nephew works for Pepsi.

They both were saying last week how their bosses are riding their asses and all they do is stock shelves and drink coolers.

Gotta boost those rookie numbers at $10/12pack

I remember when GatorAid came out for hot weather activites. I didn't like it so I stuck with the cold water. Then I found out G.A. is full of sugar and increases dehydration in hot weather activities.

Probably has more affect on soda sales, but not giving them out for free is amazing

You'd think a self proclaimed voice of reason would know that even RFK officially recommends 11 childhood vaccines.

Who knew that this was the way to get all of this garbage out vs charging extra tax on large sodas?

Amazing isn't it?
