Reminder: Pat drank Mountain Dew every day for 20 years lol

It's gross. The colour alone is a warning, like a toadstool mushroom, "do not consume me, nothing this brightly coloured should be ingested by humans."

I'm proud that my 6 year old son is a weird kid who pretty much only drinks water. He'll drink chocolate milk sometimes but doesn't like juice or soft drinks at all. His face when he tried Coke. He winced like most kids would if they drank lemon juice and just said "it's sweet," like it was a bad thing. Which is weird because he likes chocolate and candy as much as the next kid, just won't fuck with sugary drinks.

I hope your son keeps that habit up! Soda sucks as a habitual drink, and they aim their marketing squarely at kids and young adults. Sounds like your son has a more sophisticated palate than many young adults, and that’s a very good thing.

I hope so too but don't know about sophisticated palate! The boy likes like 10 foods. Pasta with pesto, chicken nuggets, eggs, bread, rice, meat, pizza, fries etc. Zero fruits, practically no vegetables. Sure he's only 6, not 36 like Sam Roberts, but it's starting to freak out my wife.

Edit - no one cares

People may have different opinions - diet's always a contentious thing - but vegetables are not essential to humans, and while fruit is beneficial for detoxing and a burst of energy, it's also not essential. Kids already have energy, so they don't need it if they don't like it.

As long as your boy likes meat and eggs, he'll be fine. He likes pizza, pasta, bread, rice and fries because everyone loves carbs. It's not ideal, but it's natural. Kids and teens can process complex carbs and shit and use the calories to build themselves.

tl;dr vegetables are a food for fasting, not for growth. If he's not into sugary drinks and doesn't like fruit, that means he's not addicted to sugar. He sounds healthy!

Damn, how much did you have a day?

One 20oz bottle typically. I’ll still get one every now and then, maybe once every 4-6 weeks when I get a hankering.

 

[guest]

Sure he's only 6

Is he single? I like long walks in the woods and photography.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Yeah, it’s poison but I’ve still never cracked 190 pounds so I’m doing ok.

My one buddy is in good shape and I never see the fucker drink anything but Dr. Pepper and coffee. But he also doesn't lay on his couch under a pink blanket all day.

My daughters will only drink Coke Zero or Pepsi Max. Can’t drink the regular versions of either. The only full-sugar type soft drinks they’ll have are the Japanese versions of Fanta or another Japanese drink called CC Lemon when we’re over there. Otherwise it’s ice tea or soda water.

If Uncle Paul even looked at my boy the wrong way I would smash his face into that brick wall until it was hamburger meat. Theoretically and allegedly.

If you ever feel like ruining Fanta for them you can bring up their troubling Nazi past. Hitler looking out for your kids' health from beyond the grave, what a guy!

Wow, first the Volkswagen Beetle, then the V1 rocket, and now Fanta! What couldn't Hitler do?

six million...

Oh, right.

 

[UnPRePared]

Cutting out sugar long term has made any soft drink just impossible to drink now.

Chug black coffee like a real man, you Peter Pan-wannabe.

Yellow 5, nigga

That should be the new nickname for country bumpkin Patrick's teeth - The Yellow 5

Back in the 90s they marketed Mountain Dew as the "cool extreme" soft drink. Skaters would take a swig of Mountain Dew before heading down the half-pipe or do a sick snowboard stunt. No doubt that Mr. Easily Influenced would decide the "cool" soda needs to be part of his "brand".

Look - kids fall for retarded marketing gimmicks, I bought a few cans of Axe Deodorant thinking it would make hot bitches fling themselves at me because I'd smell so irresistible. But eventually you realize they bamboozled you and stop being so damn loyal to the brand. Not Rick though, he'll spend 20 straight years drinking the cool popular boy soda.

Not that it's surprising but in this psychology textbook I have they found that narcissists are more brand orientated and less interested in products with good utility. It's probably why big brands always target social media influencers and youtubers.

Explains a lot about Not Rick, I’ve never seen someone so obsessed with making sure everyone knowing he drives a mustang. It’s like the SNL skit of Will Ferrell yelling I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!

In the summer, if I'm not working, I'm in shorts and don't bother with underwear. Not a hammer cock thing, just less sweaty and more comfortable. I also like sweetcorn on the cob, boiled and rubbed in butter and sprinkled with salt.

Fat is so unlikeable that he's made me question whether I should go underwear free in the hotter months or occasionally enjoy corn on the cob, simply because he does them too. He makes seemingly innocuous things unappealing.

Same. If I'm home and it's hot out. Gym shorts and no underwear. If I run to the store for something I put on pants and underwear.

Ones I remember were that those candy "Nerds" had a batch filled with glass and some kid had shredded his mouth to pieces after chuckling half the pack down. Don't swim an hour after eating or you'll drown. My personal favourite, always check the ingredients on everything, if it has the E number E123 on it, don't eat it because it will kill you instantly.

Yellow #5 shrunk your penis

Shit. Should have read the whole thread before responding

This is where you and I part company.
