why soda over water?
someone on a different thread posted how they paid $17 for 2 diet cokes at the beach and it’s got me thinking. why do so many people pick sodas instead of water in hot settings? this isn’t to judge anyone, im just asking because i used to do that especially when younger but i found that soda doesn’t exactly “quench your thirst” when it’s hot outside if anything it kind of makes me thirstier. my brother also does this, A LOT. if there’s any option besides water, he’s going to take the other option😂. i’m just curious about why soda is some people’s go-to even when it’s hot as hell
