What people don’t talk enough about the cup trend is that people aren’t even drinking water out of them. The new thing is to gaslight yourself into thinking you’re drinking water by mixing high fructose corn syrup drink mix into their water. It’s chemically different but somehow people think they’re doing their bodies a favor by drinking soda 60oz at a time.
Where are people getting HFCS drink mixes? Are you talking about the sodastream type bottles of mix? I only ever see people with the artificially sweetened tiny squirt bottles of flavoring. Which, healthy or not is up for debate but they’ve gotta be better than 150% of your sugar for the day in liquid form from HFCS/soda (in whatever container).
No, they use artificially sweetened syrups that have “0 calories” to make flavored and colored “water”. Some will violently defend that it is still water because there aren’t any calories. Even though they added all the flavors, colors, and sweeteners, just no carbonation. Basically flat coke zero but in tons of schizophrenic flavor name and neon color combos. It’s a weird world of cope.
Be thankful my comment is the only level of awareness you’ll be about this. Do not look into this deeper, there is nothing good to be found. Forget this and return to your life. This will be your only warning.
Ya know some people just don’t like drinking something “flavorless” 24/7…
While it may not be as “healthy” as drinking just water, it’s like 98-99% water, and as you said, it’s zero calories so it’s far better for you than soda and fruit juice which has a fuckload of sugar/HFCS in it.
Seriously as an American, I don’t know a single person who doesn’t drink some type of tea.
Y’all can keep downvoting, but iced tea and sweet tea are both hugely important cultural drinks in the United States, so implying that Americans haven’t heard of tea is just wrong.
Their point is *water is healthy because it doesn’t contain any additives". Then the Brit popped in with the Tea idea and they put far less sugar in their tea, if they put any in.
Us 'Muricans need ten pounds of sugar in everything in order for it to be palatable, so a Sweet Tea and store bought teas are loaded with sugar/HFCS.

People fill those Stanley cups with pop?

It looks like HydroHomies is leaking…
An ancient secret: Tea.
Mericans be weird.
I like tea, but I can’t see myself drinking like a gallon of hot tea a day, cold brewed is generally bitter.
Imagine thinking you are superior because you said the word tea, as if tea isn’t a famously high profile drink in the United States.

Protip: Ice makes any water taste better

But then you have to make ice all the time!
Okay. Drink your literal copium.
I mean, that’s hardly new. Crystal light and the like have been around for a good while.
i thought they were sugar-free water flavors
“sugar free water flavors” is just a nice way of saying “artificially sweetened juice”
I think Burt Kreischer is kinda hacky but this comes to mind often when I see huge water bottles:
