My last roommate drank like 3L coke everyday. He literally replaced his water consumption with coke. And that mf had audacity to call me out on how little i drink
There is a town in Mexico where people drink like 1.5 litres of Coke a day. Coke is cheaper there than water and a decent percentage of the town works in a Coke factory nearby. Most people there aren't aware of the health risks so they decide to drink it over the more expensive less flavorful water. It's also used in doctor practices. Not real ones, I forgot what they're called but like the old people who say they can cure cancer by feeding you leaf soup. I forgot the name of the town but you can probably find it if you search up "Mexican Coca Cola town" or something.
Fun fact about Norway: we are the country that drinks the most Pepsi max. Not per capita, in total. Normal soft drinks with sugar aren’t that popular tho
In my family we only drink soft drink on occasion. Primarily water then tea, and I know a lot of others like that. Which means there has to be some serious soda drinks here in the states
As someone who has lived in Saudi Arabia for 2/3 of my life I can confirm that we’re always drinking something cold😂😂(except the dads they always drink tea every day in the scorching heat like what😭😭)
I drink maybe 1 to 2 cans of pop (soda) in a week. Some weeks i don't have any. (I mean the normal size sugar free ones). I drink more squash (concentrated fruit juices that you dilute in water , UK), coffee or tea. UK also has a sugar tax and shrinkflation. Xx
@@_honeymilkboba_ I’m not sure but expect to pay like 2-3$ for the smallest can of soda in the store, candy is also very expensive and energy drink is just sad how much it costs
i think being in the UK makes us look lower, because up here in scotland most people i know drink a lot of soda, though in recent years we drink the diet and max pepsi (coke isnt all that commonly bought, and the local brand barrs has basically died off a cliff since the sugar tax because now it doesn't taste as good) Like i would estimate even with inflation its close to like 100 litre
Yeah your government is just straight up scamming you guys. Nothing like making the poor as poor as humanly possible.. Canada drinks half the soda as you and it's only 1.18 CAD for a 2L of store brand soda
Yeah there’s fiends here in the US that lack self control lol I’ve been an alcoholic living sober and when people freak out over not having their carbonated sugar I am like “oh honey, you think that’s bad??” 😂 I also only drink like 1 coca cola, mountain dew, or sprite every few days. I just drink water now with my food. Or a cold tea.
In the U.S. here. Got told that if I didn't change my habits I would be diabetic soon. Not even soda though. Just southern sweet tea with considerably less sugar than soda. Went to Splenda, and diet soda and I've been dropping about 1 lbs a day since I started.
My entire family won't drink more then 2 liters a year it's very rare to buy those drink unless it is very hot and we don't have water.... something to feel good about myself 😊
YEEEEEESSSSS!!!! FINAALLYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! YOU ADDED CHILEEEEE!! !!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!! YOU ARE OFFICIALLY THE BEST RU-vidR IN RXISTENCE
I’m an American and I switched from soda to just water years ago. Occasionally, I’ll drink diet soda or sugar-free carbonated water, but I try to avoid that, too, because of the additives that are used to make it sugar-free.
@@_F_F_F_F_F_F_, that's just money grabbing, "fOr YoUr SaFetY". Let's see if anything changed in the consumption. If it didn't, than, the tax doesn't work and should be removed.
Buddy, you don't know much about American dialects do you? Phrases and terms vary state to state with different regional accents to boot. Plus how many states are the size of actual countries, y'all should remember that and remember that the US is a melting pot of a tons of different cultures and language has developed specifically in various places and words and phrases took hold with different roots for words in different places.
Bruh there are a lot of people in the U.S that i know that literally only drink like water and then if not that then only small amounts of soda, that really says a lot about the people who do consume these things on a regular bases.
In Norway, we drink so much pepsi max that on a norwigian show, called Luksusfellen, pepsi max is always a major factor in why you're going poor. (The show is about helping people who are struggling financially).
The argument could be made that despite their drinking of pop: A) do they have access to other things to drink like clean drinking water? B) despite their consumption, how active are the people? Because we have people who eat excessive amounts of bacon, processed foods but live long lives and aren't obese.
Shorts like these that use averages incorrectly are a great way to educate the masses in why the range is important to know as well as the average. Just because X country drinks Y amount of soda on average, doesn't mean every single person actually drinks that much soda. It just means that country has more being drunk by some people than others to a point where that becomes the average between them. (I really shouldn't have to explain that kind of thing either. You all should have learned this in your first years of school of any sort in almost any country.)
I’m American, and I used to drink soft drinks. I drink soda maybe here and there but only on special occasions or parties now. Really, cutting soda out of my diet was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. Soda is empty carbs and empty calories. So once I stopped drinking it, I lost weight, and I was feeling a lot better about myself. Not saying I’m the skinniest or healthiest person ever, but it made me happy because I cut something off that was useless and unhealthy. 🤷🏽♀️
The consumption volume of soft drinks was about seven billion liters in India in 2023. There was a gradual increase in the consumption volume from 2020. The volume is forecasted to increase to about 7.82 billion liters by 2027.29
Malaysian especially on the northern part drinks 1.5 litres at least, per day.. with a catch, soda is use alongside bitter energy herb. There is no day we can skip this, per year? 400L or more
I'm not too surprised that Saudi Arabia was on the list. From what I heard, Islam forbids people from consuming alcohol, so soft drinks, water, and juice are pretty much the best options.
I know soda has a bad reputation these days, but when you make it yourself you can control the sugar content. And other ingredients as well. I highly recommend brewing your own soda if you can afford to! It also tastes better that way I think
I unfortunately lived in suburbia for a while and yeah they love drinking soda for every meal and in between meals, to hydrate at six flags, 99c for a 42oz at a lot of gas stations
I myself get about 15-50L of soda a year and that's a lot at least within my county (bigger than a city smaller than a state) that and If I'm not Mistaken every State besides 2? Have a Soda Tax of either 5 cents or 10 that you get back apon returning the bottles which alot of people still throw on the side of the road to be picked up for someone else cash
Some additional fun facts: in Norway diet soda is now more popular than classic sugar soda (and it was 111 liters in 2022, where 62 liters was diet soda); and although we don't have a soda tax we do have a sugar tax.
Ok i think its about how many soda bottles you buy so here in Norway you get some cash if you return a bottle so thats maybe the reason we buy so much soda
We need a pop tax in the US. Direct application with the purchase. When asked why, explanations and a pamphlet ought to accompany each drink. That might help. There’s so much ignorance of the harm caused by drinking more than 6 oz once a week!
What i feel with soda is that if i drink it once, i tend to drink regularly for sometime, but if i don't i will not even think about it. Now I never drink it and it's feels better.
Oops. Diet soda kills gut flora which messes up several processes ( including brain function). And the carbonation pulls minerals from bones. So it's better in one way, but still should be only once in a while.
Just keep in mind that the poor you are the more likely you are to drink soda at a higher volume. You can speculate whatever reason you want, but in the end a soda tax only affects poor people more
In America the problem with sugary drinks is not up to the Federal government, it is left up to the states or cities. For example, Philadelphia has a tax on any sugary beverage, not just soda.
