Drink it & tell everybody that it's so much better than that HFCS poison crap that everybody drinks

And then, while you're riding high on your new-found cloud of smug righteousness, buy a Mac and tell everybody about that, too.

Funny thing #1: Coke with "real" sugar isn't actually that much different from Coke with HFCS. Certainly it's no less "syrupy."

Funny thing #2: The more often you point out the above fact, the louder the apologists will howl.


1). "Drink it & tell everybody that it's so much better than that HFCS poison crap that everybody drinks"

No idea who this is addressed to, but since you're responding to my original post, I'm assuming you're addressing it to me. Read my original motherfucking post. I saw this stuff in a store and my client sells it and I was curious. I asked DU what they thought. Your basic self-loathing and disdain for your fellow DUers led you to turn this into a "superiority" contest. No one here is interested in being "superior." We're talking about which fucking soft drink tastes better. Sorry the deep intellectualism of the conversation was more than you could handle.

2). "And then, while you're riding high on your new-found cloud of smug righteousness, buy a Mac and tell everybody about that, too. "

I'm riding "riding high on your new-found cloud of smug righteousness?" No, I have a message for you, and the horse you rode in on. How the fuck do you think you're going to get away with calling me "smug" and "self-righteous" when you don't even fucking know me? And what's with the projection? Seems like you might want to work on those areas in your own life.

3). "Funny thing #2: The more often you point out the above fact, the louder the apologists will howl."

Well, you have me there, that's funny. Really, really funny. Just like you, Orrex. I had you on ignore on DU 2 and after this post I see you belong there on DU3 as well. Goodnight.
