    So fucking gross.

    We just relentlessly market our poison, that comes in highly crafted, invitingly-designed cans, to the whole world.

    Take away the ubiquitous cam design and advertisements and who in their right mind would ever drink a 12oz can of carbonated brown water that has 10 teaspoons of sugar in it after knowing what’s in it, or that it could rot the paint off of a car?

    Sad as fuck that we’ve indoctrinated so many with our corporate garbage and junk food.
