If it’s not the caffiene content thats the issue are they going to ban all soft drinks if you are under 18?

minus-squareSpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down3·2 years agoCoca cola? probably because they are Coca Cola. Also it’s like 10% sugar. Maybe energy drinks are higher in sugar? Solid things? That involves some effort - chewing - and you are less likely to eat that much sugar as opposed to chugging it down from energy drinks.
minus-squarecrashoverride@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoEnergy drinks have so much shit in it to help give you energy/keep you awake. Coke and other sodas have sugar and caffeine. And I never said that the others got a pass, they’re both bad for you, just one is way fucking worse.
