The bigger question for me: Why drink soda at all?

You can't outlaw foolishness, as my cube neighbor Jo-Ellen likes to say. You've likely heard by now of Mayor Bloomberg's grand plan to ban the sale of sweetened drinks (read: soda) over 16 ounces. The reasons are obvious. Soda has zero nutritional value and is high calorie to boot. It's bad for your teeth. It's bad for your skin contributing to everything from acne to wrinkles. It's bad for your wasteline but if you regulary consume it, you probably don't have a wasteline to speak off so don't worry...
