Soda really is something—I drank plenty as a kid, but I kind of soured on it after an interactive exercise in a college class, where we each guessed the amount of sugar in a can of soda, scooped the sugar into a glass, and then were shown the actual amount. In seeing that, I realized I would simply never put that much sugar in anything on my own, if I were sweetening a drink rather than buying something pre-sweetened.

I've always done the diet sodas (Coke or Pepsi, whatever's cheaper), but I'm sure there's a lot of extra sugar in all the crap I was getting at Taco Bell.

I also had a habit of doing a small splash of sugary soda, with with the remaining ~95% as diet, which in a vacuum is probably medically insignificant but I think it was enough to keep sugar cravings going.

A decade ago, I saw an image that showed the amount of table sugar in a can of Coke and I haven't willingly drank one since.
