a new weapon in my war on sugary drinks

Mar 15, 2017 18:42

I've discovered that those flavored (but unsweetened) carbonated water drinks are not too bad. I think a considerable part of what I've been craving is the bubbles. Not all--I still miss the sweetness of soda--but these help.

I haven't tried stevia-sweetened soda yet but I might at some point. I feel like I ought to try to push through the sweet craving so that I just stop wanting soda at all, but that could just be puritanism.

It's interesting how much more expensive the water things are than mainstream sodas, which here in the US are often on sale extremely cheap (like, $12 for three twelve-packs) in supermarkets. Apparently soda sales are falling in the US, and the manufacturers desperately want their market share back.
