* The article describes a guy making sodas from freshly made juice. That changes the entire picture. The headline should be "Making Sodas From Freshly Squeezed Juice (It's Harder Than You Think".
* It's perfectly simple to make natural sodas with cane sugar instead of HFCS — indeed, a lot of smaller soda manufacturers in the US already use cane sugar, including such brands as Fentimans and Jones Soda. In Europe, most sodas, including Coca-Cola, are made with cane sugar, not HFCS.
* You don't have to use fresh-squeezed juice to be "natural". Fentimans, for example, uses spices and fermented juices in their sodas. The original Coca-Cola was a blend of essential oils (lime, orange, coriander, nutmeg etc.), ie. natural ingredients, and it's perfectly feasible to make sodas today using the same ingredients.
No. No one drinks soda. Coca Cola Corporation’s revenue of 40 billion dollars a year is entirely fabricated. It is the next Enron. When you see a person drinking a soda, try touching them. They are a hologram, an attempt by a fading company to convince people of their relevance.
Having substituted all soda with clear water, humanity has entered a new era of peace and prosperity. War is a thing of the past now that Man is hydrated.
Peace reigns over the Earth as fusion powered reactionless spacecraft take to the skies. Our third space colony is prospering and we are on the brink of conquering Death itself.
I had coke that tasted like a swimming pool in Minnesota. I had no reason to suspect it would, so it's not something I was convincing myself of. It came from a machine that used tap water of course, rather than from a bottle or can.
