    Huge international company: invents extremely addictive and delicious drink, pours billions into advertising campaigns and lobbies for decades.

    The public: gets addicted as they literally grew up on it

    The media: YoU nEeD tO dO bEtTeR!

    Maybe the government can stop guzzling corporate assholes and start passing laws against advertising and lobbying for things that are massively detrimental to the public?

    Like, I’m all for sugary drinks existing, but they should be banned from being pushed into our thoughts and definitely shouldn’t be endorsed by any public institution.
