I was thinking of hanging it on the clothes line but any stray cats around will think I’m feeding them. I’ll have to think about this but, for certain, I’m not doing any more experiments. :-).

I know somebody like this. Sucked down at least 5-6 of the 64 oz. Big Gulp size Cokes every day just while at work. And none of the Diet stuff either. Always complaining of headaches. Can we say “caffeine addiction headaches?” Yup. A type-2 diabetic, to boot. Until last year, this person got quite the wake-up call. Had a stroke. Fortunately, it was mild, but not the same person any more. Never fully recovered. Stopped doing the coke for a couple of months, then right back to it.

I checked my math a bit more carefully. That much Coke is “only” about 2lbs of sugar a day.

If she only cut back to 1.5 lbs per day./s

Thanks!
