> I guess you were one of the folks contributing to a statistic I once read that the soda pop industry in the U.S. makes enough pop for every man, woman and child in the country to consume 52 gallons per year.

Thanks for inspiring me to do the math... 24 cans/day = 821.25 gallons/year. (Edit: And, by the way, 52 gallons/year is only 1.5 cans/day.)

Hell... I only cover for for about 15 non-soda drinkers; I wonder who's picking up my slack? (I once read that Hugh Hefner was a 24 can/day guy, and I've heard of others whose names I can't recall.)

But the other half of the math (which I did do long ago) is that I was ingesting just short of 800 pounds of sugar/year! shocked

And that was without taking into consideration my endless intake of chocolate and other such junk food and candy. shocked shocked
