    I don't get this. I mean, if you don't want to consume HFCS that's your business but I don't get why you would act shocked that many people don't care. I haven't heard a single compelling explanation of why HFCS is worse for you than cane sugar. If you notice a difference in taste, knock yourself out. Not everyone is going to notice a difference or if they do, they may not dislike the taste of HFCS.

    I didn't make myself clear. It's not about taste or health issues. Just say this aloud: High. Fructose. Corn. Syrup.


    Now say: Cane. Sugar.

    Based off of the names alone, which would YOU rather drink.

    Peach Water is delicious

    but i have had a bad brand of it which just tasted like bad cordial

    but the good stuff is so nice

    these holidays ive been going to a korean grocery store like a couple of times a week just to get peach water and korean cigarettes

    during semester i can get the cigs somewhere else and its hard to find the peach water which is the only reason i dont have it every single day

    because i seriously would if it was sold at uni
    probably like 2 or 3 bottles if it was the same low price

    Im not saying thats how i decide and its not about word length. I guess to me High Fructose Corn Syrup sounds disgusting because, it sounds like a chemical, i hate corn in all states that aren't popped, and then to tack syrup at the end....just ew.....plus i have SEEN pure corn syrup and it looks nasty.

    Cane Sugar sound more natural and friendly.

    does this mean i won't drink sodas that have HFCS? no...i just don't look at the ingredients.

    But you're still judging an ingredient in a product based on how the name sounds instead of what it actually is and how your body treats it. Do me a favor, avoid consuming Dihydrogen Monoxide whenever possible.

    I know that neither HFCS or Cane Sugar will kill me if consumed in reasonable amounts. Also, i have stated that my dislike for HFCS's nomenclature or presence has no actually weight on my decisions about what beverages to drink. Basically my point was this: HFCS sounds nasty.

    Now, for what ever reason, this struck a chord with you and you decided to stand your philosophical ground. In doing so you have turned an off-handed and unserious comment into a boring discussion based almost entirely off of your misunderstanding of my intent.

    i think i got hooked cos of smoking with korean friends in high school
    they are fairly smooth and light. and theyre a bit cheaper too

    basically anytime i have to buy cigs somewhere else i end up looking at the brands for like 5 minutes before choosing something random. i dont really like the usual brands and they can cost $3 more than the korean ones

    only shitty thing is that they are harder to find, and for some reason they stopped importing my favourite brand, so what i get now isnt quite as satisfying, but still alrite

    I don't buy drinks to have at home.
    I get frustrated when i get a big thing of soda or juice, and i just drink it up. I know thats the point, but it always feels like a needless expense when water is so readily available.

    The only exceptions are coffee and tea.
    In fact it is the opposite for those, in that i will not buy them from vendors when it is so cheep and easy to do at home.

    I'm too cheap for liquids.

    Read about HFCS HERE

    tl;dr: HFCS causes Diabeetus, among other things. It's just not good for you.

    As far as drinks go, I do enjoy jasmine green tea. Can't find it much anymore, and it's hard to get the mix right when combining the separate teas.

    the pokka brand bottled teas tend to be very nice
    as long as you get one of the sweet ones and not that one 'with catchetins' or whatever

    normally i get the jasmine tea stuff but they also got good fruit teas, like raspberry and lychee

    i think they may just be jasmine tea with fruit flavouring

    either way they are delicious
