I can’t agree with you there. Many sodas do not contain HFCS.. same with off the shelf “juices”.. still horrible for you.

Do you know what’s even better than a goetta and eggs breakfast?
A goetta and egg and hot salsa Grilled CHeese from Tom & Chee. De li Ci OUS.
Uber fattening.. and I don’t care. We order one of those, and one grilled cheese donut..then give half to the other person.
Heaven in a Grilled Cheese.

Below is a very large picture of the Citric Acid or Krebs Cycle. It's a fundamental part of energy generation in almost every cell in the human body. Every single molecule pictured below is a carbohydrate interacting with another compound to eventually produce energy that is needed to...you know...live.

My life changed the day I discovered fresh beer. We have several local breweries within 15 minutes of my house, so I can always have a growler or two fresh in the fridge. Haven't had a bottle or can in years.I'm that guy also. I do drink it .. maybe once a month at the very very most. I live off of black coffee, water and beer

So I found out.. I didn’t know that.. I do know that Coney Island (Cincinnati area) and Cedar Fair Parks.. and any zoo or museum or movie theater or indoor playground/ trampoline park that I’ve ever been to, do not offer unlimited free refills.
It’s nice to learn about Holifay World though!

Beer is more gross than tofu. Just sayin’
If you really like fresh beer, brew it yourself. Then you can have all the "free" refills you want, any time you want.

These "there are no signs" posts are rediculous
When you walk into a place of commerce... you don't need a sign to tell you "things are not free" - because we have a built in assumption that things that are SOMEONE ELSE'S are not free to take.
No one walks up to a store that has product out on the sidewalk to draw attention and says "oh look, no signs, no cashier out there, so I guess I don't have to pay!"
We have established social/commercial conventions people are trained to follow. We all understand that the condiment station is free to use to top off our food. We all understanding the straws and napkins are there without charge and intended for our use while buying from this store. We don't need signs that say "Do not take full stacks to use at home" - there is a convention that the vendor has put these out for their customer's convenience... not that they are a free for all.
When that convenience is overrun by people abusing the privilege, the operator will do things like keeping napkins behind the counter.
Drink refills really don't have a rock solid convention. It really does vary greatly depending on the store, location, etc. Many stores have taken a refill strategy as a courtesy.... many have it simply as a balance of not worth enforcing... and some do not allow it at all.
The argument of "the filling station is out here.. so its free" is a selfish one that really isn't founded in anything. The filling stations were moved out there to save labor cost - not to simplify refills. Refill policies still varied, not dictated by the machine location. (Notice the machines were placed NEAR the order counter by the chains??). The logic behind 'machines are out here, so we get refills' is as bad as saying "there is no cashier blocking the door, so I guess I can walk right out.."
The 'sign believers' logic is flawed. It supports the idea I can use the machines for free with any cup.. because there is no sign saying I must buy something from the counter right??? No one believes that... because the logic is narrowed and flawed because it ignores the established conventions.
In my travels, I still find refills to vary significantly. I don't not assume a table service includes free refills unless it states as such. I do not assume a drink counter includes free refills unless there is a sign stating as such. It's very common for locations limit refills to same visit now... but I still see plenty of locations (especially urban areas) to limit even further.

Yes fresh beer is nice. I'd agree there. I'm a picky beer drinker, so its hard to find something I like fresh.
I do thoroughly enjoy a bar made cherry coke (grenadine) every so often.
Regular soda/pop, doesn't do anything for me, no cravings at all, in fact sometimes its repulsive especially when i'm actually thirsty.

I have a daughter that cut out all carbs. Initially she lost weight, cholesterol was never a problem and she feels that her mind is clear. She is now putting on weight and still is no carb. It's my daughter so I can say this.... her mind is NOT clear. Carbs have been the thing that kept people alive and thriving and alert for thousands of years, the body craves it for a reason, it is needed to provide energy. As usual the middle is where the answer is. Balance of protein and carbs are an obvious answer. Extremes almost never solve any problem.

Hear Hear!
I just had a glass bottle of coke yesterday, with real sugar instead of the high fructose stuff - it was like god himself made that batch of Coca Cola just for me.
After 4 or 5 sequential days of weightlifting sessions and eating healthy I crave the weirdest things

Pretty much since the RapidFill system was installed. Each scan of the chip dispenses the appropriate amount to fill the cup (16, 20 oz etc), then the timer starts. So if you fill your cup halfway with ice, and then add the soda, you might get limited to less than a full cup of soda. But if you are quick enough you can fill it up, drink a bunch, and then top it back off before the timer kicks in. I believe it applies across fountains, so if you did half Coke and half Barqs it remembers that you did 8.3oz of Coke and only lets you put in 7.7oz of Barqs.

"Fresh beer" is the term you use when you go to a brewery and fill up your glassware right from the brewer's tap.
Your statement is like saying "flash-freezing seafood right on the fishing boat has zero impact on its freshness." Okay, that's technically true. But you still don't refer to frozen fish as "fresh fish."
