          Are there really? I have a soda stream but all the syrups I’ve seen were like diet versions of stuff. Do you have an example you can link to?

          So, based on Wikipedia, Cocola has ~15-20% stake in the company, but does not own them.

          Which is to say that Coca Cola probably has the most say on anything that goes, but is not running the show.

            I remember seeing it written on the can but I checked my last can at home and that doesn’t even mention coke when other brands do so I could’ve been misremembering and had pure luck be why I wasn’t technically wrong.

        You can dissolve a rat into Monster within a few weeks, do you really want to drink something like that?

          Is that different from any other soda? They’re all pretty acidic.
