Man, ain't Fanta some shit? Yes, I am talking about the orange-flavored carbonated drink.
(photo courtesy of wikipedia, see source here) ---- As any poor/working class Mexican kid born in the 90's can attest, carbonated soft-drinks were our regular poison. My particular liquid venom of choice was Sprite/7UP. Yes, even during my early elementary school years, you could tell that they tasted the exact fucking same. ---- The fact that both Coca-Cola and Pepsi were so gung-ho about how you could totally tell the difference was some bullshit. The only fucking difference is that you could buy one for cheaper because a ton of people have the returnable glass bottles, so you could get them at the store for like 1.50-to-2 MXN pesos, so a 3-member family could drink their high-containing fake-sugar beverage for next to nothing. 6 Pesos for three whole drinks? That's fucking madness! ---- Ever since around 2017, I haven't drank these more than maybe once a month/once every two months. And now that I've had to drink these things during a couple of nights in a row, something hit me: Past me was an unsuspecting genius. Legit, nothing helps you out of a hangover quite like a Sprite or 7UP. ---- I don't know where I'm going with this dweeby-ass story, so I'm putting a cap on it, other than yay! Sprite! The ideal drink for hangovers! See ya' tomorrow!
