When has Donald Trump ever paid a bill?

"Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter" my ass.

This constant corporate sucking off of Donald Trump is fucking humiliating.

The guy is the world's single biggest assclown and its not even close - he has lapped the field and yet they all still tremble and bow and kneel before him? Looks like I will be switching to anything but Coca-Cola products now.

(At least Pepsi had their cane sugar thing out before Trump was flailiing around looking for wedge issues to distract the public from his record as a sex crimes offender and registrant for he Lolita Express with his bestie Epstein.)

there's not any reduction in calories, sugars, or carbs to using more expensive cane sugar. I like it but don't want any DUers believing the delusional BS spewed forth from the orange clown and brainworms.

cane sugar but i do about corn syrup- it is bad
because of all of the herbicides, pesticides and
fertilisers used to grow it. water is better for you
if you live in an area that has a clean supply.

you could buy sugar-sweetened Coke at Passover. Now I have to go to a Mexican restaurant for the real stuff.

And no, I don't drink a lot of it, mostly for an upset stomach. But sugared Coke is a whole other, delicious, animal from corn syrup Coke. I don't care why they're changing it. I'm glad.

When I was little, the only time I was allowed to cross Washington St. (it was busy) was once in a while in the summer when my mother was ironing in the kitchen and gave me a dime to go to the gas station across Washington St. and buy a Coke out of the machine. I was rewarded with maybe 2 ounces in a juice glass.

I guess Jews can't have corn during that time but sugar cane is ok. I used to live in a Jewish neighborhood and that type of coke was available in local stores seasonally.
