I order my sodas in a dirty glass. It’s a dirty soda without all of the sugar.
On the other hand, I do not see a lot of fat Mormons around here.
This is really nothing new, just different flavors. America has had Ice cream floats, Root beer floats and egg creams (no actual eggs in it) for as far back as the 1920’s.
For those who don’t know what an egg cream is:

Maybe the just need to changes the filter in the water / ice dispenser.😄
I’m an old guy, so now I look at ingredient labels much more than I used to.
I’ve seen soft drink portions that have 150% of the daily recommended amount of sugar.

And then there are the “healthy” granola bars that are more like candy bars.

The federal government messes a lot up. But they did a good thing by requiring nutritional labels on food.
It would not surprise me to find out that there is already a popular retail beverage with the word “Dirty” in the brand name.
There is a liqueur named Poison Liqueur, which tastes somewhat like wild berry schnapps.
There is even a drink called “Liquid Death”, if you can believe that. What in the world could it be?
Ice Tea + sparkling mountain water. Shocking.
The tagline is “Murder Your Thirst!”
Summary Conclusion: Most people like taking risks, even safe risks that they just like to pretend might be ‘dangerous’.
Cue Joe South singing “The Games People Play” 1969.
As if the regular soda drinks are anything other than metabolic poison.
I used to be totally addicted to Pepsi. Quit it cold and in just a few weeks my health and vitality noticeably improved. That was 20 years ago and now, at 71, I feel better than I did at 40.

Ah, yes— the “but doctors warn,” “but experts warn” tripe.
Soda might be bad. It might make you obese, it might give you cancer. Diet soda— immoral! But then again, spending hours a day glued to MSN or CNN will do the same thing, in shorter time.
I roll my eyes every time a news outlet serves up another story framed through the lens of scolding experts. Their so-called grassroots concern is often just paid solicitation to add authority to a story the news agency has already written. I know this to be true because the literary template is almost never broken.
“But” doctors warn of health risks? It should say “and” doctors warn of health risks. I am thinking that there are no writers who know English.
Just stick to DQ Blizzards for your sugar boosts.
Okay, I’m convinced. Neat or on the rocks is the way to go.
