The comments are a riot but some are exactly right. She’s drinking a 6 oz bottle of coke made with real sugar. If she only has one a day or less, no worries as long as she brushes her teeth lest she get cavities. Today everything is supersized, therefore the people are also supersized.
in one of the comments, someone said, coke and cigarettes were water and food back then. lol
Even cavities are probably due more to genetics than behavior. I lived off candy and soda as a kid, and had none. Brushed my teeth when my parents reminded me.
Yep - back in the ‘50s and ‘60s, coke machines had 8 oz bottles and folks who used them might be taking a break (gas station attendants/mechanics for instance) and would hang out by the machine for ten minutes of chewing the fat, finish the soda, rack the bottle and be back to work. A soda was part of a short respite and not a way of life.
