Why do people act like coffee in the morning is such a sacred routine but soda in the morning [basically the same drink] is lowbrow and unhealthy? (lemmy.world)

like, it's caffeine and water and brown, who cares. i drink diet soda so it's no calories, no sugar. versus the stereotype starbucks order, why is soda so demonized

the whole sort of basically woo stuff about oh there's antioxidants there which give you a 3% lower risk of skin cancer after the age of 65 like come on that doesn't count

Also the amount is important soft drinks are packed in 300ml or 500ml where coffee you get only 30ml shot and glass of water

I rarely drink coffee and sometimes drink soda, but never in the morning. I’m concerned about developing a need for caffeine.

I don't understand how people can have sugar with their primary source of caffeine. Caffeine just doesn't hit me right with any calories. I also hate coffee, so I live on those Celcius powders.
