Thanks. And Again, someone wrote the dictionary. That doesn’t mean we have to agree with their definition — it may be the ‘accepted’ one (not sure by who), but I guess you get what I mean.

1·18 hours agoYeah, probably not enough to burn through 26 grams of sugar (maybe more depending on what they eat for lunch/how many tins of the terrible stuff they have before or after school)

2·18 hours agoI presume you’re not a fan of sugar cubes then in favour of a spoon?
I agree mostly, But I do think it’s gratuitous of people to say ‘by definition’ because who gets to set the definition? The definition of something like sport is not an indefatigable universal truth, it’s only coz some bloke somewhere in history said ‘this is the definition of sport’ and some other people went along with it, but we can make definitions also. Thats why I don’t agree with people who say ‘it’s a sport and you have to call it a sport coz others say it is’ (I don’t mean you by that, but the people en masse.) My point is: the definition of sport, whether corporations like it or not, is a matter of opinion/personal preference. Anyone can call what they want a sport or not personally to them if they decide so. We shouldn’t care about the ‘definition’, unless you agree with that particular definition. What I’m saying is, have your own mind.
Well, everyone has their own view on what is a sport and what isn’t. Your view is perfectly fine for yourself, just as mine is perfectly fine for me. You say it’s a sport, I say it’s not. It’s simply a matter of opinion/preference

2·1 day agoWell let’s have a look at the quantities of caffeine and Turaine of red bull and compare, shall we? Here, have a look at this: https://www.redbull.com/us-en/energydrink/products/red-bull-energy-drink-ingredients-list

2·1 day agoPossibly two different people rounded it differently.
I just got the stats off this page on their website
Yeah it’s not good when big companies like that make such misleading comparisons

6·1 day agoI don’t disagree to be fair. Doesn’t mean I can’t still shit all over it. This is shitposts after all. Also, it’s not solely much a pure jab at Dunkin’ (not alone anyway) but at people’s copious consumption of junk food also. Just sayin’…

1·2 days agoActually, I believe I know it despite not living in America: isn’t it 29 grams of sugar for a large?

Not necessarily: pretty sure people might argue that saying princesses are just for girls, for example, is sexist, but not misogynistic. Depends on the context ig. In the quote above, putting them together is about emphasis on the negative more than anything, so it does serve some purpose, even if the meaning is similar
