And truthfully, I don't really drink that many. I'm mostly a Topo Chico, Waterloo guy. But this was the first thing I grabbed. And he said, huh, I noticed you're drinking whatever it was I was drinking. A Fresca, actually. You know that that has a sweetener in it that is 500 times sweeter than sugar?
