There is a "54.5% greater risk of obesity for those who drink one to two cans of diet soda each day, in comparison with 32.8% percent for those who drink the same amount of regular soda" (Avery). Many people believe that if you are going to choose between diet soda and regular soda, diet soda is the no-brainer choice. Seeing the word "diet" on anything automatically makes you think—this must be healthy. The problem is that manufacturers like to mislead consumers into thinking that their "diet" product is a healthier version of their original. When really, they are just adding chemicals to make the nutrition label look healthier. Diet soda is worse than regular soda because it causes many physical and psychological problems.

When determining which is healthier “it comes down to the contents of light and dark soda. What sets apart dark soda are the ingredient’s caffeine and phosphoric acid. Caffeine and phosphoric acid are the source of several health concerns. Root beer and Sunkist grape soda are both dark drinks do not contain caffeine putting them on the same level as some drinks. Lighter drinks as well have their expectations with one of the ingredients, are the healthiest, because they contain in less sugar than dark soda’s.

Imagine that you saw the inside of your body just after you drank a can of soda. It is not pleasant. Soda is a sugary drink that a lot of people and kids love to drink when they have people over for an occasion. It is also offered at restaurants and other stores for people to get and buy. Soda and other sugary drinks should not be permitted in schools. Although soda is not healthy for you, it tastes delightful and pleasurable.

When a person is deciding what to eat and drink, they must always look at how it will affect them, regardless of how good it tastes. Every food is filled with things that are good and bad. Soft drinks are the most consumed beverage in the world today. Unfortunately, soft drinks are extremely toxic. Whether soft drinks satisfy thirst and taste good, this should not be a good enough reason to drink it. We should all do our bodies a favor and stop drinking soda.

For more than a century, Coca Cola and PepsiCo have been the major competitors within the soft drink market. By employing various advertising tactics, strategies such as blind taste tests, and reward initiatives for the consumer, they have grown to become oligopolistic rivals. In the soft-drink business, “The Coca-Cola Company” and “PepsiCo, Incorporated” hold most of the market shares in virtually every region of the world. They have brands that the consumers want, whether it be soft-drink brands or in PepsioCo’s case, snacks. With only one soft-drink market, the two competitors have no choice but to increase sales by stealing the other competitor’s clients. This led to the term, the “cola wars” which was first used

Soda is not only unhealthy because it is a sugary drink, but it is also the most acidic thing that people drink on a daily basis. Knowing this the question, which sodas will release the most carbon dioxide when mixed with hydrochloric acid arose. In addition, knowing background information about what it is that is being tested is very important. When it is said that soda is acidic that may catch people off guard, but how acidic soda is goes across as an even bigger surprise. The acidity of something is measured using pH. The pH scale is a way to measure the amount of hydrogen available to form a chemical bond. Containing a pH of 7 means that it is neutral in the acidity it contains. Soda has a pH of about 2.5 which is about the same pH as vinegar. To put this into perspective, battery acid has a pH of 1 and water has a pH of 7. Soda is closer in pH to battery acid rather than water in the amount of acid it contains. An interesting fact found was, “A pH below 4 or above 10 will kill most fish and very few animals can tolerate waters with a pH below 3 or above 11” (“8 Reasons Why People Drink Soda & 16 Reasons To Give Up Soda Drinking”). Hydrochloric acid can have range of the pH. This is determined on the concentration it is at. Muriatic acid is another name for hydrochloric acid. It can be found in the home in different cleaners. This acid is very poisonous (“Hydrochloric Acid”). Since the hydrochloric acid is secreted in the stomach, it is able

Main Point 3: If you’re someone who likes soda but wants to find something healthier, there are a lot of alternatives that you can choose from that you may end up liking more than your favorite soda.

As we all go about our day, we rush to place to place. Around us there are things for sale, people everywhere trying to make money. As we are rushing around, we all tend to get thirsty as we have a thousand things going on. In America we have dozens of choices when it comes to soft drinks, although the two most widely known are Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Many are often stuck between choosing Coke or Pepsi; even though they are slightly different in appearance, taste, and price it makes a world of difference to the customer.

Coca-Cola is a leading beverage industry in the United States and many other countries in the world. PepsiCo is also a leading worldwide beverage company, but they are also the parent company of the Frito-Lay and Quaker Oats Companies. This makes PepsiCo a leader in the beverage, snack and cereal industries. As consumers, we have indulged in their products for many years. My personal preference has always been Pepsi over Coke, which is why I was very interested in conducting this analysis. Regardless of the results, I will always seek out a Diet Pepsi over a Diet Coke and so will many of my physician friends at Children’s Hospital who start their mornings with a Diet Pepsi. These personal preferences are what contributes to a company’s profits through net sales. However, the key performance measurement tools used are not based on sales alone. Calculating liquidity, solvency, and profitability ratios on a regular basis give us a better insight on the performance and overall health of a company.

The company known as Coca-Cola today was started in September of 1919, but the first Coke brand was served as early as 1886. Since that time it has grown to be one of the most globally recognized brand names with a stock value of $167 billion. Coke’s plan has always been developed with the future in mind. Right away the company realized that it was more profitable to manufacture the concentrate used to make carbonated drinks than to bottle it. From that point on they saw the entire world, not simply the originating country, as their desired market. It seems only practical that the company should pursue this agenda until conquered then focus the effort on expanding into different product lines. This logical
