Was at a gas station, waiting to pay. The guy in front of me was buying a bunch of stuff from the convenience store, including a 1 litre regular Coke. As the cashier was ringing him up, she asked if he needed anything else. His answer: "Oh yes, I need a cup of ice. My cooler died, and I need to keep my insulin cold". Note my description of what he was buying.

I think Snickers would be better for that considering the simple and complex sugars involved.

It's amazing what you see people buy. I cannot tell how many times I have had women buy a pregnancy test, a bottle of booze, and cigarettes. I'm not judging, maybe the booze and cigarettes are for if the test is negative, but jeez. Then there's the ones like my diabetic husband who hit all the after-holiday clearance sales to buy up the candy. Really dude? Wonder why you're diabetic??

Years ago, the swamp would mark down all its remaining Easter merchandise on Easter Sunday.
So then after church let out that morning, people would be pouring in to buy the big, pre-made Easter baskets at reduced prices.
I'm told one year there were two people fighting over one of the damn things. Fun.Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.

And SUGAR DOES NOT CAUSE DIABETES. How many times does science have to try to slam this into peoples heads? If you are FAT you have an increased chance of becoming diabetic [and frequently one can halt it in its little diabetic tracks by losing the weight and starting an exercise program] One can be *born* diabetic [type one] or one can become diabetic [type two] through a number of things - but simply overdosing on sugar is not one of the ways - you can tuck into a pound of chocolate a day, IF YOU DO THE AMOUNT OF EXERCISE TO BURN IT RIGHT OFF.EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.

OT: I love* you.

The sugary beverage could have been for his SO, or he could have the type of diabetes where a little sugar (small cup of the soda) if taken with a meal doesn't hurt. Or as someone else said, could have been for cleaning. A can of coke in the washing machine gets greasy stains out of clothes like nothing else. Soaking in coke can even get out motor oil.Last edited by WishfulSpirit; 04-10-2015, 05:23 AM."I try to be curious about everything, even things that don't interest me." -Alex Trebek

You are absolutely correct. I did not mean to imply that sugar causes diabetes. However, if you are diabetic, you should be watching your sugar intake. Unlike my husband, who will go through an entire 19.75 ounce bag of candy in one 24 hour period.
