I'm a teenager, and just know, you're not old. Stuff is just getting sweeter and sweeter. I'm lucky too sweet things literally hurt my teeth, otherwise I'd probably have heart disease and diabetes already

[@ByTheStorm]

If it makes you feel any better, fruits have been bred to be so sweet that zoo animals can barely stomach them due to their sugar content. Everything that’s not homemade is loaded with sugar or other sweeteners. Subway bread is legally considered cake in Ireland. And plenty of breads have that crap in them besides tomato sauces and other things that shouldn’t have it to begin with.

[@futuristicgirl14]

Try Asian desserts, and drinks! A lot of Korean and Japanese sweets are well balanced and usually refreshing. They tend to use more fresh fruits, and for drinks like Boba, the sweetness is customizable.

[@Narangarath]

Yeah, it's gotten to the point that I literally make very nearly all of my treats. Donuts, ice cream, pastries, candy and chocolate bars plus the basic cookies, cakes, pies etc. Load them up with lots of flavor from quality ingredients and just enough sugar. I swear they also taste better simply because of the feeling of accomplishment you get from making things yourself.

Was a barista for five years, and this video hits so hard, y'all don't even know. As I've grown into the habit of saying, people who frequent coffee shops or just generally drink their "coffee" like this don't actually like coffee, they like sugar wrapped up in a coffee-flavored trenchcoat. I will never understand how people could just come in every single day and drop 10-12 dollars on a single, disgusting drink when it's so easy to make great coffee at home for so much less Edit: I realize I sorta sound like one of those annoying coffee purists who thinks that anything besides freshly-ground, whole-sourced coffee beans made via pour over or french press and drunk straight black is not "real" coffee, so to clarify, there is absolutely nothing wrong with adding a bit of sweetener and milk to your morning cup, or preffering lattes. But when your coffee contains just as much, if not more, sugar than a can of soda, then why are you even drinking coffee at all?

Coffee is extremely addictive. If you have to go through literal withdrawal syndrome when you go one day without it, it's addictive and you're addicted. I am currently pregnant. When I found out, I immediately decided to cut out excessive sugar and caffeine. I got so sick my first day, I had to go home early. Second day, I felt so weak, had a mild fever, and had such a strong headache, I couldn't sleep. By day three, i was still feeling sluggish, but much better. I havent gone back since - i still wake up in the middle of the night, but now it's just to pee, and I can easily go back to bed. My sleep schedule is a lot better. I found that taking a quick power nap during my breaks was way more helpful than caffeine ever was. Best of all, I'm saving 1 to 10 dollars every morning by not stopping or making coffee. I bought myself a cute water cup and just drink water now. My poop is better, my digestion is better, and honestly, even tho I am pregnant, I feel way better than before. I still have food with added sugar in it, in America it's almost impossible to avoid without cooking everything from home, but it has gotten better and I'm trying to slowly move towards no added sugar. One big thing I've noticed, and it could for sure be due to the pregnancy, is that "bland" food tastes way better when you aren't consuming sugary drinks. I can actually enjoy the flavor in veggies and fruits. I tried sods again over labor day and it was nasty? Like it burned. Had a Debbie cake, and I almost wanted to puke from how sugary it was.

[@oo8962]

How much coffee do people drink to the point of addiction? I used to drink coffee once every 2 or 3 days when I still have a job. Now I'm unemployed, I only drink coffee like twice a week max. Except when I bought instant coffee, I drink it everyday. But when it runs out, I don't have any withdrawal symptoms.

[@piecebypiece2028]

@oo8962 if you're only occassionally using you likely won't feel it, just like how if you only drink a beer or two on the weekend you won't experience withdrawals. Most people who like coffee drink it at least once everyday if not 2 to 3 times a day.

[@luisa146]

I have coffee every morning and while I can see that if I drink more than one (small, espresso size) cup a day I slowly build a tolerance, I've never experienced any withdrawals when for a day I didn't have any. But I make my coffee at home with a moka pot meaning one small cup is about 100 mg of caffeine while one dunkin donuts iced coffee has almost 300 mg caffeine.

13:55 😭 there are studies already. Sugar alcohols in high amounts can cause gut issues, or worsen those you already have. Some other studies seem to say that sugar alcohols can lower your ability to regulate normal sugar/ glucose. Moderation is really the only failsafe.

[@logan09144]

That's your -tols. Maltitol, sorbitol, erythritol, xylitol, etc. Aspartame, the main sweetener in most of those packets, is *the* most studied food additive in existence and, aside from people with the fairly rare metabolic disorder phenylketonuria, has been found to be completely safe with no adverse effects.

[@vixxcelacea2778]

Latest info is that overall, safety is inconclusive. There have been studies that find correlations and others that find nothing. What we do know, is that for many, GI upset isn't uncommon due to the body technically not processing the sugar alcohol, hence the issues one hears about. I've seen nothing that has to do with regulation of glucose being impacted, but that it does in fact raise blood sugar a bit, so diabetics and others with insulin issues should be aware. No where near the same as regular sugar though. Second is that there is a correlation vs causation problem. People who are already sugar addicts and in obesity range body condition are more likely overall to have heart related issues. This is the same group most likely to engage in switching to sugar alcohol. So it's possible that it's a already higher risk group. Kind of similar to pancreatic cancer, given it's mortality rate and paired with that most cases are usually alcoholics (one of the hardest addictions to break and has lots of health effects) and that it's a silent cancer that shows few symptoms until much much later. Devil's in the details, to which most studies can't possible cover all of them. You'd have to look at tons of them to get a good picture of what we know so far. That said, moderation is usually your best answer when you are unsure. It's also about what battle you want to fight. If sugar alcohol helps prevent binging or breaking into actual sugar, the risks might be worth it. There are so many things with food and health that are already a massive struggle that nothing could really be called the great enemy in the industry. And people are different and respond differently to those things. I can handle quite a lot of sugar alcohol, where as my partner's system is quite unhappy with the amount I take in comparatively. I'm personally most worried health wise about microplastics. Because we have no idea at all what that might cause.

[@gothica3605]

i feel like artificial sugars are more harmful than we're told. i have a prediction that there are going to be cases where awful things happen to those who drink a gallon of aspartame daily.

[@kingkarlito]

@@vixxcelacea2778 giving such a detailed, reasoned consideration of the known health effects of sugar alcohols to immediate paranoia despite no known health effects of microplastics almost gave me whiplash. the fact that the industrial utilization of plastics almost perfectly coincides with our demographic explosion and increased life expectancy without any significant health effects being observed probably means that microplastics do not have much of an effect on us. plastics are so useful because they are not reactive at all in most environments, this allows them to last so well. but this also means they are unlikely to react with anything in our bodies to negatively effect us. the best data we have today that they may have effects are really lacking any understanding of what is happening. "A study of more than 200 people undergoing surgery found that nearly 60% had microplastics or even smaller nanoplastics in a main artery. Those who did were 4.5 times more likely to experience a heart attack, a stroke or death in the approximately 34 months after the surgery than were those whose arteries were plastic-free." but unfortunately "Brook is curious about the 40% of participants who showed no evidence of microplastics in their plaques, especially given that it is nearly impossible to avoid plastics altogether."

[@kingkarlito]

@@gothica3605 aspartame has been studied to death for 50+ years at this point by more than 100 different governments regulatory bodies. the level of conspiracy required to falsify this is definitely harder than faking the moon landing and includes the entire world. your feeling requires either extreme ignorance or your own separate reality to be correct. if you have some spare time you might want to read about the reasons people are drawn to conspiracy theories and the common reasons why they are impossible. then revisit something like the aspartame wiki and see how you feel then. good luck homie

[@gianghuynh9570]

I once saw a play about a struggling British artist and his wife. The wife visited a friend and she didn’t eat breakfast so she asked the friend to add as much sugar as she could ask for in her coffee and played it off as “how the Turkish took it”, since the couple pretended to be successful and worldly. This whole thing reminds me of that. I guess that is somewhat tragic when you consider the fact that people sometimes don’t have the means or the time to eat something for breakfast, so loading their coffee, which is essential at this point since the world is addicted to it, with sugar is a coping mechanism.

[@Pomagranite167]

I dont think so. I think people are just addicted to the flavor of sugar. Most couldnt even stomach or enjoy a regular latte or a lightly sweetwned one. A lot of americans think water is nasty. Most, if they are thirsty, will get a sugary syrupy juice, or a soda, or sweet tea, sports drink, or energy drink, all of which are also syrupy or sugary. Tea is awesome, but it is light in flavor and doesnt require much sugar (or any, for some), but few americans would be able to enjoy a sugar or coffee without loads of milk or sugar to drown it out.

[@kingkarlito]

@@kristinaklyonts5574 no fruits did not become too sweet. zoos have always moderated the amount of fruit given to their animals in order to balance their diet. fruits have always been extremely sweet and drinking fruit juices have no practical difference from drinking sugar water. we no longer routinely fail to ingest enough nutrients to survive today, instead normally overconsuming. if you are overconsuming calories and nutrients, eating excess fruits is identical to candy. really despise this selfhating desire to assign blame on progress via conspiracies like this instead of accepting the obvious truth that increased production and processing made it trivial to access excess calories in our diet causing an obesity epidemic. the obesity epidemic is proof of our societies success.

Incidentally, a lot of the watertok folks were people who had bariatric surgery. One of the most common post-surgery symptoms is water nausea: an inability to keep down water. As it would turn out, adding syrups and flavors to water is a boon for people who have water nausea, and a lot of watertok channels do end up talking about their water nausea and how it led to them making wild concoctions as a way to keep water palatable for them...but having a whole carousel of syrups, glitters, and flavorings will never not be odd to me. Turning every angle of consumption into a trend is baffling.

Like, dude, I visited friends in Pennsylvania last year and tried corn bread for thr first time. I was shocked that something so sweet wasn't the desert but a mere side dish!

I used to work at Starbucks and thought the lady who ordered five pumps mocha, five white chocolate and four raspberry with three Splendas in her triple latte with was wild. But that was seventeen years ago- I’m guessing she’s either moved up to a pint glass of straight sugar or she’s dead.

[@marisolcardoso9382]

Well the drink with all that sugar is a bit misleading because if you see the paper from the order at 4:37 she specifically ordered "14 sugar", meaning she specifically ordered that much sugar and it was not in the original recipe

[@lancani7756]

Coffee certainly isn't a new craze. Civil War solders would literally risk their lives and plan their day around coffee. Hell, the confederacy would trade cigarettes for coffee with the union in their downtime.

[@trillbee9938]

This kind of insanely sugary and overly flavored coffee is, though

[@liissaa_]

the amount of faith these people have in coffee for it to dissolve all these powders and caramel is insane. At this point it not only should resemble syrup by the taste but by the consistency and viscosity too

[@jamilateef6392]

light roasted and toxin free beans for coffee is important. yemen has lovely coffees, i believe in yemen. happy september (comment to @liissaa from person in california west coast)

I wrote a fanfic once where a character kept accidentally making terrible drinks when the guy he had a crush on would order something. But seeing someone actually fill a cup half full of caramel syrup has revolted me so thoroughly I now have guilt inflicting that upon a character in a fanfic. When Wendy's used to have milkshakes I ordered one exactly once. The woman went over and put in what looked like a reasonable amount of syrup, turned and looked at me and then added more. Then looked at me again and added more. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to say something or not. She kept adding more and my stomach kept dropping. I think by the time she went to add the other ingredients somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 of the cup was syrup. It was absolutely revolting and I am still HAUNTED by this taste like a decade later. The fact that people willingly order this makes me fear for them.

Reminder: ITS OKAY TO NOT LIKE COFFEE, JUST DON’T DRINK IT INSTEAD OF HAVING 20 SUGARS

[@anurlailika]

Its so outrageous, I’m having a hard time believing somebody actually orders this regularly

[@Count990]

I have heard some people do this to use as creamer in their coffee they make at home. So they really like the Dunkin’/starbucks flavors but don’t want to pay for a drink everyday so they just buy this once and use it as their creamer for the week.

Speaking of adding illegal substances to coffee, when I visited the US, I tried coffee with cbd oil and my body has bever been more confused, got both energized and relaxed-sleepy at the same time lol (shoutout to Blackstone Cafe in RI, really tasty vegan options and good beverages)

[@mybaguettes5937]

14:27 bro my reaction was the same. I love chocolate but ISNT THAT ENOUGH SPRINKLES AND CHOCOLATE?! Sometimes I just hate it when people use a lot of sauces or seasonings or dressings on one food, and you can’t even see the food itself, seems SUPER excessive.

[@marcelusdarcy]

People really think that because theyre eating a salad they can put a godly amount of dressing on it because eating a salad is 'healthy' completely erasea the healthy aspect when youre drenching it in fat and salt and sugar

[@EmeraldAshesAudio]

I have a major sweet-tooth, but as the TikTok went on, I was feeling queasy. It might be good for a bite or two, but even that might be too much sugar.

[@cmaven4762]

I've quit coffee a few times on vacation. I find each time I quit it takes longer and is harder to do. But I have to agree the stomach benefits are extensive. Now if I could just stop with the seltzer water .... kml ...

[@BeforeOurCrime]

I've been trying to quit both and it's been a struggle 😅 Especially since I have IBS

[@helmalu]

As a Brazilian I was curious to hear what other people think about this habit. Here in Brazil our coffee is stronger and sometimes less sugary. It’s something that is so deeply ingrained in our daily lives that we don’t even think about it.

[@acatnamedPATCHES]

Former McDonalds employee here. My usual startion was drivethru order taker/barista. Having to make monstrosities such as this wasn't exactly rare. But the worst one by far was these two ladies that came in every day (at least it felt like it), and they always ordered the same thing. It was always two of the big iced coffees and they were made the same way. 4 pumps of the hot carmel sunday syrup around the cup. Keep in mind that pump dispenses way more than the carmel syrup for the mcCafe bar, probably 2 to 3 times more. And 6 extra orders of carmel syrup (an order is 2 full pumps from the syrup dispenser) and 10 extra creamer. Even with ordering light ice, it still only left room for around 4 to 6 ounces of coffee in the entire drink. THEY ORDERED THIS EVERY DAY, I left years ago, and I wonder if those two are still alive.

[@SuperYogagirl]

😮 gosh.. how do you get to that point of 6 extra Carmel pumps? Does a person start at one and then after a while they have an urge to increase another shot?

[@acatnamedPATCHES]

@@SuperYogagirl My best guess is hubris

[@Whiskyphus]

According to Kierkegaard's biographer, he would fill his cup past the rim with sugar and then pour coffee over it. So people have been doing this since at least the 1800s. 9:27

[@blackosprey2219]

I've found a great way to prevent excess is making it yourself. Brew your own coffee, cook up your own caramel, whip your own whipped cream. It takes a little time and effort, which is precisely what prevents overconsumption. Cheaper too!

I managed a Dunkin until 15 years ago. The crazy iced coffees weren't a very big thing back then, they were just starting. When i first started working at a Dunkin Donuts way back in 1983 things were very different. The focus was on donuts being made by hand in-store several times a day and there was literally one kind of coffee, no flavor shots or syrups. Decaf was a packet of instant Sanka. We made iced coffee one pot at a time, pouring it into old jelly buckets and dragging them into the walk-in to chill. We had takeout but if you had your coffee there it was served in real cups and glasses. The current small coffee used to be our large. The current medium used to be "The Big One". Our small coffee was little bigger than an espresso cup, at 6 oz. The police station was behind our store and every morning a cop would come in for small black coffees and plain donuts, one for each of the overnight "guests" in lockup. And my uniform was a little beige dress with an apron that had trees with pink and orange donuts on the branches 😂

@jenniferk9242 fascinating. Thank you for sharing!

People in the future will talk about sugar like we talk about mercury, lead, arsenic, etc nowadays.

[@mellydonut]

I tried ordering a black iced coffee from Dutch Bros a couple times before and the staff are always like… “You sure? You don’t want any syrups?!” Like please does anyone serve just coffee anymore 😭

[@Widdekuu91]

Tell them that a normal coffee in the Netherlands is just black. If they want to pretend to be Dutch bro's they better act like it. Koffie verkeerd* (Coffee Wrong) is 50/50 milk and espresso. We call that wrong for a reason. *pronounced as koffee fair-keyr-t.

[@HighAsHeckPriestess]

They...they do sell regular coffee at Dutch Bros. Its on the menu. They ask not out of confusion but because they're trying to sell you on adding other stuff to your drink (flavor is like a dollar)

[@romantic_hippie]

Stop being edgy, of course people still drink regular coffee 🤣 they just don't advertise it all over social media. Who do you think keeps them in business?
