It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The low carb dieter in me feels compelled to point out that there's probably more grams of sugar and more calories in one of those "healthy" juices than there is in a regular, non diet coke.PatsChick87 said:I'm all for any kind of promotion that gets kids in particular, buying healthier products.
Don't knock it. That minimum wage can buy braces for one of the employee's kid's tooth.Bill's Girl said:The people in the article say its good for their town......just what that state needs, more minimum wage jobs......

Umm.. you forgot the sherbet in the Smoothie. Yummy polysorbate 80 and tragacanth... good stuff. And more to BF's original point:zarakotas5 said:To rebut:
Smoothie ingredients: fruit, fruit juice, various plant products (spirulina, wheat grass, etc)
Coca-Cola ingredients: carbonated water (generally waste water run through who knows what type of treatment processes), processed sugar, artificial flavors and sweeteners derived from known carcinogens.
Ummm... if simply owning a store or running a business in your home town meets your definition of "giving back" then I'd say many of us here can say the same.zarakotas5 said:Hey, the guy is giving back to his hometown. How many can say the same?
Even better :T-ShirtDynasty said:Randy's favorite smoothie, the Caribbean Blend... per 12 oz:
240 Calories and 54 grams of Carbs with 48 grams of that being sugar.
Coke Classic.. per 12 oz:
132 Calories and 36 grams of Carbs.
Even betterer : H20 baby. Especially if you plan on spending your life on Atkins... gotta take care of those kidneys and liver. I don't believe diet sodas hurt you in any way, but they don't do anything good for you either, pure water actually helps the old bod in many ways. Took me almost a year to kick my 12 pack of diet pepsi a day habit, but I noticed a difference and don't plan on ever going back to it.BelichickFan said:Even better :
Diet Coke (or 7 Up, my choice) : 0 Calories, 0 G or Carbs.
Yeah, I take a gallon of ice water to work every day and drink between 75% and 100% of it. Then I have more Diet 7-Up at home.T-ShirtDynasty said:Even betterer : H20 baby.

Might as well have a couple Snickers bars insteadT-ShirtDynasty said:but jeepers man, 48 grams of sugar in a 12 ounce beverage is unreal.
