    Holy shit. Parents should be really embarrassed about this. It wasn’t Timmy buying deadly sugar solution because it was the cheapest thing that’s not water.

    That’s the only logical conclusion from the correlation with tax, right?

      The other conclusion could also be, that Timmies parents just do not have enough money anymore to spend this on a daily basis on that sugar bombs. Lack of money and lack of education often going hand in hand.

      It is heartbreaking to see that some parents should never had become children. If they endanger their kids BC/ they are not able to distinguish between information and advertising on that level. I think we’re doomed as a society for exactly that reason. These are exactly the people voting for brexit, Trump or Nazi scumbags in Europe.
