Why does a can of soda "only" have 140 calories?

There's gotta be some sort of tom fuckery going on here

Because it's literally carbonated water, a bunch of chemicals for preservatives and flavoring and a bunch of liquid sugar.

The part that confuses me is how its so fattening when its only at 140 calories. You'd think all the sugar in there would equal out to a lot more calories

Because you drink 15 of them a day, tubby.

Because that’s how much is in the syrup part of the soda.

But I only drink 1 a week

It's fattening because refined sugar is a preferred source of energy (ATP) for the body. Thus, it'll use the sugar and store everything else into your fat fucking ass.

Because counting calories is retarded. The form the sugar comes in makes a difference in how your body processes it. The sugar in pop is typically high fructose corn syrup. Your liver will store fructose and glucose in your body as fat when it can't process more. Fructose will continue to be absorbed by your liver even if its fructose and glucose stores are full. Your liver then stores this fructose as fat.
