Actually for anyone that has worked for a major company like Coca Cola, I'm not surprised by this and expect it as part of the culture. It's all a ruse to make the upper management feelz good about their themselves. Nothing ever changes.
It’s just not the same unless it’s in a glass bottle.
Do you have the 1975 Tennessee RC Bottle?
I'm starting to understand why Americans are so fat.
No. I was born in 76 and left wv at 6.
I don't have any RC bottles with TN.
If you are ever within 100 miles of parkersburg wv stop at the pizza place by the high school.
I promise its worth it.
Best pizza on the planet!
When I am in Columbus I will drive over to see my old home and grab a slice.
It’s the additive in the foods as well.Actually you would be very surprised if you looked at pictures from the 50s and 60s when we were drinking soft drinks and eating candy with sugar. I was shocked when looking at some of my old slides from airshows; we were really skinny people back then. US obesity started with a fool named Earl Butz - Nixon's Ag Secretary; he's the guy who switched us from real sugar to corn syrup in everything. Probably all the stuff being fed to animals and genetic breeding of plants isn't helping either. Visit the UT yearbook site and check out pictures from the 60's - look at football player size, in fact.
Just a couple of many articles about what changed American bodies.

Remember these were big guys at the time - bigger than the rest of us. Bob Johnson was a two time All American and played several years in the NFL.
It’s the additive in the foods as well.
Portion size too goes along with that. When I was a kid and we got a treat, we went to McDonalds and got a hamburger, fries and coke. The hamburger was tiny, the fries even smaller and the coke was about 8 oz's. Now days a burger, fries and a coke gets you a 1/4 pounder, 5,000 fries and 32 oz's of coke.I have no doubt there are multiple tests and studies showing that growth hormones fed to animals that become human food have no effect on us; I don't think I believe them. I guess Fauci would just say the evidence (obesity and earlier physical maturity) is anecdotal. I'd go farther and say feminists contributed highly to the additive problem in our food ... and in other negative ways. Those "fulfilling" careers now that they've created the need for two family incomes, don't leave mothers time for cooking real food rather than heating processed food or seeing to child development.
My family werent coal miners but always been a favoriteMy grandfather on my mothers side was a Kentucky coal miner. His lunch every day was a moon pie and an RC. It was a coal miner thing. As a result as a kid when I was good he’d give me an RC and a Moon pie.
It left me with a love that is probably beyond the reality
Is this the "I'm rubber and you're glue" gambit, where you take what I say and repeat it back?
Well done, trash talking 9 year olds on playgrounds across the planet approve.
