This new trend of soda that's made of cane sugar and natural coloring is pretty stupid. It's still a ton of calories and acid on your teeth. At Chipotle, cava, Panera, I'll get sparkling water out of the Sprite tap and then flavor with a dash of whatever nu soda they have.

Panera, I feel, is 100% at fault here for trying to make soda and apparently ENERGY DRINKS seem innocuous and healthy.

Isn't all soda essentially just sugar and food coloring?

That's just the CO2 mixed in the water

Some soda has various chemicals to trick your body into responding to sweetness, but no actual sugars

"This new trend "

It's not really new. It's that the cane sugar sodas cost more to make, which means cost more to buy. You can taste the difference, but you have to actually care to be willing to pay the increased price.

Jones has always done it. Coca Cola used to release it "Mexican Coca Cola" in my area every few months at $3/bottle.

It's newer at fast casual restaurants

why does the sprite tap have sparkling water and not sprite?
