I miss these days, I miss the 90's, & early 2000's, wish I could go back in time. Those were the good old days. I remembered Gas prices being so low $10 would get you a half of a tank of Gas, and minimum wage jobs were $5 an hour. Everything was cheaper back then. The 80's and 90's were the time to be alive, before cellphones existed. Kids respected their parents, and elders.

      Jon Jon no, not quite. If there is less than 5 calories in a serving it can be labeled and marketed as calorie free. Don’t forget also that not everyone consumes liquid by mouth, or chugs their drinks, so they’re definitely not taking chugging into consideration.
