If I'm going to eat 744 calories in one go, it's sure as hell going to be a much more pleasurable experience than downing 64 oz. of Coca-Cola.

Sometimes, you just need 64 ounces of Coca-Cola.

Not every day, though.

I'm not saying it's a great idea, but I think the target audience for a Double Gulp is someone who does physical labour and is using that coke as a means of hydration and cheap calories.

I think the target audience is fat (or soon to be fat) people who consume soda as their main means of intaking liquid because they really like sugar.

I really am not too keen on soda, so I just down a cup of sugar and then fill up on tap water.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Thankfully with fat acceptance, Big Gulp enthusiasts won't have to feel bad about getting fat from drinking all that sugary soda.
