[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you ordering soda in Europe? There are so many other delicious things you could be drinking. What a weirdo.[/quote]

There's no shortage of soda anywhere in Europe. So obviously plenty of Europeans do drink them. They must be weirdos.

Not everyone has the inclination for beer or wine or apertifs and sometimes you want something that isn't water, even sparkling water. [/quote]

There are sodas everywhere because there are American tourists everywhere. Not because Euros drink soda.[/quote]

I mean, Europeans obviously drink soda. They likely drink less soda than Americans, but they do not stock soda solely for American tourists. This is preposterous. The Europeans do a lot of things better than Americans, but they are not all health nuts.[/quote]

This, these threads are always so strange to me. Soda is a worldwide phenomenon. Might have been invented in the US, but like jeans and social media, it's been embraced all over the world. American culture around soda is different than elsewhere (I've never seen a Big Gulp while traveling in Europe) but of course it is served at many restaurants and cafeterias and sold in grocery stores.

I also love the "drink wine not soda" people. As though people in Europe are pouring themselves a nice cab sav at 11am to perk themselves up after a long flight. It's like a caricature.[/quote]
