Low Sugar Summer & SF Dirty Sodas

14 Aug, 2026

Thank you, The Human Bean, for the sugar free Coconut & sugar free Vanilla soda with a splash of half and half! Bean really has more in common with an early 20th century soda fountain than Starslop.

I was like "should I cheat and get a McDicks Dirty Doctor Pepper??" before I realized the small has 46g of sugar... and the large has 87g pf sugar!!! That's like double or triple your daily recommended, depending on your weight and other factors. We need more places like the Human Bean with the balls to have SF options for half their drinks.

Before I commit bamboozlement, I gotta mention that if you want it 100% sugar free, ya gotta not have half and half. But fuck it lol, close enough to sugar free w/ the hafff.

Don't mean to glaze drive thru places or anything. I know it's not a good habit but.. at the same time, it's nice when they have decent shit at these places. A special bean italian soda concoction and a cheesy bacon baked potato with a glop of Chobani plain and Vivid Chicken Original (GOAT).... that kind of little luxury (my favorite kind of luxury) is nice. It's like finding those Guy Fieri waters 50% off. The world has its moments.

...now if we could just have essenced water superstores.. (I mean Target exists, but you know what I mean lol)
