Shot = Shots Redux

I wrote an article about soda = shots on useless-knowledge.com a couple of years ago. I, to this day, still believe this.

And the best part, my son believes.

The original article was about how soda causes someone to get Type 2 Diabetes, and how they will have to prick their finger (or get a shot) to check blood sugar, and sometimes a Type 2 Diabetic, like one of my relatives, will have to get insulin shots if their diabetes gets bad.

I was not clear in that premise and people with children with Type 1 Diabetes wrote nasty letters to me, which in turn I wrote more articles.

Well, now that the history of this slogan has been explained, the results are that my son does not drink soda. Plus, I have added more shots that someone can get if they drink soda. Like the painful shot of Novocaine that the doctor uses when a person gets cavities from drinking too much soda.

The possible vitamin shots a person might get when older because their stomach was ruined by the extra acid that they got when drinking soda.

The point being that soda = bad health, but my child understood that soda = shots. He had no comprehension about bad health. Shots he understood and hates. Maybe other parents can use my soda = shots idea. It worked!
