We Americans love our soda far more than our friends around the world.
I had sticker shock when I went to Italy a couple weeks ago and if I ordered a soda at a restaurant, I'd pay 3-4 euros and get a tiny 8 oz can.
In America, at a restaurant, if you order a soda, it's $2-4, and you'll usually get a 12 or 16 oz cup and get free refills.
At least I stick to the Diet/Zero-Sugar varieties so I'm keeping the calories down.
