Coke & Straw

So one of my inspiring MFP buddies just told me that if you drink your coke through a straw you consume less calories. If this is the case can't I just try sipping everything through a straw?? Ohhh the possibilities!!!!!!!

    I prefer to use a $100 bill as a vehicle for my coke... but to each their own.

    I tried sipping my salad through a straw but all I did was choke on the piece of shredded carrot that got sucked up in it. :frown:

    Late to the party much?

    I order two Big Macs, 2 large fries, throw it in a blender, add a bit of water (gotta get those 8 glasses!) and just blend the *kitten* out of it.

    Cuts the calorie count down by 75 percent.

    Maybe you should get one of those big straws from those Burger King oreo Flurries. Those suckers are big.

    This is amazing! And to think I thought I would never be able to eat fast food again. Whoot.

    Beer through a straw...I always heard you got drunk quicker doing that. Not sure why THAT would be, cuz I sure can guzzle a little beer. Just sayin'. ;)

    Also, what about those fun, twirly straws we had when we were kids....would that make it LESS calories, cuz the straw is LONGER?? Food for thought..... ;)

    It changed my life. I lost 325 lbs doing this. It works on ALL fast food. For serious.

    Makes sense (the coke part not the sipping through straw) depends on where you live. We call soda coke over here so thats all I expected LOL

    A MFP friend also told me that if you stack two cheeseburgers together, your body will only think you're eating one.

    That's why I put TWO Big Macs in my blender. Double up.

    I always drink my vodka thru a straw, don't know about the calories getting lowered. But I'm sure I work some extra muscles. LOL. And I ALWAYS most admittedly get very drunk doing it!

    :sick:

    No, see, you have it all wrong. If you suck your coke up through a straw (or 100 dollar bill, or platinum engraved straw), then you are officially jacked up and dont want to eat, and too damn broke to afford taco bell........ Oh, wait, you meant soda........ no...... I don't think that is accurate at all.
