It Figures—7:19 PM
Of course they would announce that sugar is a deadly poison the one week Coke goes on mega-sale.

Yes, according to Robert "Damn you, sugar!" Lustig, those boxes will eventually serve as your coffin. Enjoy!

In my defense, the sale only comes a few times a year, so I have to stock up! (And, as Santa shows, I didn't even finish the entire stack from the last sale, so technically I'm curtailing my intake!)

There's still sugar in Coke? I thought it was all high fructose corn syrup. Which will still kill you, but – I... uh... my point was...

If they'd panned the camera over just a bit, by the way, we would have seen something like this when they were going through Kevin Spacey's apartment in SE7EN.

Except it would have been drab olive-y green instead of cheery and red. Fincherburn!
I read that article (27% of it, at least!) and it seems like it's the fructose in sugar that makes it kill you and turn your children into dirty hippies. So, HFCS is implicated by association, even though apparently it's bad in different ways.
As usual, this explanation didn't fit into a tidy quip, so I had to hedge a little. I've always said, it would be a lot easier to write monologue jokes if you could put asterisks in them.*
*I've never said this.

Jeebus. You haven't become Kevin Smith now, have you?

Nope, just planning ahead. I haven't been kicked off an airplane for overflowing my seat yet!
