Death by Sprite?

I recently started a position at a new employer.  The employer provides soda machines that dispense product at no charge, a nice perk to the job. 

 

The machine on my floor of the building has the wide selection of Coke, Coke, Diet Coke, Dr Pepper, Fresca, and Sprite.  Not being a a big cola drinker and unable to stomach the taste of zero calorie soft drinks, I naturally gravitated towards the Sprite. 

 

After one week of moderate Sprite consumption, I was to the point that a single can of Sprite was toxic to the point of death.  While on another floor of the building I saw it had Mt Dew in a vending machine.  I promptly got two cans to take back to my desk. 

 

By the end of the afternoon-- just leave it to say-- my bowels had been "washed and flushed clean".  After THAT unpleasant experience Sprite never tasted so good...
