"I agree that buying Fanta is alright to do because Nazi Germany ended a long time ago and there is no way that Coca-Cola has the same values as it did during WWII."

5Ben replied to 5Ben's discussion Why Fanta is a Soda for Nazis
"I feel that most people would be surprised that Fanta was made in Germany during WWII too. I also agree that Fanta shouldn't be judged for its past because they had to make it during that time."

5Ben replied to 3ava's discussion Pros and Cons of Having Sports Before or After School?
"In my opinion, I would rather have to practice after school because I would not be as tired as I would in the morning. I would also be much more prepared and ready to play than I would be in the morning because I didn't just wake up. For most…"

5Ben replied to 2Addi Wicks's discussion How does inflation effect our lives?
"In my opinion, inflation is a problem that needs to be fixed. For many, their pay is not increasing as much as inflation, and prices are getting more expensive. Even if certain things are only slightly increased in price, the slight price increase…"

5Ben replied to 2 Hayden's discussion Should teachers do more group projects?
" In my opinion, teachers should do more group projects, but they should let students pick their partners. I feel this way because group projects can be great when you have a team that works together. However, if you don't get to pick your partners,…"

"I agree that buying Fanta is okay because it was just good business to do what they did. What they did back then was more out of desperation rather than with malicious intent."

5Ben replied to 3Talia's discussion Should we listen to Christmas music before or after Thanksgiving?
"In my opinion, you should listen to Christmas music after Thanksgiving. I feel this way because then it is the next holiday you are preparing for. There are many good  Christmas songs, but Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer is an absolute certified…"

"I also do not regularly drink pop very often, I mostly drink water, but when I do I usually choose to drink the regular versions. I agree that pop can have way too much sugar or sodium and isn't the healthiest choice."

5Ben replied to 4Tobina's discussion Should Parents track their kids?
"In my opinion, most kids shouldn't need to be tracked if they follow the rules and curfews assigned to them. However, if a kid isn't following the curfews and the parents don't know where they are on many occasions, then having a tracking app can be…"

5Ben replied to 5Ben's discussion Why Fanta is a Soda for Nazis
"I agree that buying Fanta is fine to buy today even though it was founded during Nazi Germany because they have different values today than they did when it was created in Germany."

5Ben replied to 5Ben's discussion Why Fanta is a Soda for Nazis
"I agree that buying Fanta is still okay to do even though it was made in Germany During WWII because they didn't have any other choice to stay in business."

5Ben replied to 5Ben's discussion Why Fanta is a Soda for Nazis
"In my opinion, I like Sprite but my favorite soda would have to be Dr. Pepper. I do agree that purchasing Fanta is okay to do because it is a completely different time and it was a completely different company."

5Ben replied to 5Ben's discussion Why Fanta is a Soda for Nazis
"For me personally, I would prefer a Dr. Pepper as my favorite soda. Also, I agree that supporting Fanta by buying their products is okay because they aren't the same company they were during WWII."

Coca-Cola vs. Pepsi has been a long-debated topic for many, but what most people don’t know is how these companies adapt during times of war and how Fanta was created for Nazi Germany during WWII. In the 1920s, Coca-Cola expanded its business to…

5Ben replied to 2-8AlexN's discussion School lunch: Should it be improved
"In my opinion, I think that school lunches have a lot to improve upon. One of my biggest problems with school lunch is that most of the time, the food is cold because the food has been left out long enough between lunch periods. This wouldn't be a…"

5Ben replied to 6Micheal's discussion Should school start at a later time
"In my opinion, I like the fact that school starts at 8:00 in the morning. I feel this way because even though it would start later in the day, the ending time would also be pushed back an hour. This would not only ruin students' schedules, but it…"

5Ben replied to 6Micheal's discussion Should Homework exist?
"In my opinion, homework should be unfinished work that isn't completed during class. I don't think busy work should be assigned to students because it may help some students, but others may already have good knowledge on the topic, and it would just…"

5Ben replied to 4Kelsie's discussion Are e- cigarettes less harmful than smoking?
"In my opinion, they are both very harmful and addictive and you shouldn't smoke either. I feel that many think that e-cigarettes are more harmful because they are flavored, so they are more addictive to young people because of the flavor. We also…"

5Ben replied to 5 Paige's discussion Why is Christmas the most celebrated holiday?

5Ben replied to 6Dominic's discussion What are the pros and cons of stores having self check-out stations?
"In my opinion, self-check-outs are a good thing because you can usually buy your things much faster. This is because most people get in line for an employee to do it for them, but if you are in a rush, they can be much better. They are also almost…"

5Ben replied to 5Annabelle's discussion Is Panera Bread Being Rightfully Sued?
"In my opinion, I believe that Panera should be held liable for the deaths or damages that it causes. Having way too much caffeine in lemonade, not an energy drink, definitely is careless, especially if it isn't labeled correctly. Personally, I don't…"

5Ben replied to 5Henry's discussion Should The Government Pay For College Tuition?
"In my opinion, I do not think that the government should pay for everyone's college. I feel that a better option would be to put the money they would put in for free tuition, and make colleges that are free or at least very cheap. Obviously, they…"

5Ben replied to 4westin's discussion Tsunamis and how to prepare for them

5Ben replied to 6Emeri's discussion Are Books Better than the Movies?
"In my opinion, usually, the books are better than the movies. I feel this way because books go way more in-depth in the story, and only one author writes them. With a single person working on the story, it can be more focused and they can change…"

5Ben replied to 5Jack's discussion Do Nike Shoes Cause Injury For Runners?
"In my opinion, I think that the injuries are caused more by the lack of form or warm-ups, rather than the shoes. I feel that the runner is more important than the shoes even though they can benefit you, but it's not like you can outrun Usain Bolt…"

5Ben replied to 4Vylet's discussion Should timed tests be a thing?
