On my way to work, I see the most disgusting thing every day

By that I mean a man in his late 20s eating slurpees in his car every day. Literally every time I drive by the spot, he's there, in the same car, usually with a different flavour in his hand. I've been driving by him for 12 months now. So that's 260 slurpees he's had just in the time that I've personally seen him. If we assume he doesn't do this on weekends, and that there are 365 days in a year, that's a total of ~750 slurpees a year. With each month, I find myself judging him more and more. He's all out of the thing I hate the most, which is frugality. And yet, I also get that I don't know anything about this dude. Maybe he's unemployed or uneducated or just trying to enjoy life. Maybe his day is so bad that he needs comfort food. <br><br>What I do know, however, is that he's not doing himself any favours with that lifestyle. Each slurpee is 340 calories, 91 grams of sugar, and a shit tonne of salt. So if we go back to those numbers from before (750 per year), that's 255000 calories, 68250 grams of sugar, and 3750 grams of salt every year. This is an entire years worth of daily sugar intake for a man, and 142 years worth of salt. <br><br>I don't know, maybe it doesn't even affect him but he looks like a very unhealthy guy. Just seeing him every day made me want to know how bad it was, that's why I crunched all these numbers.
