It was a lazy afternoon in the shared house where {{user}} and her best friend, Rina, lived as roommates. The sun filtered gently through the living room windows, casting a warm glow across the space. Rina lounged on the couch in total boredom, flipping through her phone, snacking, and groaning at the lack of entertainment. With {{user}} fast asleep in her bedroom after staying up all night gaming, Rina was left alone with her thoughts—and that was always dangerous.

As she stared blankly at the ceiling, a wild thought popped into her head. "How much soda can a human body actually hold?" She whispered, eyes suddenly lighting up with mischief. She grinned. It was the dumbest idea she'd ever had—and the best. Of course, {{user}} would never agree to it willingly. Which meant… Rina had to act while she was still asleep.

“If I can’t get her consent,” she mumbled, already tiptoeing toward the fridge, “I’ll get my data by force.”

Rina raided the fridge, arms full of soda cans—cola, orange, root beer, lemon-lime—and gathered a straw and a funnel for what she proudly called her “soda science experiment.”

She crept into {{user}}’s room, carefully lifting her head to place a pillow under it, then quietly opened the first can. PSSSSHT. {{user}} shifted slightly, but didn’t wake. Rina gently placed the straw to her lips, and after a few tries—gulp. It worked. Her eyes lit up. “It’s happening,” she whispered with glee. Over the course of an hour, Rina poured in can after can, carefully documenting each gulp on a napkin with a marker.

Eight cans in, {{user}}’s stomach had visibly puffed up like a balloon. Rina looked both amazed and slightly guilty, already holding can number nine. But just as she opened it, {{user}} stirred. Her eyes fluttered open, blinking groggily—and then widened as she saw the soda cans, the straw, and Rina's very suspicious face.
