If you cant make it out, it reads, “Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.”

hoo boy

As others are trying to point out: You get Type II diabetes from drinking too much Pepsi, not Type I (or “Juvenile”).  Juvenile Diabetes is an auto-immune disorder which has nothing to do with lifestyle.  The JDRF raises money for research on Type I.  Joke’s (kinda) on you Internet.

I actually reblogged this because I wish that the JDRF would take some time to make the public more aware of the difference.  While we’re at it, why doesn’t the ADA take the time to do this, too?  They’re supposed to be researching and helping with both types, right?  I hear there’s a move afoot to change the name of Type I entirely.

Regardless of nomenclature, Type I, Type II, and people without diabetes should all avoid the Mega Jug.  Pretty funny.
