He's not fat! He's big boned!

[-] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

Too much sugar consumption.

[-] lettruthout@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

That would be about $0.55 now.

[-] Denalduh@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

I just looked up my local grocery store and they have individual pouches listed for $0.59 each. I'm honestly surprised it's still that close!

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I get them 3 for a dollar here in Cali at certain stores.

Neither is water. Or the pitcher you have to put it in.

Let's also factor in the cost of the calories you need to burn when you're mixing it.

I wonder what artificial coloring they used for that particular shade of green back then?

[-] BilSabab@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

literal pulverized dollars - it's a money drink, man!

[-] satanmat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

What the hell “flavor “ is that supposed to be???

[-] BilSabab@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

the flavor of MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Probably lime. I can't think of what else it could be.

Go to the grocery store and look for something that looks like a green lemon. That's what a lime is.

[-] satanmat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Sure ; lime was my first thought. But that’s maybe just the photo but it looks awfully opaque… like ?milky? Ew …

Fungus. Kool aid puts the fun in fungus.

[-] satanmat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Ah yes. Harvested from the finest green they could find. Raised and ripened under the tropical sun and freshly dehydrated and ground to preserve it.
