Reminds me of that "how much sawdust can you put in rice krispies before someone notices" thing.

[-] RevolverSly@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

The piss and pink hair make reference to Belle Delphine's bath water sale, right?

[-] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

It had just been long enough that I forgot about that shit. Now you had to go and remind me.

I return the favor.

THE GAME

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Authentic horseco piss or the imitation shit

[-] dx1@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

Honestly, there's some HFCS bullshit, but mostly storebought lemonade seems to be just lemon juice and cane sugar.

[-] wieson@feddit.org 3 points 6 days ago

Because of food safety regulations

[-] dx1@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

Food safety regulations don't ban dilution.

[-] wieson@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

I don't wanna get into a fight over this, but they do regulate dilution. At least where I'm from.

It can only be called "juice" if it has got at least x% of juice in it. If it's made from concentrate, it says so on the front.

Companies mustn't lie about the percentage of juice content and all ingredients are listed on the back in order of content.

In the UK, there's a sugar tax, so that's another form of regulation.

Customers may decide whether they want to buy 25% or 100% juice, but this competition only works because of the rules I listed.

[-] dx1@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

Lemonade in particular is very low % juice. Dunno exactly but probably above 10% it starts tasting too strong.

[-] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 84 points 1 week ago

The piss one would probably sell alot actually...

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

Depends whose piss is advertised.

As shown by the fact that people buy beer made in the US

[-] kn33@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Spoken like someone that's never had U.S. beer that isn't one of the mass produced ones like Miller, Bud, etc.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

The craft brew movement was great right up until it got a bit too successful. Now a bunch of the indies have been gobbled up. Anheuser-Busch InBev has bought up Goose Island, Elysian, Devils Backbone, and Karbach, just to name a few of note.

Sapporo famously bought up century-old Anchor Brewery during COVID, tried to convert their steam-beer brewing equipment into Japanese style production, failed, and ended up shuttering the plant.

Then you've got the Sam Adams and Coors success stories, which ultimately ended up becoming more of the same big labels. If you've ever actually been to Boston or Denver, you can still get the more traditionally made beers and they're miles ahead of the generic crap distributed nationally.

[-] kn33@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

In the Midwest there's still lots of local breweries that are good

[-] BetaBlake@lemmy.world -2 points 1 week ago

Oh American beer is piss, haven't heard that tired joke before. You should try different beer that isn't Coors or miller sometime

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

Do they do factory tours?

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

As long as you called it Trump Piss.

[-] qaz@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

This is completely absurd, why would they want to make the straws last longer?

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 days ago

Use paper straws for greenwashing, people complain that they're shit, they add in the chemicals

[-] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

Because then you'd really have to suck to enjoy capitalist cost cutting lemonade.

[-] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week ago

where's the lemonade stand that has a side hustle of nuclear/chemical waste disposal?

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 69 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's not dilluted so much as, this cheap cancer inducing chemical can flavor it strongly for not much money... But we know it's associated with cancer... Good thing we own the FDA too.

.... and then they make a lot of money.

[-] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 36 points 1 week ago

There should be a third panel with text from this HB comment:

Even more reality:

Capitalist 1: I launched a fascist coup in el salvador to gain easier access for tropical fruits

Capitalist 2: I cut away all my lemonade production to invest in AI

[-] nialv7@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

that "original" is translated from somewhere as well. did this meme go full circle?!

[-] randint@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 2 points 5 days ago

I believe the English one is the original. The "original" one (the one in Chinese) was probably translated from English.

[-] SwampYankee@mander.xyz 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I couldn't help myself...

Edit - probably should have left "Reality:" in. See revised meme below.

[-] renzev@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

To all the people downvoting: plastering the political compass in contexts where it makes no fucking sense is a kind of ironic humor meant to highlight the reductive nature of judging political ideology by two axes. It's a shitpost, and a top-tier one at that.

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 10 points 6 days ago

- Immanuel Kant, Critic of the political compass shitposts

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

I think it's more like

Red: State owned brewery is best

Blue: I diluted mine for more profit

Green: mine is just piss (horny)

Yellow: mine is just piss (no sanitation laws)
