    Twist, it is just regular milk, because milk is already freaky and fucked up.

    Next time you drink milk, just imagine suckling on an animal breast. For most of you that would be disgusting (for some of you, please don’t imagine it)

    Friends was in a supermarket the other day. He bought an item labelled “Liquid Death”.

    What the product actually was is something he never buys because he never needs it, but because of the fantastically insane name of the product he said he just had to buy it!

    That product? The one named Liquid Death?

    Do you want to know what it was?

    It was a 12 pack of 500ml cans of water

    This kind of marketing works, kids. Something so unexpected you just have to buy it!

      IIRC liquid death also has some very good policies.

      And it was originally created because drinking water isn’t cool, and musicians in bands wanted something to drink that looked like energy drinks or alcohol while staying hydrated. They mentioned bands filling empty monster cans with water as an inspiration.

        I saw 6 bands during 2 concerts last week, three of them kinda rock/blues, three of them metal. All of them drank water from normal water bottles while on stage. No one cared.

        Only in America does the coolness of drinking water ever factor into anything, coca cola successfully brainwashed the entire country lol

          “Only in America” meaning the United States or the Americas or just North America?

          I’m asking because there is a city in Mexico that drinks more Coca-Cola than water.

            Yeah, but at least they have high sugar warnings on their beverages, so it’s likely nothing compared to what the US does with the only metric measured bottles available in the region (which are typically much cheaper too).

              Also they actually use sugar. The United States imports Mexican Coca-Cola.

                  Well first off instead of answering with a couple words, you decide to insult my intelligence and talk about how valuable your time us. So you are lying and your time isn’t valuable at all.

                  Second, note this is Lemmy is internationally open. Look up the term “America” and what it can refer to.

                  Third if I describe something and it fits your description, than why would I be illogical for just asking a question of what are you referring?

                  Do you not see the flaw to your logic?

          I think it’s more beer than coke. It’s also for like drinking with friends and not standing out if you don’t like alcohol but the rest do.

          Edit: maybe I should say also for alcohol rather than more for alcohol.

      I would never buy bottled water either, but I do have an unopened can of liquid death standing around because it’s such a fantastic can. Guests do ask me about it, or pick it up, sometimes. It’s always disappointing to them and that’s what I feed on.

      Liquid Death isn’t bottled, it’s canned. They’re whole gimmick is “death to plastic” which is a little ironic considering that aluminum cans have a plastic lining.

      Still, it’s a great product. They’ve eliminated 99.9% of the plastic, so I think the slogan still works.

          Yeah! All aluminum cans have a thin plastic lining. So do soup cans. They’re still both better than plastic packaging, but it just shows how difficult it is to completely remove plastic from your life.

          I drink a lot of beverages that come in aluminum cans so I am reaaaally hoping that they have less microplastic risk than 100% plastic packaging does.

      No joke, their Dr Pepper imitation is delicious and 10 calories per can.

      They also have an iced tea called Death to Billionaires which I appreciate.

        In essence, yes. It fills a small niche and a can isn’t as bad as a plastic bottle but in the end it’s water in a can.

          It would be far less wasteful to set up the logistics for something refillable. Expensive initially, but once the logistics and the culture for it have been developed, cheaper too.

      Between that and the “100% Grass” half-and-half next to it…I gotta check out the dairy case at my dispensary. Usually they just have ice cream.

      THC infused coffee creamer would make for the best hippie speedball.

        I’ve done that by simmering milk with the ABV and straining. It’s a little barbaric but it does work.

        Details shmetails. A teat is a teat. Would you prefer “mammary milk” to be technically correct?

      It is pretty weird though I personally love cheese which is even more grim. That being said, do you know that milk probably developed from sweat? That makes it even weirder imo.
