    I found out that the taste of Dasani changes depending on where you are.

    In California/Nevada it tastes like I’m sniffing an open sewer. Up north, it’s perfectly inoffensive.

        Coke is secretly tap water + carbonated syrup.

          Coca-Cola is an evil company. But it’s still fucking crazy to me that the company became so successful that it’s product at one point was the most recognizable/understood word in the world behind OK is just selling bubbly sugar water at an absurd markup.

          I also have complicated feelings about their old antique merch because I know it’s effectively propaganda, but I think it looks really cool and my grandmother had a lot of it around her house

              I’m from Atlanta, trust me I know all the terribleness, doesn’t change that I think it aesthetically looks cool and it’s tied to my memory of a nice lady I never really got to know because Alzheimer’s

                some terrible things have great aesthetics, of course. and coca-cola spent a century engraining itself into nostalgia, not surprised it clicks.

                  The fucking nazis actually come to mind, Hugo Boss knows how to cut fabric

                  Edit: to be clear I’m not saying wearing SS uniforms would be acceptable but I also think there’s a bit of space between that and having an antique coke machine for the look

      its literally just tap water straight from a water main, that they basically don’t pay for.

      Where I live, the taste has that sort of La Croix thing going on where it tastes like the bottle sat open adjacent to a sewer. Smells alright, but when I taste it it makes me ಠ_ಠ

    Any water snobs out there who have a favorite filter?

    Tried something like this and it was absolutely godly:

    Do you reckon humour is ever used as an advanced torture resistance tactic? A very morbid thought, but I now wonder if anyone has ever made their torturers crack up to make them fond of their victim, in order to escape.
