    Future generations will never experience making this stuff with too little water to create a mixer that hides the taste of cheap booze.

      My money is that someone will start pitching it as a green alternative. Dry / powered soaps are hot again because you’re not shipping and storing a bunch of water.

      If coke was smart, they would’ve put this green and brown tube, and called it “Juice, by Ecofruit”

        Energy wise it’s a wash whether it’s concentrated or not. Concentrated required reducing it down which is just boiling it down (under a vacuum apparently to reduce temps needed), and then freezing during transportation. Non-concentrated weighs more so more energy for transportation and more packaging, and still needs cooling. So they come out comparable afaik.

        Given the choice between Flint water and Coors Light, I’d take the Flint water, thanks.

            As someone who has only left the East Coast to visit Texas (primarily for the eclipse) and Mexico, I feel like I have to ask…

            Do the Rockies actually taste like donkey piss and sadness?

      Current generations including my own have already not had that experience.
