This will go well with his tariff plan considering the US imports 40% of its cane sugar currently, and this would send demand through the roof.

Oh and the countries it's imported from are some of the top tariff countries.

Nothing makes sense...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.

Anything to distract from the previous mess-up.

The most out of touch bullshit I ever saw was that post. Nobody over the age of 25 who isn’t morbidly obese still drinks coke enough to give a shit about what kind of sugar they use. We want the Epstein shit you promised you pedophile goof ass chud.

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

I am in my 30s, a healthy weight, and cane sugar is much better than HFCS, for both flavor and health reasons.

I'm over 25 and am not obese. I would rather enjoy getting to have real sugar coke. Can't find the Mexican bottles being sold too often.

A broken clock is still right twice a day. Trump getting sodas swapped to real sugar is a favorable outcome.

It's also not something he needs to be worried about. It's like an abusive stepfather taking you to get ice cream. Yeah sure ice cream is nice or whatever but there are clearly more important things to be doing and worrying about

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 12 hours ago

Well most of the other things he wants to be focused on fuck us over, so if he spends any time putting into half useless bullshit it means I'm just glad he's spending even a moments less time on anything else.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 22 hours ago

I mean don’t get me wrong, it’s a good start, but maybe we should focus on getting corn syrup out of things like fucking bread first. I was kind of hoping RFK would focus more on this aspect of his dementia and less on the vaccine and autism stupidity. But I should have known it was going to be the stupidest possible outcome.

[–] sudo@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

Its blatantly contemptuous but not 'out of touch'. His base would be hooting over this if they weren't pissed at him over Epstein.

American coca cola tastes vile even if you drink it once in your life.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The most American drink ever

I thought that was Mountain Dew, which was originally produced as a whiskey mixer in Appalachia, looks like battery acid, and I'm pretty sure made my piss green once.

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I tried it once (I'm on a different side of the planet basically), default flavor, and it was so mid. I don't understand how they got so big.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 22 hours ago

Massive caffeine content and acquired taste, also the additional flavors are mostly good.

Am I missing something about coke, like a recent rant on Shitter? Pretty weak meme if there's nothing besides the fact that he eats and drinks crap.

Wow, one of maybe two things I agree with in this administration (the other being removing artificial food dyes from food). Broken clock or something.

[–] StarPupil@ttrpg.network 3 points 20 hours ago

Can't wait to not need to buy the glass bottle version of coke for the cane sugar and also hopefully have him straight up lose half his base over the Epstein denial! Fingers crossed!

[–] 0li0li@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I had, cheers!

[–] Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

He announced hes asking them to bring back real sugar in coke

[–] 0li0li@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

:facepalm:

Thanks for the update I guess lol

I dunno, but that is one of the most punchable faces in history.

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

The US gets half its sugar from sugar beets.

This is fuckin stupid.

[–] AstaKask@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Beet sugar is the only Christian sugar. I don't mess with heathen palm, cane or corn.

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 2 points 4 hours ago

Cane sugar is catholic, beet sugar is protestant, corn sugar is mormon.

[–] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Oh shit! I’ve been living in sin

[–] sudo@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Only would happen if he slashes corn subsidies which would be way dumber than the tariffs he first proposed.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 22 hours ago

Why? Slashing the corn subsidies would be good.

[–] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Trump and his friends have been buy cane futures. He doesn’t give a shit about Americans
