Don’t get distraced by this from the Epstein files
I’m not sure if this is fake or not
This. People have been using the phrase “post-satire world” for nearly a decade now, and it’s completely true.
On the one hand, this is an utterly ridiculous thing for the President of the United States to announce.
On the other hand, I’m 90% convinced that it is true.
Also Trump: I’m putting a 50% tariff on imports from the country that makes the majority of the world’s cane sugar (Brazil) because I’m angry that they’re punishing their fascist that attempted a coup.
This is the math. They assume that Coca Cola won’t raise prices, will import more sugar, raise tariff revenue, and they can have their cake and eat it, too.
Meanwhile, in reality, Coca Cola US already sells a kosher version with cane sugar for Passover every year. So they just keep doing that, bring 20 cases to the White House for a photo op, and maybe do a larger limited run with ads on Fox News for literally 1 day.
Once again, being an idiot has allowed T to negotiate a hard position and force someone to do something they already do.
Corn isn’t kosher?
I think it’s the highly processed part that isn’t? Im not entirely sure.
“Hell yeah! Make them pay for the border wall” -Conservatives… while also paying the 50% increase in Coke prices
“We’ve never spoke to this man.” - Coke
I’m sure the CEO got a call from the Whitehouse and had a brief, rambly word salad vomited at them over the phone, and replied diplomatically along the lines of “we will absolutely investigate that as a possibility” in much the same way you placate someone elses precocious child
More likely that Trump discussed real sugar in coke with some random person and his demented brain remembers it as the coke CEO.
Yeah, he’s definitely not trying to distract from the Epstein files…
I have peed on kids!I have peed on kids!

That’s a fun one to have in your comment history without context
Little surprise like a lordussy :)
Naughty naughty
I thought it was the other way 'round…?
Mexican coke tastes better because it uses slightly less sweetener and twice the amount of sodium. There’s a YouTube video by chemist George Zaidan that did a chemistry deep dive on the topic. The acidity of coke breaks down the cane sugar (sucrose) into fructose and glucose (which is the composition of HFCS). There is no difference in flavor between cane sugar and HFCS in acidic beverages, but there are often other differences in the recipes that improve taste. Most notably sodium content.
Huge if true. I have seen notes about the cane suggar difference many times but never the reveal that it turns into the same molecules.
Why does the Antifa cover up that information? (Downvoters, look at OP’s username)
“Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar doesn’t make sense,” said Corn Refiners Association President and CEO John Bode. "Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar would cost thousands of American food manufacturing jobs, depress farm income, and boost imports of foreign sugar, all with no nutritional benefit.”
Corn farmers heavily voted for Trump, but according to them they’re weak and stupid anyway, so now we just wait for the cost of Coke to jump due to importing sugar. ‘Course, he never said anything about Pepsi, so people just flock to the much cheaper Pepsi products and Coke goes under! Brilliant!
“Corn is life. Without corn in everything you consume, you will be sad and everyone will hate you. Drink delicious corn syrup for every meal.”
-President of the lobbying group the Corn Refiner’s Association
Jump? Have you bought soda recently in the store? I haven’t in years until my wife wanted some… Over 3 bucks for a 2 liter, and a 12 pack is over 10 bucks…
Last time I looked it was about 2 bucks for a 2 liter… And that upset me because I remember when that shit was less than a dollar and I’m not even that old…
Anyway
I just get the supermarkets own brand of it. I’m mixing it with enough rum that you can’t tell the difference.
Yup, I remember when 20oz bottles were $.69 and they gave out free ones with a cap. I mean, there was gambling involved in the advertising, but shit, even back then, that price was nothing. These days, even with my well paying job, a coke is 15 minutes worth of work.
Well, it’ll probably be a “new” version of coke with cane sugar instead of HFCS. New is in quotes because they already sell that product. They’ll take the existing product, call it Trump Coke, or something, and sell it for four times the price.
Still in plastic bottles.
Pepsi already has a cane sugar variant they sell at the same price.
I think its saying something when this is easily the best thing hes actually done as president.
He does anything to distract from the Epstein files. And his other failures.
Now I’m not saying that the em dash means it’s LLM or at least not him, but I am saying I doubt he knows about it. The spacing is wrong, though, so maybe it is his work.
LLMs are a form of artificial intelligence, Trump lacks intelligence so it can’t be
You see surely the fact that Donald Trump is able to move around and find food seems to suggest that AI could be conscious. Since the bar seems to be quite low.
would you arrange that bacteria are conscious?
A May report by the MAHA Commission, a panel convened by Trump and tasked with identifying the root causes of chronic disease, said substantial consumption of high-fructose corn syrup could play a role in childhood obesity and other conditions.
…
Won’t the corn-growers be ticked off by this?
Are we pretending that is something he cares about?
Considering he thinks the people that voted for him are stupid losers, he probably doesn’t care.
also weak
I’m so used to him being wrong about everything he says that it feels weird when he’s right.
One can hope so.
Looks like somebody’s been buying up stakes in sugar cane production. Didn’t they used to produce sugarcane on Epstein’s Island?
Epstein? Are you still talking about him? /s
