I know a girl who thinks of ghosts,

She’ll make you breakfast, she’ll make you toast.

But she don’t use butter.

And she don’t use cheese.

She don’t use jelly, or any of these.

She uses Coooooooooaaaaaal

I’m dying (from eating carcinogens?) from laughter here! Brilliant!

Thorry84 ,

Sounds like a NileRed video.

I wish he’d make a video on how to remove aspartame from diet soda and replace it with regular sugar so I can finally drink this stupid hard mountain dew I bought before I realized they idiotically ONLY released it in nasty zero sugar flavors

Thorry84 ,

I’m the exact opposite actually. I never liked the taste of regular coke, too sweet, so I’ve been drinking Diet Coke since I was a kid. Drink a couple of liters per week (although I’ve cut down since inflation has made it cost as much as liquid gold). I dislike the fake sweet flavor of Coke Zero, but I love the more refreshing taste of Diet Coke. It’s like sparkling water with caffeine.

I do realize the taste of Diet Coke varies quite a lot over the world, but in Western Europe it tastes perfect for me.

cm0002 ,

I like regular “Mexican” coke we have here in the states, ig Coca-cola reduces the sugar used in Latin-america or something.

But I can taste the aspartame immediately and it disgusts me. It doesn’t come across as a “sugar, but less sweet” it comes across as “Trying to be sugar but tastes like a metallic chemical compound instead”

Mexican coke has cane sugar instead of corn syrup, which is the main factor in it being better.

Thassodar ,

If only Coke would take a queue from Pepsi and release cane sugar versions nationwide, I was a big fan of the Pepsi real sugar.

BearOfaTime ,

HFCS, specifically, which is very different from corn syrup.

Corn syrup is about 60% as sweet as sugar, by weight. HFCS is more sweet by weight, (if I remember right), because of the concentration of fructose.

Margarine was synthesized as cattle food but deemed too unhealthy for them to eat.

expatriado ,

i am assuming they used some loose definition of nutritious

conciselyverbose ,

And “agreeable taste”.

Margarine is nasty and I can’t imagine that’s the best version of it.

TBH World War II was . . . kind of a bad time.

If you make it from coal it is vegan because coal is just plants. If it’s made from petroleum it is not vegan because it is made from dinosaurs.

tpihkal ,

Does that make China the most vegan energy producer in the world?

QuantumSparkles ,

China makes their fake cooking oil out of sewage

tpihkal ,

Technically they are collecting discarded cooking oil from gutters. Potato/potato.

Petroleum is also from plants/algea/bacteria/etc. All fossil fuels come non-animal living things things.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

made from dinosaurs

False, it’s from trees that grew, died, and fell down into piles and got buried, for millions upon millions of years, before anything on the planet evolved to eat their corpses.

Its both.

I_Has_A_Hat ,

It’s not.

homesweethomeMrL ,

I Can’t Believe It’s Not!™

Fondots ,

In general my understanding is coal was trees, oil was mostly algae and plankton, and mostly started forming well before the first true dinosaurs.

Technically some of that plankton would be considered animals, though probably not something you’d easily recognize as being an animal (side-note: I’d be curious to hear some vegetarians/vegans weigh in on the theoretical ethics of eating zooplankton)

I’m sure there’s some edge cases, traces of more complex animals and such getting mixed in with dead plankton, and at the end of the day carbon is carbon regardless of where it comes from

60kg of coal to make 1kg of margarine!

I don’t know the chemistry behind it, but I suspect even if I did I wouldn’t want to eat it

auzy ,

Given how many people here in Australia love to suck up to coal and petrol companies, I suspect they would want to

9point6 ,

Holy shit, one kilo of butter from 60kg of coal?!

That’s some pretty spenny butter for “agreeable taste”

“The Germans preferred Ersatz.”

(Or at least that’s how I remember that quote from Catch-22 when I read it 25 years ago…)

ironhydroxide ,

Especially when they had problems getting the coal they could mine, where it needed to be used.

They used something else instead…
