To me it seriously looks absolutely like fruit juice that has baking soda in it for some reason I'm not aware of - maybe health benefits? And if it didn't mention baking soda I would totally expect it to be fruit juice. But apparently it's a household cleaner, and there's also a watermelon version. WTF is wrong with the people who make this shit?

I fully understand the exchange students' confusion. There's nothing on the label that says or indicates it's a cleaner, and that's a plausible beverage container design.

Not gonna lie, from the thumbnail I thought it was a fruity drink too....

Even when looking at the picture, I still don't know what it is. I'm assuming soap based on the comments, but it's not obvious at all.

This is why people need consumer regulation. Bottles have one shape and soaps another

Oh that is, I also thought that was a drink, what the fuck?

What the fuck is a snickerdoodle

Never had one? It’s a somewhat common cookie variety that’s similar to a sugar cookie and has a cinnamon sugar topping.

No, is it an American thing? Sounds nice though.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It’s covered in sugar and made with a bunch of sugar. Of course it’s American!

Anyway, here’s a decent recipe if anyone wants to know what they look like or wants to make them.

They are my favorite cookie when warm, and like my 6th favorite cookie cold...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

If they're not great when cold, it's possible that the ones you're eating are overcooked. They're godly when perfectly cooked.

A sugar cookie that's been to college. Should be chewy and cinnamon flavored.

is this the soda you drink while baking food?

Time to pick up some Mr. Yuck stickers.

I have drank such an appetizer and I must say I do not understand what the fuss is all about. It is literally the thing you add to cake - "BAKING soda". You eat the cake and so you eat the baking soda that was added to it to make it BAKE. There is nothing remotely unhealthy about eating things meant for consumption.

Alright. A as table salt is very much meant for consumption and present in pretty much every food there is, you wouldn't mind backing up your statement by showing me how you eat a few large spoonfuls, since there's "nothing remotely unhealthy" about it, right?

I don't believe anyone that stupid could even find themselves to Lemmy so obvious ragebait is obvious ragebait, I just wish they'd be even a little better

I not only eat salt but I even bathe in it. I have recently bought "bathing salts". It is a special salt that not only can be added to meals but also it has second purpose as a relaxing bath additive.

Haters are going to hate me about the baking soda but I am fine and I felt zero negative effects. I don't know what's the fuss about eating a little extra of something that was already in your dessert anyway.

My brother says it is actually good for you and replenishes soda in your blood.

Are you twelve or schizphrenic? Because whatever you has which makes you think you're being funny is lying to you.

You can't eat a tablespoon of salt. You're not capable of doing that. End of story.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I don't know why you think I am joking, I have just said you everything I know about salts and their uses. Tablespoon for me is usually not enough to get through the working day anyway. I find that some bathing salt acts like coffee for me except a bit longer effect and I quite enjoy it.

Fabulous isn't a drink. It's a multi-purpose cleaner that you absolutely should not drink.
