I don’t have an answer, I just wanted to say it blew my mind that I never thought about this

andrewf, in What salary do you think would make you happy?

I eat a lot of french fries. So maybe about 50lbs annually.

andrewf, in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

Cheerwine.

(Despite the name, it’s non-alcoholic.)

doubletwist, in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

A rarity, but Maine Root has(had?) a drink called “Pink Drink”, a carbonated Prickly Pear Lemonade. I had it at the Austin City Limits festival. It was, without a doubt the most refreshing drink I’ve ever consumed. I usually drink mostly water (free) at the festival, but that year we spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $60-80 just on cups of Pink Drink because we couldn’t get enough of it.

I really, really, REALLY wish they sold bottles of it, but as far as I can tell, it’s only occasionally available and only as a fountain drink.

aliceblossom, in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

Huge soda fan so picking just one is super hard but I’d say:

Oronamin C or Sweet Blossom’s Rose soda

Oronamin C is a Japanese soft drink with a taste that is often described as “drinking (American) Smarties”. It’s incredibly refreshing and delicious. Sweet Blossom is I think an eastern European beverage company and they make a rose flavored soda that is to die for. It has far and away my favorite quality of carbonation (very fine, soft bubbles).

Other honorable mentions include Ocean Bomb: Sailor Mercury (i.e. pear flavor), and as a big fan of cherry colas, Bawls Guarana Cherry Cola and Fentiman’s Cherry Tree Cola.

If you live in the UK, Lidl sells an excellent cola called Freeway. Their Freeway Zero is better than Pepsi Max or Coke Zero, IMHO, and literally one-fifth the price.

kense,

Lidl is German… You don’t have to live in the UK to visit a Lidl, they’re all around.

As for Freeway, I’ve previously tried it as a friend said it was better than Coca Cola. After a sip, I poured the rest into the drain. Not for me

Resol, in A time traveller comes back from 50 years in the future. You have 3 hours with them. What do you do?

Ask if an episode of Inanimate Insanity actually released on December 37, 2074. And no, I did not write that incorrectly by mistake. I actually meant to say December Thirty-Seventh.

Noodle07, in A time traveller comes back from 50 years in the future. You have 3 hours with them. What do you do?

Ask for the most recent version of dwarf fortress

Rakonat, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

To me, if they are contained to communities setup for AI generated images and there is some effort to mark or identify them as AI, I don’t mind them. Its when they get posted outside those spaces, especially posing as something someone made, that it gets very annoying.

afraid_of_zombies, (edited ) in Howard Zinn people's history of America, I'm reading it at the moment, is there any alternative?

Meh you might as well keep reading him. Fake history sells better than real history. He took his alternative facts, fit them into his model, and did it in an entertaining way. And this is of course justified because some history class somewhere supposedly was too cheerful.

Lets stop pretending that we care about what is true and what is not.

I don’t drink carbonated sugar, but I always enjoyed Coke’s superiority. Class.
