      This is completely absurd, why would they want to make the straws last longer?

    It’s not dilluted so much as, this cheap cancer inducing chemical can flavor it strongly for not much money… But we know it’s associated with cancer… Good thing we own the FDA too.

    … and then they make a lot of money.

      There should be a third panel with text from this HB comment:

      Even more reality:

      Capitalist 1: I launched a fascist coup in el salvador to gain easier access for tropical fruits

      Capitalist 2: I cut away all my lemonade production to invest in AI

      To all the people downvoting: plastering the political compass in contexts where it makes no fucking sense is a kind of ironic humor meant to highlight the reductive nature of judging political ideology by two axes. It’s a shitpost, and a top-tier one at that.

      I think it’s more like

      Red: State owned brewery is best

      Blue: I diluted mine for more profit

      Green: mine is just piss (horny)

      Yellow: mine is just piss (no sanitation laws)
