Anyway America please do this, make and sell squash, it's a lot less plastic and a lot less weight to truck around on lorries to have a nice fruity drink, but also please don't make it fucking disgusting and 100% undrinkable thx

Legit remembering seeing Facebook memes about the ingredients of these, I don't know what Americans call them but they're like our micro-bottles of squash IDK "water enhancers" or some shit like that, anyway memes about how they're full of shitty chemicals and they'll make your bum fall off or whatever, and I remember thinking "This is propaganda, the likes of coke and pepsi make a whole lotta money transporting fucking MOSTLY WATER in trucks and they don't wanna give that up, they're fighting Big Pipe and Big Small Juice Bottle and this is how they're doing it 'cause they want to sell you the water with the flavouring," no turns out they really are full of shitty chemicals and furthermore they taste like ass and my new hot take is that these little bottles are managed opposition, making something taste this bad isn't something you do on accident
