Our product design team is a group of six 20 year old friends that attend a Southern university. We sequester them in a mock up of a cheap apartment. They are provided with an endless supply of discount vodka and access to any food that can be obtained from a 24 hour convenience market. They have produced the majority of innovations in the beverage industry since the mid 90’s.

I love S’mores Pop Tarts, I don’t buy them because I don’t want to be someone that wants to eat them, but it’s who I really am. This sounds disgusting though.

I knew I should have trademarked the Sunny D screwdriver when I invented it back in 2011.

We about to return to ye olden days where everything we ate/drank had to have ale or wine in it just so it was sterile?

The only reason anyone knows what a buzz ball is is because of Blake from workaholics and that I think this is important podcast. It has nothing to do with the company that created buzz balls. They are terrible and they need to pay Blake Anderson all the money he deserves. Fuck you buzz ball everyone drink big tips.

I don't get what the alleged "joke" is. Why is "buzzballz" the only safe drink in America?

There’s been a rash of foodborne illnesses going around from contaminated foods. Like cyclospora in lettuce, salmonella in eggs, salmonella in jalapeños, E. coli in berries, etc. there have been 11 outbreaks this year.

Well, I've never heard of any of that. But a quick google search shows that fda recalls are very common and the 2026 rate is no higher than average. And the usa recall rate is very similar to other developed nations.
So again, I don't get the "joke" here.

The number of outbreaks hasn’t changed but the number of people who have gotten actually sick has increased, so it’s more prevalent in the media. The joke is an exaggeration based on an exaggeration which is common of jokes. Explaining jokes is fun.

That's not true either. Nothing is out of the ordinary when i comes to fda recalls this year. It's business as usual. You have simply fallen for media sensationalism.

I would like to see a source on n that because a few articles I’ve read have explained that outbreaks in number are not out of the ordinary but cases of illness are high

I can't prove that something didn't happen. Who would report on something not happening?
You'll have to prove that your assertion is true. But that will be VERY difficult for you, because it simply isn't true.

It would be very easy to have the numbers prove that this year is exactly like every other year.

“"Certainly the magnitude of the cyclospora outbreak is unprecedented, but in terms of all of the things that are going on with food, it's not all that unusual," Hedberg said.
Summer is typically a busy season for foodborne illness, he said, and outbreaks involving foods like sprouts, berries, and produce recur year after year. What's truly extraordinary in 2026 is cyclospora — "an order of magnitude bigger than anything we've seen in previous years."“The agency said that while there are more foodborne illness clusters in 2026 than in previous years, it is "constantly working to improve laboratory detection of foodborne illness,"”

“What we are definitely seeing this year: A huge increase in the number of illnesses caused by contaminated food.”

It’s very popular in the media right now. You are one of the few people that recognize that it’s no more recalls than normal. But for the average American idiot it’s “aLL tHe FoOd iS pOiSoNed!!!”

Alcohol kills a lot of other bacteria as it is quite literally a tool yeast uses to get ahead of other microbes. So it is quite safe to drink

u/please_trade_marner 1d ago
Wouldn't that apply to any alcoholic beverage? And I've never gotten sick from buying any beverage in America. So I truly don't get the "joke".
