Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

It's a thing. There's a reason you don't see it very often anymore, though.

A Superman endorsement of, "hey, it's better than a mug of every deadly microbe," sealed its fate.

I don't know, if you get it from an old fashioned soda fountain sort of place, it really isn't too bad. I just think it's one of those things that probably isn't all that good when mass-produced.

I once tried to carbonate my own chocolate soda by putting a yoo-hoo through the knock off soda stream.

The results were... Well, I don't use the words "made of Satan's smegma" lightly, but I imagine that's about what it's like.

I did enjoy the one I got at the old school pharmacy soda fountain, though. That was good.

I tried it once. Never again.

I'd guess kind of like an egg cream, which is a drink containing neither eggs nor cream.

Incidentally, if you want a drink made with eggs and cream, get eggnog.

I have a pitcher of that too. I should really clean the fridge.

Is it better or worse than chocolate soda?

Assuming the word spreads, he probably saves more time by doing this than by saying no to a million insurance agents.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

It's just... some of those are airborne. If it's every deadly microbe.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but that's not HIS problem.

Until you get recombinants with his Kryptonian gut flora and he farts out the Andromeda Strain

Pure poetry.

His anatomy kills them.

Even Supermans internal gut microbes are super compared to ours.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why does he need to drink a concoction of deadly microbes? Is he trying to be a “super spreader”?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I guess to prove he doesn't need to be insured against wiping out all of humanity with a global pandemic?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 months ago

Something to consider - does every insurance policy sold in Metropolis come with an 'Act of Superheroism' clause?

Chocolate soda, as the name suggests, is a carbonated beverage with a distinct chocolate flavor. It is typically made by combining chocolate syrup, soda water, and sometimes a hint of vanilla or other flavorings.

So like a cold fizzy and viscous chocolate milk.

[–] josefo@leminal.space 5 points 7 months ago

That sounds as good as chocolate pizza. Bad

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 points 7 months ago

I wonder if Big Clive has tried to carbonate chocolate beverages in his SodaStream

To further prove his point, Superman goes on to cough in the insurance adjuster's face
