Yes, because when I'm relaxing at the end of the day I NEED those hydrating electrolytes!!! White Claw: IT'S GOT WHAT PLANTS CRAVE!!!

Idiocracy was a utopia compared to what we're in store for. They had health care, an environment that wasn't actively killing them, and a president that actually wanted to solve problems.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

......I really hate how you put this in perspective.

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I dunno, their environment could have been as bad as ours, and Biden perhaps "wants" to solve things but... Congress is what passes laws (same as that one - he asked people to do things and it was like talking to a brick wall, the difference being that bc it is a Hollywood movie, it was constrained to HAVE to show a good outcome). Good point about the healthcare - I forgot if it was socialized or for-profit in the show.

As another reply brought up though:

Slowly?

Good point, it's like we are doing a speed-run at this point... good grief! :-(

I guess there really was/will be a time machine somewhere.

That documentary got here somehow, after all.

If it has 15 calories it can't be just water. Maybe they removed alcohol, but it looks like everything else (possibly additional stuff to maintain similar taste was added) was kept.

[–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Sugar. It’s gonna be sugar.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was drinking Liquid Death for a while because I really liked their Mango Chainsaw seltzer and then one day I looked at the ingredients and found out why. They put agave nectar in it to sweeten it. They're doing similar things here.

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What you expected to be there?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No sweetener at all like the other seltzers.

[–] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

I've never had one. I know it says white claw but which animal's claw is white does it taste like? I'm not a animalogist so they might be expecting a little too much from me as a potential consumer.

Do they squeeze the juice out of each claw or do they just blend them all together like animal bones in pet food?

White Claw, the thirst mutilator: It's got electrolytes! It's what plants crave!

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

It’s what douchebags crave.

No, it's non-alcoholic White Claw. Which is better than seltzer, somehow, so it's more expensive.

[–] effward@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's 15 calories "better" than seltzer.

Seems like a weird move. The soda water/seltzer market has gotten crowded in the last few years.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think they're trying to appeal to the non-alcoholic beer crowd, which is having its moment.

[–] effward@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Right, but non-alcoholic beer is good, because it tastes like hoppy goodness without the alcohol or calories.

Whereas white claw does not taste good, and this has more calories than many (better) seltzers (which already don't have alcohol). So it seems like a weird move.

I assume they are just banking on their name recognition generating some sales, but I hope people go for some of the better options from smaller companies!

Can't wait to buy white claw branded flavoring for my soda stream

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Makes non-alcoholic White Claw from SodaStream'd water and syrup

Adds alcohol

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Now you're making me wonder about the potential of non-alcoholic White Claw as a mixer.

[–] Uranium3006@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like to add vodka to it and call it "normal white claw"

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Honestly that'd be "white claw +"

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 9 points 2 years ago

I’m not buying some shit product without a picture of Mr Beast on it so I know it’s not a grift.

[–] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I know so so many people who have gone Cali sober, including myself. It's a particularly silly brand to see try to have a NA option but I'm also not suprised to see it based on my own anecdotal experiences of the market

[–] Uranium3006@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

weed's better anyways

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

But look at those colours!! Inno-fucking-vation!

someone wake up Gorbachev

[–] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

It's so people can be in a social context without others asking them to drink constantly. It's not innovation but it isn't a useless product. It has a real world purpose.

[–] Prethoryn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Guys,

It's a fucking can of liquid. Smartwater is doing the same thing with water. Are you really that fucking surprised that you think capitalism is surprising for a popular drinks among young people, which might I add you is actually good and better than drinking other shit people drink out of a can. I am talking about beer drinkers from a can.

If this is another option for someone not to drink then give it to them. The rest of you need to find something better to do with your lives.
