To be fair, it does look tasty as fuck.
I don’t know this brand and ngl if I saw that on a kitchen table there is a pretty good chance I’d drink it too. That is downright irresponsible label design.
Say you don’t live in the western United States without saying it lol
Do you not think we have fabuloso on the east coast or?
Like and share if you arent a twice-divorced 55 year old orthodontist with a big heart, no attention span, four kids: two humans, two dogs, and a serious addiction to wakeboarding and crystal meth.
Most people in the world don’t
I know it will come as a surprise to you, but by far the majority of people on the internet does not come from there. They don’t even come from the United States at all, western or not.
Your point is?
Being one of those ppl who think the internet is made of USA citizen
To me it seriously looks absolutely like fruit juice that has baking soda in it for some reason I’m not aware of - maybe health benefits? And if it didn’t mention baking soda I would totally expect it to be fruit juice. But apparently it’s a household cleaner, and there’s also a watermelon version. WTF is wrong with the people who make this shit?
Time to pick up some Mr. Yuck stickers.
Would
What the fuck is a snickerdoodle
Never had one? It’s a somewhat common cookie variety that’s similar to a sugar cookie and has a cinnamon sugar topping.
No, is it an American thing? Sounds nice though.
They are my favorite cookie when warm, and like my 6th favorite cookie cold…
It’s covered in sugar and made with a bunch of sugar. Of course it’s American!
Anyway, here’s a decent recipe if anyone wants to know what they look like or wants to make them.
I’m Canadian and English is my first language. If I didn’t see that product in a cleaning products isle at the store, I would be very confused because it looks like a drink and while baking soda is something to clean with, it is also something to bake with. It should at very least have the words cleaner or detergent in equally large lettering on the front label.
Since when is baking soda a liquid?
Ever since NaHCO3 + H2O <=> Na(+) + HCO3(-) + H2O
I mean, that was my first question when I saw the product.
First it’s liquid dish soap, then it’s liquid laundry detergent, now liquid baking soda?! What lengths the American trucking industry will go to get customers to pay to haul water across the fucking country!
Bottled water lengths
I still am confused why it is called soda.
Bicarbonate of sodium is called ‘baking soda’. Soft drinks are called ‘soda’ because the acid/baking soda reaction was used before they figured out CO2 injection. This floor cleaner is also made with baking soda, therefore, confusion.
Why the fuck doesn’t it say “floor cleaner”?
It does, its just in tiny letters that got jpg’d out of existence. On the bottom right, it says “Citrus and Fruits multi-purpose cleaner”.
It is legally labelled, our labelling laws just suck.
I can’t even read it 😂
because why should they limit it to just floor usage?
Whatever, man. Surface cleaner. That’s not the point, is it?
Several years ago at a restaurant in Utah someone mixed a packet of cleaning chemicals instead of lemonade powder because they looked identical. An old lady drank it and died.
If not drink, why drink shaped?
(seriously, what even is it?)
floor soap
… oooh I just noticed the floor tiles on the label, under all the food.
“baking soda”
I’m even more confused now
It said with baking soda. Baking soda can do a lot for cleaning.
Its just funny and a bit concerning that nowhere on the label does it explicitly say that it’s a cleaning product. I wonder if there is a version without baking soda, that would be even more confusing.
Yeah but it does have usage directions on the back.
Fabuloso is the best for floors. Smells so good too - good enough that you want to drink it.
If you go to any grocery store in predominately Latine area, it’s pretty common. Lots of old ladies swear by it.
I don’t live in a predominantly latine area and we have it in Walmart
Ngl but this is my first time seeing baking soda in liquid form. Maybe I need to touch some grass.
This reminds me of an old and probably somewhat racist joke, involving a person from [insert low income country here] moving to America and marveling at an American supermarket. Food is so easy to get in America, not like in the old country, and they go so far as to put pictures – in color – on the cans and jars showing you what’s inside so you don’t even have to be able to read the language.
This can has a picture of green beans on it and inside are green beans.
This can has a picture of a bowl of soup on it and inside is that very soup.
This box has a picture of a plate of cookies on it, and inside is a plastic tray with three perfect rows of those exact cookies.
This can has a picture of a baby on it and –
That person went straight back to the airport and booked a one way flight back to the old country at that very moment. All those things people in the old country told them about Americans were true.
Ooh, Lemmy bronze. I’ll cherish it forever.
I’m absolutely saving that
Which came first baking soda or soda soda?
Baking soda
I have drank such an appetizer and I must say I do not understand what the fuss is all about. It is literally the thing you add to cake - “BAKING soda”. You eat the cake and so you eat the baking soda that was added to it to make it BAKE. There is nothing remotely unhealthy about eating things meant for consumption.
Fabulous isn’t a drink. It’s a multi-purpose cleaner that you absolutely should not drink.
There is nothing remotely unhealthy about eating things meant for consumption.
Alright. A as table salt is very much meant for consumption and present in pretty much every food there is, you wouldn’t mind backing up your statement by showing me how you eat a few large spoonfuls, since there’s “nothing remotely unhealthy” about it, right?
I don’t believe anyone that stupid could even find themselves to Lemmy so obvious ragebait is obvious ragebait, I just wish they’d be even a little better
I not only eat salt but I even bathe in it. I have recently bought “bathing salts”. It is a special salt that not only can be added to meals but also it has second purpose as a relaxing bath additive.
Haters are going to hate me about the baking soda but I am fine and I felt zero negative effects. I don’t know what’s the fuss about eating a little extra of something that was already in your dessert anyway.
Are you twelve or schizphrenic? Because whatever you has which makes you think you’re being funny is lying to you.
You can’t eat a tablespoon of salt. You’re not capable of doing that. End of story.
Packaging is definitely cultural as anyone who’s spent any significant time in a different culture knows.
It even misleads within your own culture, like how 80% of the “Ice Cream” packaged in ice cream cartons is actually “Frozen Dairy Dessert”.
Yeah that “ice cream” is a bit different from this fabuloso situation.
I once found myself in the rat poison isle of a Lawson in Tokyo a couple years ago thinking they were all tasty snacks. Wasn’t until I noticed the tiny little icon in the corner I figured out it wasn’t junk food I was looking at. Packaging design is very cultural, and being less than fluent in a foreign place can have some wild outcomes if you’re not careful…
You’ve got to share some photos.
This was a different store (didn’t happen to take a pic of the exact rat poison in question), but similar vibe: https://imgur.com/a/hMitwfd
Also including this since it’s just the weirdest mouse trap packaging I’ve ever seen: https://imgur.com/a/xBJZw5p
It’s honestly a miracle I was there for nine days and didn’t get myself poisoned even once
Jesus Christ, and yeah, those look delicious
Japan has some pretty strict laws on labeling, the real fruit picture coupled with the word soda would definitely make them think this is a high quality fizzy fruit drink.
I fully understand the exchange students’ confusion. There’s nothing on the label that says or indicates it’s a cleaner, and that’s a plausible beverage container design.
