I know the headline sounds funny, but remember that could kill a diabetic.

Coca-Cola has voluntarily recalled 13,152 cases of Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade because it discovered during an internal investigation that cans labeled as Zero Sugar contain full sugar.

Not Coke, it's the lemonade.

[–] TheTechnician27 32 points 2 months ago

Could've recalled it for being Minute Maid too.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Minute Maid is owned by Coke. That's why the headline says Coke is pulling the drinks.

Headline could be written better, I warned my friend who's sister is a diabetic before realizing its just the lemonade

Now you know better than to stop reading after two seconds. If you spent three more seconds reading the summary your panicked warning would have been avoided.

[–] alphapuggle@programming.dev 31 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If I had stopped reading after 2 seconds I wouldn't know it was the lemonade, something that should be put front and center because if I was a drinker of minute maid zero sugar lemonade and I saw "Coke recalls popular zero sugar drink", I wouldn't've bothered reading further.

Anyone downvoting is just shilling for shitty news practices.

This headline was intentionally misleading. At BEST it's meant to be vague to make you click into the article to find out what the drink is. Either way it's shitty.

13k cases is like 30 seconds of production 😂

You aren’t far off. I’ve been in the Anheuser Busch plant in Cartersville GA about 20 years ago and I swear one line bottled 600 a minute…. Remember thinking how it took two of our plants to keep one of theirs going. You couldn’t see the bottles they moved so fast.

[–] ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 5 points 2 months ago

Thing is though there's around 12-24 bottles per case depending on the size of the bottles.

Our fastest filler here at work does 36,000 bottles an hour, so you definitely won't be getting 13,000 cases in 30 seconds I can assure ya ;)

I am very tempted to complain about the state of modern journalism, but maybe we don't have to expect better from "simpyrecipes.com".

Still, holy clickbait, Batman.

[–] SpaceNoodle 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"simpy" recipes are something else entirely.

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago

Better journalistic integrity, weirdly.

[–] 11111one11111 1 points 2 months ago

Hahahahah Fuck it I'm leaving my long ass conspiracy theory centered around this breakthrough being about Coke Zero specifically and no other drinks comment I responded to someone else with.
