So you didn’t actually look at your own picture where it is clearly labeled as “charged lemonade”?

Neat pictures but there’s some weird filtering going on that make them look like an oil painting or something.

I do see the sign, and they could be clearer about the amount of caffeine. But it’s not like you’re just ordering “a lemonade” and they bring it to you and surprise!

It’s like buying a hard lemonade and being shocked that it has alcohol in it. Just like “rockstar”, “go”, “rowdy”, “full throttle”. “Charged” suggests an energy drink that happens to be lemonade flavored.

And if I were sensitive to caffeine I’d be cautious about anything named like that.

I don’t really see how that undermines anything, I just explained the abbreviation and mentioned how I mostly see it used. The only group I see screeching about how the “mainstream media” is biased against them is the far right.

I feel like if I had a sensitivity to caffeine I’d be real suspicious of anything called “charged lemonade”

Main-Stream Media. Usually used by the far right to refer to centrist publications/broadcasters.

Edit: not intending to say that the GP is far-right, and I completely agree that it makes no sense for anyone to support Israel here.

… aside from the fact that it’s explicitly caffeinated lemonade.

It’s a double win. Nestle doesn’t get your money, and you don’t have to eat their shitty chocolate.

Well whenever we have a massive problem with frequent mass killings involving trucks we can talk about truck control too.

Unfortunately, Wikipedia continued to grow, and Encarta sales declined.

Not seeing the unfortunate angle to this…
