My wife and I have been paying attention to which companies are making significant donations to conservatives, and have been avoiding doing business with them, but now it's getting tough as everyone is expected to kiss the ring. It's about to the point where it might be easier to make a list of companies that haven't.
This would be a good use case for AR—just slip on your glasses and see all their sponsors’ logos adjusted to scale according to the size of their bribe donations
I'm seeing it as a white, blue, and red jacket. Almost flag like for the country he represents. It's got the same colors as the US flag, enough for denying it's the Russian flag, but showing his true allegiance.
It was a lot of people's jobs for months now creating some special bottle and box for this PR moment... none of this should exist. It reminds me of stories about the Middle Ages, where people would come before the king and shower them with gifts to make sure they are appeased.
Weirdest part to me is that I really can't believe that he's drinking Diet Coke and not regular Coke. I know there's concerns about diet sodas, but that shows a concern about his health and what he puts in his body that I never imagined Trump was capable of.
Naw, I think it's because he specifically enjoys diet coke more. If I want a soda, it's diet coke or nothing. I'm in good health, but diet coke tastes great while regular coke almost makes me feel ill from the thick syrup.
Same. The only thing that calms the beast that lives in my soul is the sweet embrace of aspartame. I cant even really drink mixed drinks with non diet soda. Sugar Free Redbull and Vodka just hits so good.
Not trying to defend the taste. I hate the taste of diet coke myself, but I don't know what it is about that diet soda specifically. I have met many people in real life and through the internet that just fucking LOVE diet coke. Idk why, but they drink 3-5 cans a day. I am working with one now that had to stop drinking for health reasons and she was talking about how she missed the taste a couple weeks ago.
People just love getting addicted to shit. We are all guilty of it. We equate the dopamine rush with actual enjoyment of things. I'm not sure I actually like anything, so much as it's my brain tricking me.
This is a little tongue in cheek, but also a little not.
I'm not sure how much chemical tweaking they did on aspartame, but I suspect it ended up being overfitted to their test group because I can't stand the taste of it. It just tastes a bit off to me, like there's some undesirable chemical in there.
Stevia was disappointing for me because the ones granulated like white sugar also have that flavour. Maybe it's from traces of whatever solvent was used to extract it from the plant.
I mean Jelly Belly had a whole thing with Regan. Maybe not the best president to provide a counter example, but it's really seems like a company just playing into a president's favorite foods.
Marketing rule #1, know your market. Note that you don't need to actually need to have taken marketing classes to know this. So congratulations on doing what anyone with more than two brain cells could figure out, ya rich CEO jackass.
Whenever there's a new photo I zoom in to see how old/senile/dead he looks. Most of his publicity photos are 8 years old and he's aged a lot since then.
