"just"

Yeah it wasn't meant to be a knock, just an observation about onion size really. I haven't tried them enough times to judge if I think they're good or bad. But they're definitely big!

Yeah in normal countries but in America they have huge onions

4 large onions

So, like, 6 tablespoons of caramelised onion?

Maybe, but "profit" can mean "just lead a basic live with basic dignities instead of being in abject poverty"

They have replaced the H in the chemical formula for water (H2O) with a C to represent "coconut". However, C already stands for a chemical element, carbon. That implies this product is a compound made of two carbon atoms and one oxygen. If such a thing exists, it would be incredibly unstable and react with anything it touches; you certainly would not want to drink it.

This is satire for sure

the increasing commercialisation pressure leading to the dismantling of cold-war era institutions

Another thing achieved at gunpoint (or rather nuclear-warhead-point).

Also, it's not prejudicial if I'm judging you on your actual words.

The point I'm making is that it's naïve to think that legal mandate has so much less a power to influence people than social pressure, ideology, marketing etc.

That's why Coca-Cola are more powerful than most governments.

lmao.

What an embarrassing thing to say. I'm sure you think you're very smart, using a diaeresis, but stop and think about what you're actually saying for a minute longer.

If it doesn't become clear to you, no, social pressure is not stronger than physical coercion with the threat of death from a police force nearly indistinguishable from the army.

And the thing about Coca-Cola is a complete non sequitur. It's possible that they are more powerful than many governments because they have unfathomable amounts of money and most countries are tiny with only a few million poor inhabitants, but it's got nothing to do with marketing.

This is it. Absolute minimum two seconds in perfect conditions, four if it's raining/dark/whatever.
