minus-squarefinitebanjo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 days agoIts joke referring to the casualties of the cola wars including the ban of Sassafras previously used in Root Beer.
minus-squarejaybone@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 days agoYou mean the cola wars in the 80s? Like when people gave a shit about Coke vs Pepsi? Because tv commercials told us this was important? Gatorade has certainly been back on the shelves since then.
minus-squarefinitebanjo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-25 days agoWe should care about it because the companies lobbied to take legal action against competition and almost monopolized soft drinks in the USA. It’s the reason Sassafras is illegal as a food additive in the USA, so all US root beer is fake now. The gator thing, however, was a joke.
