      there’s just primary and secondary plant metabolic substances. and spices, herbs, etc. fall in the second category

        Plus caffeine, carbonation, and way more sugar.

            Lemonade has sugar and carbonation?

                It doesn’t have carbonation in it that I’ve ever had in lemonade

                    All store bought lemonade is carbonated here 😅 I had to think if I’ve ever had uncarbonated lemonade before

                        That, to me, is strange 😅👍

                    Cola generally has less sugar than lemonade. (And orange juice, for that matter.)

                    here in colombia there is a drink additive called Kola Granulada and it’s basically a multivitamin with cola extract. It’s pretty tasty and everyone adds it to all sorts of juices including lemonade. I like in with orange and passionfruit juice.

                                  At Wendy’s you can add a shot of lime to your coke using that machine there. But there’s no rum button…

                                        Here in the US, we like our veins full of corn syrup. It’s not real sugar anymore

                                            In that it is a sugary carbonated beverage served cold, just with different flavour than traditional lemonade

                                                Lemonade isn’t carbonated, it’s lemon juice, water, and sugar. Cola has dozens of ingredients, most of which aren’t available to private consumers, it has caffeine, it’s carbonated, it tastes nothing like lemonade, and, as it’s recipe is almost always proprietary, said recipe is obviously not commonly known or easily replicated. I guess I just don’t see it.

                                              It’s more like sugar tea but yes.

                                                A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

                                                Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

                                                • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
                                                • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
                                                • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

                                                Rules

                                                1. All posts must be showerthoughts
                                                2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
                                                3. No politics
                                                  • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
                                                  • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
                                                4. Posts must be original/unique
                                                5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

                                                If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

                                                Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
