@jetiisse pointed out that the existence of Coca Cola in Star Wars implies the existence of real, actual, honest-to-god space cocaine, which means that not only does spice (fake space cocaine) exist, but it is in direct competition with coke (real space cocaine)
of all the countless products to make canon for the advertising deals, they had to choose the one that implied the existence of actual cocaine in Star Wars
I feel like everyone need to be aware that there is also diet coke:
and sprite:
and they’re in there cause they serve the drinks at galaxy’s edge so they made them a part of star wars.
which I think is the funniest thing to happen to star wars canon since they decided darth vader’s lightsaber can change lengths because of special effects inconsistencies in the original movies.
Much as I fucking despise this and think it's a perfect example of why the Star Wars approach to what constitutes canon is dreadful, the Coke logo has also given us an example of stylized cursive Aurebesh and that is fucking fascinating.
I love how this post is like “Oh, clean up some of the nastiest, hard to clean crap with coke!” but doesn’t mention “Hey, you actually ingest this stuff that can clean CORRODED CAR BATTERIES.”
Heyyy this is because when you put carbon dioxide to make the carbonated water, you get carbonic acid. Carbonic acid varies in how much the pH is, especially in the different coke products. Strong enough to dissolve rust but not steel or any of the metals mentioned here.
But here’s the thing, carbonic acid is not one of the 6 strong acids. You know what is one of those? Hydrocholric acid. You know where you naturally secrete hydrocholric acid? Your stomach. Hydrochloric acid is some nasty stuff and WILL eat away at a screw if allowed to soak long enough. If you ever got just drop of a diluted solution on your skin in chem lab, then you can see where that would happen very easily.
The stronger acid wins. Your tummy is fine when you drink coke. Your tummy makes acid strong enough to screw that corroded battery up. It can handle a can of coke. Please don’t swallow a screw or something to test this tho, please.
Seriously. You could probably do all of these with lemon juice (citric acid) or vinegar (ethanoic, or acetic, acid) just because acids work in pretty similar ways. Actually, when you see people recommending vinegar as a household cleaner? This is what it’s doing!
Also, as someone who has accidentally inhaled hydrochloric acid fumes, TRUST ME, THE CARBONIC ACID IS MUCH BETTER.
Every time I see a hysterical post on modern food I just kinda point and laugh
Because dude. Dude. You know what you breathe in and out every freaking second to survive? Oxygen. An incredibly corrosive gas that is probably responsible for more deaths across the history of the planet than anything else. Not only that, it’s a biproduct of photosynthesis. You literally rely on plant excretions to survive
Do you know what most of your body is made up of? Water. Which, given enough time, will destroy anything.
That morning coffee you like? Well shoot, caffeine - lifeblood to many - is actually an incredibly potent nervetoxin (If you’re an insect). Plants actually produce that as an insecticide.
That refreshing zing from citrus? Acid. That juicy smack of a tomato? Acid and cadmium. That tart in an apple? Arsenic. That seasoning you put all over your fish and chips? Acid strong enough to destroy seashells - life that has evolved to survive living in a salt-drenched sea.
Are we not going to talk about how fucked it is that someone would just pour fucking pop all over their pans and floors then rinse it off and call it clean.
