Why do am*ricans make a daily trip to the fast food store just to BRING HOME a supid mug like this?
Seems like it's much easier and cheaper to just get a pack of big bottles from the grocery store once a month.

The ratios are strictly set by coca cola or whoever.
The only reasons it tastes different is:
1. gunk built up in the machine makes it into your drink
2. the restaurant is trying to jew you out by using more water and less concentrate
3. it's a different temperature than your fridge
4. placebo

No shit. Nobody is under the assumption that restraunt chains develop their own soda recipes or whatever. The point was that when the ratio is correct, it tastes better than canned or bottled soda. In reality, the ratios are rarely correct and are certainly not "strictly set". Work on your own reading comprehension before you decide to be a retard on the internet again.

>>14204707
We do actually. Thousands literally went to the streets recently in support of the American protests, even after we literally destroyed our economy by quarantining ourselves for 3 months. The government threatened with sending the military on people who wanted to chill in their cabins during the lockdown. Now thousands gathered in the street because they are obsessed with America.

I myself have been glued to the screen watching all the looting and stuff, it's pretty entertaining.

We also spend way too much time obsessing over Trump. We even have a talk show called Trumps World that literally just discusses Trump every day, his tweets and American politics. It makes me disgusted and embarrassed at how obsessed we are with America.
