Best I can guess they’re upset at the lack of buttermilk because it’s an ingredient associated with southern cooking that might be harder to find nationwide???? So changing out buttermilk for regular means it’s easier for people to make (accessible) and therefore woke? I’m sure I’m giving them too much credit here.

They had me at “unladylike karate chops” 🤣

Capitalism baby! If nobody buys your environmentally friendly aluminum cups they won’t do much good, and people are more likely to buy a product with “luxurious” feeling packaging. They’re likely still a net benefit vs plastic solo cups, but the market leads to perverse incentives.

Those things are feats of engineering!

Spacesuits are cool too I guess.

Funnily, they no longer make either of these products. The glass jar division was sold decades ago, and the aerospace sector was purchased by BAE last year. Ball is still the largest manufacturer of aluminum cans, however. They also make plastic bottles.

Cucumber water is a thing.

Realistically, 15% is too high but if the section for water was any shorter the word wouldn’t fit inside.

I just wanted to build scientific instruments on satellites. Sucks when the company you worked at for 18 years gets sold to an arms dealer.
