Yeah that tracks.

All you need to know about Asmongold is there's a video of him on-stream trying water for the first time ever.

He gagged when he drank it.

Then he "watered it down" with soda.

Actually, that's not all you need to know.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the water he drank Fiji? If so, that'd explain his reaction. To me, that water tastes soapy.

Should taste like corpo fascism, the reznicks are deeply deeply terrible people.

Didn't know their names till now, but I am not surprised since their fiji water consistently has the highest amount of fecal contamination of any bottled water. They also have FDA recalls, and enough microplastics to get a lawsuit..

They're also pom wonderful, cuties, and wonderful pistachios. L if you get into the California water bank situation it gets a bit dystopian.

They have the massive almond farms right? I think that's what I read earlier.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah they grow tons of crops with huge water demands and that's a major major factor in the California water shortage.

Sure would be nice if the government would get off their asses and resolve that.

Iirc they were being sued for it but I dunno how it is that shook out yet.
