This is why people need consumer regulation. Bottles have one shape and soaps another

Not gonna lie, from the thumbnail I thought it was a fruity drink too....

[–] NocturnalEngineer@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

Even when looking at the picture, I still don't know what it is. I'm assuming soap based on the comments, but it's not obvious at all.

To me it seriously looks absolutely like fruit juice that has baking soda in it for some reason I'm not aware of - maybe health benefits? And if it didn't mention baking soda I would totally expect it to be fruit juice. But apparently it's a household cleaner, and there's also a watermelon version. WTF is wrong with the people who make this shit?

is this the soda you drink while baking food?

Time to pick up some Mr. Yuck stickers.

What the fuck is a snickerdoodle

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 19 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Never had one? It’s a somewhat common cookie variety that’s similar to a sugar cookie and has a cinnamon sugar topping.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 7 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

No, is it an American thing? Sounds nice though.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 14 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

It’s covered in sugar and made with a bunch of sugar. Of course it’s American!

Anyway, here’s a decent recipe if anyone wants to know what they look like or wants to make them.

They are my favorite cookie when warm, and like my 6th favorite cookie cold...

[–] rustyricotta@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 hours ago

If they're not great when cold, it's possible that the ones you're eating are overcooked. They're godly when perfectly cooked.

I'm Canadian and English is my first language. If I didn't see that product in a cleaning products isle at the store, I would be very confused because it looks like a drink and while baking soda is something to clean with, it is also something to bake with. It should at very least have the words cleaner or detergent in equally large lettering on the front label.

Since when is baking soda a liquid?

[–] piecat@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

Ever since NaHCO3 + H2O <=> Na(+) + HCO3(-) + H2O

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 10 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, that was my first question when I saw the product.

First it's liquid dish soap, then it's liquid laundry detergent, now liquid baking soda?! What lengths the American trucking industry will go to get customers to pay to haul water across the fucking country!

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Bottled water lengths

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 48 points 1 day ago (11 children)

never mind that, why would you have baking soda in bottles????

It's a tiny package of white powder. What is this insanity?

[–] EvelynGrace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 13 hours ago

It's a cleaning product with baking soda in it, not actual baking soda for cooking

I don't know this brand and ngl if I saw that on a kitchen table there is a pretty good chance I'd drink it too. That is downright irresponsible label design.
