“State Beverage” is midcentury marketing brain worms for large agribusinesses. It might be quaint but they sold a shit ton through idiotic reflexive reactionary nationalism.
It’s such a parasitic version of state flowers/trees. The blue columbine being our state flower means it’s illegal to pick one. Our public lands can be unimaginably beautiful because the columbine fields are so thick that they perfume the air. Dairies poison my water as much as their product poisons me.
Yeah I saw tomato juice for Ohio and just immediately assumed it was a lobbying campaign from the 60s, they only produce about 1% of California’s yield though.
My quick google searches say that Ohio made it tomato juice to coincide with a regional state fair that centered around tomatoes. Apparently Ohio was the largest producer of tomatoes in the US in 1965.
Once it is set, it is hard to change. American tradition
Bruh
Tomato juice is the most punk drink, Ohio doesn’t deserve it.
Nebraska absolutely deserves theirs however
Let me have just one win for being born in this shithole state.
tomato juice is amazing and you can put black pepper or whatever in it and then it’s spicy tomato juice and it’s amazing.
And then you put vodka in it 😋
well yes, but even if you dont, it’s great
And like a whole ass field of celery
Tomato juice isn’t bottom shelf booze, and is therefore disqualified for most punk rock drink
I love a good michelada, but I never had one when I lived in Ohio…
Have had some good ones in the state but it’s not a regular thing there lol
EDIT: I’ve seen this before, but can someone remind me what this is from?
I promise this is curiousity posting not horny posting.Its not a clip from a porn video?
in our brave new generative AI future, anything can be a clip from a porn video
milk is the most fascist beverage
I agree instinctively, is there a reason why this is the case?
Treatment of cattle is not that different to how fascists view and treat humans.
One of the few drinks directly extracted from the body of an exploited being.
possibly because it’s inextricably linked with animal agriculture, specifically one of an industrial scale
Insert Homelander clip
I was doing a bit at work recently where it’s the opening scene of Inglorious Basterds but Hanz Landa has never heard of milk before or seen a cow. Once he finds out what they’ve been doing to cows he figures there is no way those freaks would be harboring jews
gross
shuddering at the thought of mixing milk and Fanta
Wisconsinites in shambles rn
heh. State beverage. So dumb. I wonder what my dumb state made theirs.
We don’t even have one?? What kind of bullshit is this?That means your state beverage is water, right?
That means people in his state are cautioned aginst getting addicted to water
Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.
It’s actually Coke if you’re in a red state and Pepsi if you’re in a blue state.
14 of them between the years 1981-1987
It also led to stuffed crust pizza and cheese caves to inflate demand for dairy lmao. I bet the use of powdered milk in most foods is actually redundant and just a result of that lobbying
My state doesn’t have an official beverage, probably because it would be ranch dressing.
Hey ranch is the state beverage of alaska because we invented it!
By a Nebraskan man. Sorry, but the Midwest is claiming this one, no one loves ranch like us.
Compromise, Alaska’s a Midwestern state that’s geographically in the Pacific Northwest.
We literally smother our pizza with ranch, among other things that ranch probably shouldn’t go on
This is probably part of post-war US dairy industry lobbying.
All the ones that are milk related are from the 80s, it’s probably some Regan bullshit.
Being able to process cow’s milk is a whole insane thing in white-supremacist circles.
Is it like, only the pure Aryans can process lactose and the lactost intolerant are untermensch?
Pretty much. It’s all as stupid as it sounds.
To be fair there only used to be about 3 different kinds of drinks when the USA settled the frontier: milk, whiskey, and laudenum
don’t forget (hard) cider and (slavery) rum
The dairy lobby is no joke
Rare Alabama W
That’s what I thought, too. Like, how cucked does Kentucky have to be to not declare bourbon its state drink?
This has got to be connected to how the dairy lobby got huge after WW2. Like this is probably connected to when the agribusiness lobbyists convinced the FDA or whoever to put a dairy category on the food pyramid.
Arizona’s not being Tea is a travesty.
AriZona iced tea is manufactured in new jersey
Broke: Jews run the country
Woke: Italians run the country
The Pastalluminati. The marinara tide. The veiled paisanos.
I did not know that, in that case I’ll change my vote to New Jersey’s state drink being Arizona.
A buncha mammons
I tell ye hwat
