my mother has lugged one of these bad boys around for over thirty years now

truly the most american thing is Big Drink. more than late stage capitalism, more than an unparalleled cultural focus on individualism, more than 9/11 jokes

what binds all americans together culturally is Big Drink

and you might be saying "is this fat shaming" or "but mayor bloomberg outlawed Big Drink in nyc" or "gays are so annoying about their iced coffee" or some other dumb comment but no open your minds, Big Drink isn't just sugary or caffeinated beverages

every day i see one of you hydration bitches (affectionate) on the train with a water bottle so big a toddler could drown in it. that too is Big Drink. we literally invented a bigger beer can (tall boy) in wisconsin in the 60s in the service of Big Drink

anyway i never feel more american then when i have Big Drink in my hands

#to reiterate someone else. it's mostly ice and thus extremely watered down diet pepsi.#and it was DISGUSTING #mom would never have any actual water in the car for her weird daughter who hated soda #so i would be so thirsty and she'd be like here have a drink of this. and i would be like i'd rather dehydrate #it tasted so NASTY #but that's because i hate pepsi not because of the largeness #anyways. had to share.#unfortunate americanism i have direct experience with #i am always carrying around two to three tall tumblers to drink water out of #and i was taught that you ALWAYS by the large drink even if you don't want it #(bc its cheapest..... that's how you get your money's worth)#(another americanism i think—you get more than what you need to be cost effective and save for later)#(even if realistically it'd be more cost effective to just buy what you'd actually eat or need)
