Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

My gf (who is not on the fedivere or any social media) came to me the other day and wanted to stop buying U.S products. Not that we really did before. Spendrups make better soft drinks than Coca-Cola and Pepsi anyway.

Same, my wife and girlfriend told me about it before I found out here. Seems to be spreading on TikTok.

Are your wife and girlfriend on good terms? 😏👉💦

It's a polycule, so yes. Like a standard relationship with two people, but it's three.

Oh that's great! I thought it was a typo, but people loving each other in whatever fashion suits them best is way better ❤️

Not to discount your perspective, but I think it's important to also acknowledge the close connection that you have.

My spouse is much more tuned in to things like this than many of their peers, not necessarily because they have more interest, but because we have a close relationship and so we share stuff a lot.

Spendrups is a licensed Coca Cola factory. Make sure to check for any such shenanigans before buying Spendrups.

Sure they produce coca-cola under licence. But they're not owned by them. They also produce Cuba Cola and Trocadero. Vastly superiors sodas.

Oh that's great though. I really do hope that I'm proven wrong 😊
