“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.

Tomato juice is the most punk drink, Ohio doesn’t deserve it.

Nebraska absolutely deserves theirs however

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.

Tomato juice isn’t bottom shelf booze, and is therefore disqualified for most punk rock drink

Treatment of cattle is not that different to how fascists view and treat humans.

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

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.
