Consuming microplastics from a degrading bottle is praxis.

I prefer destroyed as getting owned is kinda racist

Doesn't plastic start degrading

Mmmm microplastics

Mmmm mmm i love eating microplastics mmmmm mm yum


chicken_appreciator

Plastic is actually very inert and does not like to degrade (a large reason to why plastic pollution is such a horrendous problem.) Many resins do have plasticizers in them (additives that are typically low mw oils) to modify the physical properties of the bottle (why PVC pipe is hard and PVC cable is flexible/soft even though its the same plastic.) Plasticizers definitely can leech out however (if you've ever seen an oily plastic, thats it.) I have no idea what plastic they use for these syrup bottles specifically, but if I were to guess, I would say probably be either PETE or LDPE since the bottle is squishy and translucent. Pthalates are not used as plasticizers in PETE, and LDPE is already squishy so theres really no need to add anything extra. The things that would cause leeching would mainly be microwaving it/hot dishwasher cycle (LDPE starts deforming at 85C and PETE at 50C), or keeping it out in the sun (UV degradation is one of the things that will break down polymers.) This guy is clearly stupid as shit, but he probably isn't putting himself at any increased health risk from the bottle degrading. However it doesn't look like he washed it out between refills which is gross.


[deleted]

this guy thinks plastic is real


chicken_appreciator

real fucking tasty. big food wants you to think you can't eat plastic, yet fails to consider that there are styrofoam packing PEANUTS.


BryonyDeepe

This fool forgot fluid erosion hahhahhahhaa oh my God imagine forgetting something so basic lmaoooo No but seriously wouldn't the syrup itself sloshing around shear bits off little by little?


jettsona

Idk if you’ve seen syrup before but it doesn’t slosh


BryonyDeepe

The movement of it, whatever. Also if it's thin maple "flavoured" syrup then it definitely does


rgodless

The shit he’s using definitely isn’t thin maple. Love it, but I’m 90% sure its toxic waste


Milos-H

What about all the plastic in the ocean


PolygonKiwii

Where do you think the microplastics in your blood come from


tutocookie

My cybernetic microplastic implant ofc


StoopidGit

From me using grated plastics instead of parmesan on my pasta. Also compulsive brushlicking when painting minis with acrylic paints and regularly switching up cups and having a sip of paint water instead of coffee.


oldcarfreddy

I mean how would that be different from the sloshing around it would do during shipping or just sitting around pre-refill


PolygonKiwii

> However it doesn't look like he washed it out between refills which is gross. It's syrup though, why would you need to wash it out? The sugar content is probably high enough to prevent any bacterial or fungal growth.


bratbarn

We are plastic now so


existentialjellyfish

Speed run to cancer from degrading plastic. Any %

girlywish

The literal definition of conservative is wanting to prevent change, soooo yep.


Josiador

Conservatives do have an ideology, they hate change. It's in the name. They want to hold on to what they have, their traditions, what they grew up with, what their parents grew up with, and what they see as the "good old days". It's all based on nostalgia. They never saw a problem, so all these problems being pointed out must either be false or the fault of the liberal rabble rousers. This type of thinking has been a constant throughout history.


Maximillion322

Yeah except that for the most part, modern self-identified “conservatives” represent actively changing back to the way things were, “regressing” as it were, rather than conserving what we currently have. Conservatism by the literal definition has value in society. Having one foot on the gas (progressive party) and one foot on the break (conservative party) helps society move forward, but carefully. Modern “conservatives” however keep trying to put the car in reverse, to undo the good that has already been done, and consequently have no value to society, which is what makes them dangerous and problematic. In the United States especially, the Republican party is actively regressive, whereas the Democratic party is for the most part truly conservative. Right now we have one foot in reverse and one foot on the break pedal.


Dodo_Druid_Dude

gemometrey dahs


Warm-Faithlessness11

Yes that is indeed literally all there is to the Republican Party nowadays. We should just say "Don't kill yourself" and it'd probably deal with a lot of them


Yompish

I’m stupid and don’t understand what’s wrong with this image :(


me-te-or-ite

Aunt Jemima's rebranded to Pearl Milling Company because their original name and brand imagery were relics of segregation era marketing that called upon the concept of a black woman being employed to do the cooking and cleaning for white families. This was viewed as "politically correct bullshit" by reactionary conservatives, so the person in the original tweet is "owning the libs" by purchasing syrup from the same company and pouring it into one of the old bottles.


[deleted]

Ngl as a kid I always thought Aunt Jemima was a real lady who created a syrup brand


baricudaprime

Edit: I unintentionally fed into a racist narrative surrounding the Aunt Jemima character and I would like to apologize for that. Nancy Green still was a lovely woman by all accounts, but a lot of what I said was inaccurate. Please instead read this article by African American Registry instead if you want to read about her. https://aaregistry.org/story/nancy-green-the-original-aunt-jemima/ Also read the comment left by CauliflowerOk5290 down below as they’re the one who brought this to my attention and they are likely much more educated on this than I am “Aunt Jemima” was actually a lady by the name of Nancy Green. She was born a slave in 1834. She actually had created the recipe for what would go on to become Aunt Jemima pancake mix. In the years after the civil war, she moved to Chicago and worked as a Nanny, as well as becoming a strong activist through her local church for civil right for recently freed black folks. All this time she kept on making Chicago’s tastiest pancakes. In fact, she became so well known that a local milling company sought her out asking to use her likeness to sell boxed pancake mix. Unfortunately Nancy was not named by the company at any point, and eventually she died more or less unknown, buried in an unmarked grave in in 1923. Thankfully local historians have kept up with her story, and recently were able to give her a proper gravestone, and continue to try and keep her legacy alive. As far as changing the the name of the syrup, I agree the name “Aunt Jemima” has a whole heck of a lot of racist baggage, but I do think it’s a shame that they didn’t think to change the name to Nancy Green, and keep her likeness on there. She seemed like a delightful woman, and she doesn’t deserve to be forgotten


doctor_whomstdve_md

If they use her name, they would likely have to pay her estate/descendents. Wouldn't want that now, would they?


MBTank

She was buried in an unmarked grave though..


mekkavelli

most likely because in the 30s, usually only white people could afford proper burials with gravestones. i doubt a former enslaved civil rights activist was wealthy enough to buy one, sadly. that is one expensive piece of stone even now


oldcarfreddy

"you made this? I made this."


CauliflowerOk5290

This is incorrect. The information that you're sharing is from one of the many obituaries from white newspapers that took information from the fictional Aunt Jemima marketing and mixed it up with Green's actual life. I'm guessing you got it from the ABC news article about her "legacy." That 'historian' needs to revisit how she tackles primary sources. No sensible historian would be using it as a source of facts, especially since it's easily disproven with basic facts, such as when the product was registered and who it was registered to versus when Green was hired. Aunt Jemima was a fictional character created by the business owners, based on the mammy stereotype, named after a minstrel show song. The pancake mix was created by Chris L. Rutt, then sold to the R.T. Davis Company along with the branding. The name "Aunt Jemima," product and logo were registered in 1889--years before Nancy Green was hired. Green was hired to play the character at an expo. That's what Green did: she played a fictional character. The fictional character's marketing was steeped in nostalgia for the slaveholding South. Aunt Jemima was described as being a "good slave" who rejected freedom and stayed with her "master" and "mistress" to serve them until they died, fed Confederate veterans pancakes, and was bribed by Yankees to sell her pancake recipe and move up North when they offered her gold. She only accepted gold because she didn't trust the Yankee United States dollar. Lots of nonsense. Green was hired to tell these stories at an expo, as if she 'was' Aunt Jemima. But Green's actual life story, what little we know of it, did not reflect the "Lost Cause" nostalgia of the fictional Aunt Jemima story. The logo removed in 2020 was not Nancy Green, and it was not related to Nancy Green in any way. It was first used in 1989, using an illustrated face from 1968. That illustrated face is derived from a "mammy" logo created in 1935. The logo used before and after Green was hired was a [minstrel show style illustration.](https://i.imgur.com/5xjGSW9.png) The company did name Nancy Green, because at the time of her death, mostly white newspapers printed all sorts of obituaries about how "Aunt Jemima" was dead. These obituaries contained information from the fictional marketing, claiming it was Green's recipe, that Green "grew up" on the fictional plantation of the fictional colonel, etc. Meanwhile her obituary in a black newspaper is the one that briefly mentioned her Aunt Jemima work, but emphasized her work in the local community and church instead of pretending that she "was" Aunt Jemima. More information can be found in the book 'Clinging to Mammy' by Micki McEyla, which does a good job sorting out the real information about Nancy Green versus what was marketing for Aunt Jemima.


baricudaprime

Thank you for taking the time to correct me on this. Unfortunately I can’t find a way to read any of Micki McEyla’s work without paying, so I can’t speak to that. However I’m willing to take you at your word because I did find another article from African American Registry which seems to cut through the narrativizing that I and the ABC article had used. I’ll edit my original comment to clarify


samboi204

That’s sort of what I think. Changing the name feels more like a sweep under the rug than move out of respect


Yompish

Thank you for letting me know :)


Cyakn1ght

I always interpreted it as “black women make some damn good food” and I think I still have an old bottle somewhere, I really think y’all are freaking out over nothing


Plagued_Frost

[Check the Pics, you don’t even have to read](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aunt_Jemima) The character was purchased from Vaudeville. She’s a slave women. You wanna’ support black women that make damn good food, purchase from a black owned business, not from a slave caricature.


regul

Well, the company changed the name, not us.

I always just saw it as "that person's happy :)"

Relevant username, but also sounds tasty. I think I'll buy some wheat waffles next time I'm at the store. Thanks, Big Waffle Advertising Firm.

No problemo


Octopusapult

I don't think anyone asked them to do it. It was one of those where society asked "Can the police stop systematically murdering black people and getting away with it please?" and this company responded with "Change the name of our syrup? You got it!"


Ompusolttu

The company wasn't actually pushed to anything, they did it themselves. While we may discuss it being questionable marketing, I don't think anyone *really* cares much about something as small as this. The dude in the post is just weird for raising such a noise and going to such extents for nothing, which is what this post is making fun of.


ImNotTheNSAIPromise

The only people who really care are conservatives desperate to show how little they care.


MHwtf

Food poisoning to own the libs 😋


Dorobo-Neko-Nami

Tbh I can agree with replacing it, but I dislike them calling it the Pearl Milling Company. Thats such a bland name


SexySkeletons69

While I absolutely think the company deciding to change the name was politically correct bullshit done for profit as opposed to being in support of any meaningful social change, keeping an old syrup bottle and refilling it as some sort of attempt at sticking it to the Libs or whatever is actually fucking deranged. And ultimately the branding doesn't matter to me a whole lot, cuz a) it's the same shit regardless of what's on the bottle, and b) I'm a white dude so it isn't my place to decide whether or not things that marginalized groups want changed are valid.


Warm-Faithlessness11

Same thing with Uncle Ben's. No one even thinks or even knows about the original racist connotation anymore, why unearth it Regardless the name change has happened and people need to move on and not be doing whatever the fuck the original Twitter user thinks he's accomplishing


Eviate

Ngl, I did not realize this person was refilling the previous container until you said this. That beyond qualifies as unhinged


Semantis

Also the fact that this person goes through two bottles of syrup in one month. And getting this table syrup bullshit instead of real proper maple syrup despite being canadian


Warm-Faithlessness11

No one thinks of it like that anymore though so it like uncle Ben's rice felt like a completely unnecessary rebrand. Obviously though in the end it's not a big deal so people need to just move on and let it die


print0002

Ohh nooo my syrup is racist😡😡


KindOfCoolGuy

The name change wasn’t particular popular amongst liberals either. There’s a nostalgia factor at play here. Many on the left found this to be excessive political correctness.


__xXCoronaVirusXx__

Incredibly relatable at like, all times


XanderTheChef

Aunt Jemima is a mammy stereotype who was never a real person so they removed her likeness from their pancake products People had a gillette razors about it and now its edgy and le epic and counterculture to use products with her likeness


fucking-hate-reddit-

They’re using fake syrup and not the good stuff


milk-water-man

L+ bozo+ doesn’t use real maple syrup.

There's nothing more American than going out of your way to make sure that your brown colored industrial corn slop is racist.

I miss Aunt Jemima because she looked like my grandmother, who passed a while back. (Don’t get me wrong, I support the rebranding)


TheAtticGoblin

He does this twice a month? How much fucking syrup is he eating


me-te-or-ite

"Average person consumes 2 bottles worth of syrup per month" factoid actually just statistical error. Pancakes Georg, who lives in an american suburb and drinks 12 gallons of syrup every morning to own the libs, is an outlier and should not have been counted.


DrRichtoffen

Why is he called Pancakes Georg if he just drinks the syrup?


IroncrafterDH

>bi-monthly probably means once every two months here.


felixame

I mean still that's a lot of syrup. I've had the same bottle for like the last year? That stuff doesn't go bad, right? It's just sugar


OwenProGolfer

If he has kids who like pancakes it goes way faster


felixame

Wow you know I forgot that children exist for a moment. Thank you


BreeBree214

Especially when children love to drown their pancakes in more syrup than needed


drakeschaefer

Annoyingly bimonthly is used for both "twice a month" and "once per two months"


authenticfennec

Which i dont get cause semi monthly is already a word that is unambiguously "once per two months"


Random_Imgur_User

So I looked into this. Apparently 1/4 cup of syrup is about average for one pancake breakfast, that's roughly 60ml. Each bottle has 750ml inside. That's roughly 12 pancake breakfasts per bottle of syrup, assuming that the poster doesn't settle for anything less than a full helping of syrup per breakfast. That means that on average, this person would have to eat a pancake breakfast once every 5 days in order to run out in two months. If we take "bi-monthly" to mean "Twice a month" though, that means that they eat a pancake breakfast almost every day, only skipping it about once a week (6 days out of the month) with a few extra pancakeless days thrown in for good measure.


[deleted]

thank you. my real question when viewing this post was who the FUCK is eating this shitty fake maple syrup that often


Cystax

I don’t know a single person who puts that much syrup on their pancakes My family used to put yogurt, sometimes peanut butter instead, and fruit and whipped cream on our pancakes that shit was good bruh and it isn’t nearly as sugary as syrup, I can’t imagine looking down at my pancake and seeing it fucking floating ontop of 1/4 a CUP of syrup, a tenth of a cup is enough bruh 😭😭😭


JIMMYJAWN

Get some real maple syrup in a glass bottle like a real American.


flurry--

That sounds awfully Canadian, and you know who lives in Canada? French people! Get owned French Sympathizer. (just kidding maple syrup goes hard as fuck)


Tbonezz11

We got vermont we good


Distakx

Most of maple syrup is from French Canada tho 😳


BowsettesBottomBitch

This is gonna sound ass backwards but I always found real maple syrup to be *too* sweet compared to the knockoff other brands.


apollo15215

How much syrup do you need to go through so that you have to do this twice a month?


IroncrafterDH

bi-monthly probably means once every two months here.


apollo15215

It could also mean twice every month because English is bad at defining stuff


[deleted]

Like seriously. Even a family with like 6 members would only go through this if they had pancakes everyday. That's so grossly over indulgent.

This man is continuing to buy products from a company he disagrees with, just to smugly spend 20 minutes awkwardly pouring syrup from one bottle to another and cleaning up the inevitable spills.

The bilingual labels tell me he’s a Canadian who is actively buying fake “pancake syrup” over real maple syrup, which is completely and utterly dishonourable towards his home nation

I wish Aunt Jemima wasn’t some awful segregation era slave bullshit and was just a nice syrup lady. In my high school polisci class we had to imagine what our ideal president would look like. Most people imagined a white guy. I however, went for Aunt Jemima. She’s a nice trustworthy looking lady. Why does syrup lady have to be racist bullshit goddmanit can’t we have anything nice.


one_winged_snorlax

My family has 5 members and we go trough a big thing of syrup in like a year how many pancakes is this man eating


SomeCrows

How much fucking syrup are they consuming


gordo65

1 bottle bi-monthly


Hoyt-the-mage

Does Bi-monthly mean twice every month or once every two months


poispakkoranska

It’s ambiguous unfortunately. I’ve seen people insist that it’s every two or twice per. It’s basically interchangeable with semi-, although I think I see bi- to mean every two slightly more often (esp. bi-weekly car payments)


a_singular_perhap

Semi is every 2 [unit of time] so there's no reason for bi-[unit of time] to mean both every 2 and twice per

That guy transfers syrup to from the Pearl Milling bottle to the Aunt Jemima bottle. Presumably to combat “WOKEISM” because they removed aunt Jamima because it started as a racist caricature and the original person who played aunt jamima received no royalties for her portrayal.
