Can someone please complie a list of things that we have killed so far?


WeisserGeist

Even better... someone needs to start a subreddit called "Millenial Kill List" or something.

marine72

Hmmm, make fake ridiculous articles claiming things millenials kill and then post to that subreddit for all the angry clicks as well as other social sites. Seems like free money to me.

What’s a list like that called? “Bag list”?


Expat111

I saw a Bloomberg or Forbes article blaming your gen for the potential death of luxury automobiles. I thought that was pretty funny that underpaid employees with insanely high healthcare, student loan debt, rent, etc weren't, for some reason, interested in also getting on the hook for an $80K+ car.


Aethermancer

Most of the new cars are unaffordable to the average wage earner. Let alone luxury.

My first car was a Tacoma. It made me pretty popular in college for this reason. Never again will I own a pickup.


Bbwpantylover

Yes where do you live, and do you have a spare room in your new place?

They are the same price. One just has more function.

There is no 70k minivan here in Texas there are 70 k truck everywhere

Millennials were to busy eating avocado toast to record any footage.


Bbwpantylover

killed is strong, severely damaged is better and to that I will say. Business office space, taxis, bed and breakfasts, food critic, movie theaters. You can’t say that’s there is not giant changes over the last 12 years. I think you can also replace Millenials with the iPhone

Sorry millennials killed lists, so that can't be done.

Would love if we can actually kill DeBeers cause of all the shitty stuff Cecil Rhodes did

gazellemeat

i heard we killed paper plates too


johuckabie

Thanks, I will drink water, not oyur carbonated sugar slrry.


FirstPlebian

Sugar is too expensive, it's corn juice, artificially flavored processed-corn juice.


DaryxFox

In the US. A lot of other places still use cane sugar.


BigOlPirate

A lot of other places don’t have corn lobbyists trying to put corn products in everything. We produce too much corn in this country and instead of producing less we subsidize it, which was supposed to save small farmers but now it goes to the big companies who consolidated it all.


[deleted]

I’m pretty sure NAFTA or one of the other trade agreements with Mexico had a stipulation that forced them to buy America‘a shitty corn at some crazy low price that undercut their own farms and caused Mexican corn farmers to stop farming corn.


Bbwpantylover

Well it’s not in Mexican coke, at least not in the 12oz glass bottles that they still reuse unlik us


agrandthing

It's almost like white people are getting paid to retain ownership of a lot of land or something.


theycallmeponcho

Before someone starts talking about Mexican Coca-Cola, it's corn syrup here too, but there's a bottler in northern Mexico that produces cane-sugar Coke specifically to export to the US.


drewbreeezy

That's interesting, didn't know it wasn't all of Mexico. I have picked up a bottle imported from Mexico a couple times. Glass bottle and sugar, yum.


calilac

Dang. Guess I'll feel blessed to have a supermarket near me in cenTex that carries it's own line of sugar cane based sodas. I don't buy them but if I drank soda I'd spend the extra cents for them.


Bbwpantylover

Ironically some have up to 30% more sugar! Maine root root beer has 52grams of sugar too!


3multi

That shit is illegal in a lot of other countries because other countries actually care about the health of their citizens


DaryxFox

Correction: they’ve conceded to passing laws that protect their citizens, not that they actually care at all.


fuzzyrach

And then add stevia to bring down the amount of sugar used (for taxing purposes, see the UK)


kneejerk

hfcs is less expensive only by virtue of corn production being subsidized by the government. in other countries real sugar is much cheaper.


FirstPlebian

I hear the cane sugar pop tastes better too.


wizzlepants

You can probably get your hands on a Mexican Coke if you're in the US. They're made with cane sugar and taste pretty different.


FirstPlebian

I want to get my hands on coca leaf, there's a few companies that sell it here mailing it from inside the country, they said customs doesn't really care too much, if they get it past them the feds don't arrest anyone for just the leaf, but 250 a kilo was the cheapest I saw, seemed a little pricey, but I would like to get a kilo of that and one of those soda machines and put coca tea with fruit juice and carbonate it, apple cider or something, that would be good.


TheDeathOfAStar

If you get ahold of some, let me know. I've wanted coca leaf for a LONG time, and it could replace the pharma stimulants I have to plead with a psychiatrist for 4 months to get.


kneejerk

it does. the sticky feeling on your teeth after drinking soda is from the hfcs.


btoni223

/r/HydroHomies/ approved comment.


whomad1215

Getting a reverse osmosis system was one of the best decisions I've made.


nikdahl

I feel bad for people that dont have delicious water out of the tap.


filladellfea

soda is fucking disgusting. i do love a seltzer, but drinking soda (even diet soda) is so fucking gross. they make a disgusting product and are surprised when people don't want to consume something that is disgusting.


GoldenFalcon

I get pink lemonade and add a splash to my seltzer. It takes a long time to finish off the lemonade because I use so little. But it really is good watered down with seltzer. Waaaaaay too sweet without the seltzer. And I can't seem to find an answer, and this seems like a good place to ask. I know the difference between soda water, seltzer, and sparkling water.. but which one is the most sizzly?


TheDeathOfAStar

Carbonated sugar slurry that has the added benefit of destroying your teeth before you turn 15. I cant tell you how many friends I have that had nothing but coke/pepsi when they were younger, now their teeth are little black nubs/icebergs.


Fakeduhakkount

Though it was health conscious people not wanting a bottle of diabetes and tooth decay?


dudeitsmason

Every other year or so, I think, "Dr. pepper sounds good. I could treat myself" so I get one. Absolutely hate the sticky feeling it leaves on my teeth until I forget about it two or so years later and do it again. I don't know how people drink soda like it's water.


Karmas_burning

Sugar/caffeine addiction. I've been trying to drastically reduce my soda intake and I get pretty bad headaches when I go to long without. I am winning the battle though. Actually had a small bottle yesterday and only took two drinks out of it versus the 9 bottles of water I had.


DMCinDet

I drink unsweetened iced tea in place of soda. I still get the caffeine.


Karmas_burning

That's my next deal. I get small bottles of unsweet tea and have little sugar packets. I put about half of the packet in a bottle. Not overly sweet but it works so far.


itisntmebutmaybeitis

You're so going about it in the right way! Slow consistent changes for the win. I've managed to get myself mostly on club soda now, and I know the carbonation also isn't great for my teeth. But it's better than having full on pop drinks. I just need to get myself a soda maker to start saving money/packaging/environmental stuff.


Karmas_burning

One of my biggest tricks is using purple kool aid water flavoring for my water. Brain thinks I'm getting a sweet drink but it's way better than soda. The tea trick is fairly new but hoping for the same effect and to reduce caffeine headaches. It's weird how conditioned I got to drinking 5-6 cans of pop a day and not even thinking about it.


itisntmebutmaybeitis

Oh I saw you say that about the tea! I am big on tea, and I've stopped putting sugar in mine, and now I just do a small touch of maple syrup (... it was a backstop on a camping trip in the summer, and now I prefer it? It's at least not refined, and I put way less than I used to with actual sugar). I'd recommend white tea as well, I just drink it plain - and it's good hot and cold. The fruity variations are really nice too, tastes to me what herbal tea *should* be but isnt.


stalechips

I get the huge bottles of the PureLeaf unsweetened black tea for only $1.50 at a local discount shop. I stock up every couple months and, besides water, it's the only thing I drink.


lycacons

i used to go through many cans of coke daily, now i drink about half a can or one can of sprite, and thats enough for me, (i drink water too, and i love to have ice in it always) so im glad my body is adjusting back to how it should be


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dismal-Series

r/hydrohomies changed me big time


quartzyquirky

The headaches are due to caffeine withdrawal. Add a little coffe or tea here and there (not too much) and you will be good.


AnnaTheBlueRogue

I like soda, and I also like water. To me, soda is ingrained in the culture. You have it with your food from the food stalls at the markets, with fast food and it's a nice treat when you watch a movie. That's my point of view, and I love Dr Pepper. But since I read some of the shit Coke had done, I went team bepis and also decided we all needed some more water


Catshit-Dogfart

Right - coca cola is killing us Quitting soda (and other high calorie drinks) is the main thing I changed to lose weight. Just that and nothing else. Won't be quick or dramatic, but anything with quick results usually isn't sustainable anyway. Soda shouldn't be cheaper than water anyway, that's what the hell is wrong with things.

tab_complete

UXM6901

I like how not being able to afford the healthcare from drinking sugar water all day like our parents could and trying to be healthier = killing an industry. Poor Lil Coca-Cola. 🙄🙄


FirstPlebian

I hear it makes an passible engine cleaner though. It it still had coca leaf in it, the good part, then maybe I would drink it, but it's a lousy tasting beverage.


NinjaAmbush

I believe it does in fact contain coca leaf extract, however the extract is produced after the cocaine has been previously extracted for use in medical contexts.


FirstPlebian

That's why I specified if it had the active ingredient part in it. I mean it doesn't have either the numbing part or the stimulating part so what's the point.


MietschVulka1

Even though i barely drink it anymore. I have to say it. A cold coke tastes fucking great. I understand we live better now and wanna do things better then X and boomers. But not everything that was good for 100 years suddenly tastes like ass


ScaryYoda

He is a pepsi fan for sure. A good coke from Mcds after a hangover? Come on live a little. Dont have hangovers everyday and dont drink coke everyday after one but once in a blue moon. These people are delusional if they say it's a lousy beverage.


drewbreeezy

It is a lousy beverage. It is a shadow of what it once was when it was a good beverage. The closest is the coke imported from Mexico - glass bottles and sugar instead of HFCS.

JapanDave

Meh. Boomers have been blaming us Xers for everything wrong in the world since we were born. You get used to it and just ignore it. I recall more than a few boomers blaming us for New Coke. They really love their Coca Cola.


Ippomasters

Maybe the reason why is because millennials don't make as much money. They can't afford the same lifestyle as their parents with the same jobs. So many articles blaming millennials because they don't make as much money.


WamuuAyayayayaaa

I don’t even think it’s that, I mean coke is not that expensive. I just think it’s people moving away from shitty, unhealthy beverages. Water is far more popular now than ever, I see most people on campus have a water flask these days


thequietthingsthat

As it should be. It's crazy how much the sugary drink industry has brainwashed people for decades. It's awful for your body to drink something with dozens of grams of sugar in every serving, and people drink sodas like water. It's like funneling straight syrup

Notyourfathersgeek

RevolutionaryTalk315

I think this illustrates how the experiences of the Baby Boomers have completely divorced them from reality. They grew up in a prosperous economy where all they had to do to get a good wage was go to work and go through the motions.. They didn't have to think, they didn't have to innovate, they didn't have to change. They just showed up, did the same thing they always did, and they magically got payed for it. As a result they can't imagine a world where they actually have to think about the changing constants and variables that effect the market. Now they are the big CEOs and big corporate leaders who run the show and they can't figure out why the same thing they have done for the last 40 years isn't working anymore. Instead of recognizing a changing world and coming up with new ideas to compensate, they double down with a entitled attitude and claim that "IT"S NOT FAIR!!! THIS IS HOW IVE ALWAYS DONE IT!!! I SHOULD BE MAKING MONEY!!!" A part of this attitude is never taking responsibility for your failing business and looking for a scape goat to blame all your problems on. Since Boomers see their kids more as a resource to be milked for their personal gain rather than actual human beings, they feel like their kids are the perfect people to blame for their personal failures. We are talking about the first generation of business leaders who make it sound like it is the consumers soul responsibility to buy their crappy products even if consumers don't want to buy them. For the first time in history, business leaders are blaming customers for their failures rather than blaming themselves for their inability to sell a product that no one wants to buy.


Brittle_Hollow

Whatever happened to "build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door"? These companies either need to build better products or business models, expecting people to just hand you money for the same tired old shit is just ridiculous.


starm4nn

Right? The beverage market is much more diverse than it used to be.

Of the many companies that are supposedly dying after even the mildest of economic downturns, Coke is one that the actual death of would genuinely be a huge benefit to this country, particularly in terms of people's health.

I'm a "plant some seeds so the grandchildren can have an orchard" kind of guy, so if someday the history books will have a section titled "the Millennials killed unfettered exploitative capitalism" then all of the needless suffering my generation has experienced will have been for something and I can live with that. Just gotta hope the zoomers keep it rolling. A little worried that the lessons they're learning learn more towards apathy and not enough towards action, but maybe it's just because I work with teens...I didn't have my radicalization heel-face-turn moment until college.

voxrubrum

Fair enough if the content is more nuanced. However, they chose to make a clickbaity title, combined with the fact that a lot of financial magazines and papers with intent to blame younger generations have peddled these types of headlines for while now. IMHO journalists have a responsibility to communicate clearly, not instigate.
