    I fully understand the exchange students’ confusion. There’s nothing on the label that says or indicates it’s a cleaner, and that’s a plausible beverage container design.

      Even when looking at the picture, I still don’t know what it is. I’m assuming soap based on the comments, but it’s not obvious at all.

    To me it seriously looks absolutely like fruit juice that has baking soda in it for some reason I’m not aware of - maybe health benefits? And if it didn’t mention baking soda I would totally expect it to be fruit juice. But apparently it’s a household cleaner, and there’s also a watermelon version. WTF is wrong with the people who make this shit?

    I have drank such an appetizer and I must say I do not understand what the fuss is all about. It is literally the thing you add to cake - “BAKING soda”. You eat the cake and so you eat the baking soda that was added to it to make it BAKE. There is nothing remotely unhealthy about eating things meant for consumption.

      Alright. A as table salt is very much meant for consumption and present in pretty much every food there is, you wouldn’t mind backing up your statement by showing me how you eat a few large spoonfuls, since there’s “nothing remotely unhealthy” about it, right?

      I don’t believe anyone that stupid could even find themselves to Lemmy so obvious ragebait is obvious ragebait, I just wish they’d be even a little better

        I not only eat salt but I even bathe in it. I have recently bought “bathing salts”. It is a special salt that not only can be added to meals but also it has second purpose as a relaxing bath additive.

        Haters are going to hate me about the baking soda but I am fine and I felt zero negative effects. I don’t know what’s the fuss about eating a little extra of something that was already in your dessert anyway.

        My brother says it is actually good for you and replenishes soda in your blood.

          Are you twelve or schizphrenic? Because whatever you has which makes you think you’re being funny is lying to you.

          You can’t eat a tablespoon of salt. You’re not capable of doing that. End of story.

            I don’t know why you think I am joking, I have just said you everything I know about salts and their uses. Tablespoon for me is usually not enough to get through the working day anyway. I find that some bathing salt acts like coffee for me except a bit longer effect and I quite enjoy it.

      Fabulous isn’t a drink. It’s a multi-purpose cleaner that you absolutely should not drink.

    I’m Canadian and English is my first language. If I didn’t see that product in a cleaning products isle at the store, I would be very confused because it looks like a drink and while baking soda is something to clean with, it is also something to bake with. It should at very least have the words cleaner or detergent in equally large lettering on the front label.

    never mind that, why would you have baking soda in bottles???

    It’s a tiny package of white powder. What is this insanity?

        Well, in my defense, i can’t read anything on that picture that tells me it’s supposed to be floor cleaner.
        Also: Snickerdoodle? Le Fuque?

        It’s both unecological and uneconomical, for the sole benefit of not having to mix powder with tap water.

          Fabuloso is a cleaning product.

          It isn’t just tap water.

          It’s a cleaning product which also has baking soda added to it, it’s a marketing gimmick but adding baking soda to a prepackaged cleaning product isn’t exactly crazy.

            I thought baking soda was potentially useful when you made a paste with it, not when you added a tea spoon to a cubic metre of liquid.

                  Throw some in your laundry and it will help remove stank too.

                  ESPECIALLY if you accidentally forget to dry your clothes and then they get that “been sitting in the washing machine too long” funk that doesn’t like to come out in a single re-wash …

                  ask me how I know

            Its just funny and a bit concerning that nowhere on the label does it explicitly say that it’s a cleaning product. I wonder if there is a version without baking soda, that would be even more confusing.

            In almost all cases it just adjusts pH, except when it’s still a powder, then it’s an abrasive, and any time you get it bubbling, it’s reducing its value to zero by turning into water and Co2.

      Fabuloso is the best for floors. Smells so good too - good enough that you want to drink it.

      If you go to any grocery store in predominately Latine area, it’s pretty common. Lots of old ladies swear by it.

    I don’t know this brand and ngl if I saw that on a kitchen table there is a pretty good chance I’d drink it too. That is downright irresponsible label design.
