Chilling how effective a deluge of advertising can be on a population of 12-year-olds. Its easy to see how so many Americans were addicted to cigarettes from the 50s to the 70s. Just hammering people's brains with lies and peer pressure.

I saw prime bottles in a video about native american traditional woodcarvers.

People drink way too many energy drinks up in Canada too.

Prime Bottles = gatorade-like.

Prime Cans = caffeinated energy drink.

Not sure how they got popular with such limited selection and a flavor somehow more watered down than gatorade but shrug

Aaaahhh that makes more sense.

The idea of these tranquil woodworkers blitzed on caffeine was what stuck out to me.
