Kids say the ~~darndest~~ *truest* things.
I thought it was detergent and I got quite excited about my clothes smelling lemony fresh but now I’m just disappointed
Your kids right, I don’t ever recall seeing a bottle of juice shaped like that.
Well goddamnit maybe she wouldn’t have used it if it didn’t look like detergent 🤣😭
I hope you keep encouraging her to question things that don’t seem right. Better to double-check than to just assume.
She’s not wrong
Well, you better put the *real* detergent out of reach.
“Made with real sugar” lol as if it was something to brag about 😂😂😂 WTF america
Kid is spot on… that’s totally a laundry detergent bottle that just happens to hold lemonade
Given the state of the US Food Industry it probably contains the same chemicals…
Off topic, but why is “made with *real* sugar” an advertising point? Is sugar hard to come by in this country?
Genuine question, no ill will intended
Definitely looks like laundry sauce
Prolly has less lemons in it than detergent does
I thought the title would say “I bought lemonade but it’s actually detergent”
I did too until I read the caption.
I too thought it was detergent at first
Nowadays you can enhance your marketing by saying you put *real* sugar in your product
No no, that kid’s got a point
Now they making edible stuff look inedible
Why is this “mildly infuriating?” Your child make an accurate statement
I did a double take. Definitely read the label but still saw detergent for a minute
At the best a jug of canola oil. That’s definitely somebody with an MBA saving .0012 cents per million units
I thought it was lemonade scented detergent on first look
Now that you said that, I can’t unsee it being and tasting like detergent.
yeah i really can’t blame here there
Facts
At this point they’re trying to make kids confused between detergent and drinks and candy on purpose
Reminds me of a similar pet peeve I have with cleaning products in juice looking bottles
10/10 times would drunkenly pour into the washer
It does look like a bottle of detergent or fabric softener lol
I also thought it was detergent!
There’s no way that isn’t a detergent bottle that some manufacturer repurposed for lemonade
it’s just the container it’s in.
We’ve come full circle
Your four year old is smarter than the designer that Kroger hired to to design that product container
Well, your floors…or dishes, or laundry…will be lemony fresh!
So you’re telling me I’ve been washing my clothes with lemonade.
The bottle kinda does.
“None for you then”
And this becomes a good opportunity to focus on reading labels
There is more sugar in this than in Coca Cola. I hope you dont see this as a healthy drink.
What does “made with real sugar” mean? I’m not from the us, what kind of sugar could it be made of if not real one? 👀
