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 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.

Not gonna lie, from the thumbnail I thought it was a fruity drink too....

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.

This is why people need consumer regulation. Bottles have one shape and soaps another

Oh that is, I also thought that was a drink, what the fuck?

What the fuck is a snickerdoodle

Never had one? It’s a somewhat common cookie variety that’s similar to a sugar cookie and has a cinnamon sugar topping.

No, is it an American thing? Sounds nice though.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It’s covered in sugar and made with a bunch of sugar. Of course it’s American!

Anyway, here’s a decent recipe if anyone wants to know what they look like or wants to make them.

They are my favorite cookie when warm, and like my 6th favorite cookie cold...

If they're not great when cold, it's possible that the ones you're eating are overcooked. They're godly when perfectly cooked.

A sugar cookie that's been to college. Should be chewy and cinnamon flavored.

is this the soda you drink while baking food?

Time to pick up some Mr. Yuck stickers.
