Making it as profitable as possible for as few corporations as we can.
First they came for the Red 40, then they came for the Blue 2...
YOU'LL NEVER TAKE MY ORANGE 538, COPPERS!!
Friend brought back some Twizzlers (sp?) from the US. They tasted bad and the packet said "less than 2% petroleum" which was worrying.
I can’t find decent red 40 & etc. free drink options in my area so I do this recipe;
- 3/4 of a cup of sugar to a 2quart container then stir in sugar.
- Then do a fruit water infusion with frozen blueberries by adding half a cup of them.
- Soak at room temperature for 2hours.
- Scoop out the berries and top off the water to the fill line and refrigerate.
