Can we keep Gatorade when the revolution comes? (unless they’ve committed atrocities I am unaware of as is usually the case with capitalism soft-drink brands)
Been tryna wean away from buying treats but Gatorlyte/Gatorade just hits the fucking spot that IV powders and shit don’t. Lots of landscaping finishing touches before winter hits with some fall-weather work and it makes me feel normal so quickly unlike the other hydration stuff that takes forever. This feels like an advertisement for Gatorlyte but yeah. I guess mostly I’m just posting this to see if some user tells me about the Gator-Death Squads in central america squashing trade unionists or some other atrocity I’m unaware of.
you can just make your own; it’s mostly water, sugar (sucrose and dextrose) and salt, along with some kind of flavour
i know and have done that for extended trips but it doesn’t hit as hard as the treat does.
sounds like you need to modify the recipe until it has the same effect; there’s probably already research on the proportions available online
(the answer to your original question is that the new proletarian state would create its own equivalent, so there would be no need to maintain the old corporations)
Wouldn’t nationalization of the corporation basically lead to it being the same entity just reorganized in whom it rewards/enriches? I genuinely wonder if it would get a new name. Stalinade.
And yeah, I was seeing if anyone had their own similar recipes. Gotta crack their powdered/concentrate recipe from those pods/powder packs they have and it’s surprisingly tough to find an exact match online. I do make my own if I am gonna be away from a store for a couple days in a big 2l. A link I found was pretty close to what I do and my partner showed me it a while back

Really close to the yellow flavor.
it’s not just nationalization; it would fundamentally change the company by having workers directed by other workers rather than professional managers
Yea, nationalization comes first and then the transitionary period of worker control, which the design of depends entirely on the conditions of the socialist experiment in that nation/area, e.g soviets.
The nationalization period is funny to think about though. Entire capitalist corporations at first getting completely owned by whatever form of socialist experiment comes to X country. Even a soviet leading groups of local supply chains of Pepsi is a funny thought. Just the idea of Pepsi becoming socialist. Major capitalist brands that have been associated with the face of the economic hegemony now reorganizing under the will of the workers. I understand it’s happened in the past, but we are such a terminal stage of capitalism that Stalinade is just funny.
