Funny, just today I talked with a co-worker about how be both feel like we are approaching Idiocracy.

His nephew 'watered' their plants with Coke. Not quite Mountain Dew, but also not far off.

[rkomorn]

Why would he water plants with Coke? Coke doesn't have electrolytes, and that's what plants crave.

[bayindirh]

It's a liquid. It's fine. Plus it's colored, so it must be more than water. Water is transparent. What can it contain? d'uh.

[rickdeckard]

But does it have e-lec-tro-lytes? That's what plants crave, you know.

Isn't this the point the OP was trying to make?

[FinnKuhn]

It's a quote from the movie.

[partomniscient]

Brawndo.

[fifilura]

Ok, TIL :)

[m_mueller]

[jkestner]

I bought some actual Brawndo back in the day. An energy drink company had licensed the brand. Did not share with my plants, having learned better from the movie.

I saw a TikTok of someone recommending to put cut roses in Sprite instead of water. Apparently it keeps them fresh much longer.

Yeah that works and I remember learning that in the 90s so it's pretty old.
