In 1986 a girl at my school brought her hot dogs in a thermos because her idea was she'd eat the hot dog and then have a nice refreshing drink afterwards. It is 37 years later and I still remember the look on her face afterwards, and how she just quietly closed up her thermos and never mentioned it again.

IDK if people know this, but unless your metal-lined reusable cups very specifically and EXPLICITLY tell you that you CAN use anything other than water, you're slowly giving yourself aluminum and other metal poisoning. Aluminum cans actually have a thin layer of PFOA plastic on the inside that keeps the cans from degrading into the highly acidic soda. Almost everything we consume is more acidic than water. That includes bacteria and its waste. Aluminim--when *properly* prepared and left entirely smooth--is stable at the pH of water. If it has any scratches from any kind of abrasive--including ice, sugar, spoons, dish cloths or sponges, etc.--it will break down no matter what. These people should be mass reported for encouraging people to poison themselves.

No, it started by someone who had undergone bariatric surgery, and it mixed wi the Stanley cup people and then it took off from there. It’s not “toxic diet culture,” it’s a trend started by someone who had undergone surgery.

@Jimmy as toxic diet culture (which encourages bariatric surgery which has a tremendous rate of regret and suicidality) has shown us with everything from Keto (which was developed by doctors as a last resort to treat seizure disorders) to taking diabetes drugs (which has led to a national shortage), what something started as and how it spreads is disconnected.
