too much carbonation. they'd notice. I think the true play is to fill it with soy sauce, so that you can casually take a sip during meetings to freak people out.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 75 points 6 months ago

Cold brew might work and look better

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Okay. Flat Coke/Pepsi it is then.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Equally unhinged as the soy sauce

Gross. Who sips coffee?

You should fill a Starbucks cup with soy sauce and sip that.

It’s even better because you can offer them a sip. Then they too can understand the greatest thirst quencher

you can do similar with a mayonnaise container and yogurt

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 83 points 6 months ago (7 children)

I fill yogurt cups with mayonnaise so I can eat mayonnaise in the office without people giving me the side-eye

Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas. Omnis incursio infernalis adversii omnis congregatio et secta diabolica. Ergo, draco maledicte, ecclesiam tuam securi tibi facias libertate servire. Te rogamus. Audi nos.

[–] LazerFX@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

Roughly translated:

We exorcise you, every unclean spirit, every satanic power. Every infernal invasion of adversity, every diabolical assembly and sect. Therefore, curse the dragon, make your church safe to serve you in freedom. We ask you. Listen to us.

My father used to open cat food tins from the bottom clean the cat food out after it had been used and then fill the rest with chocolate mousse and reseal the bottom of the can. Then open the top of the cat food can, stick in his spoon and start to eat it.

He did this 20 odd years ago and is still famous for it all these years later.

The better office prank is to fill condoms with yogurt for DIY gogurt.

There's an urban legend about animators at Pixar pranking Listerine executives while making a commercial. They filled one of the bottles with apple juice and made $20 bets to drink it. Supposedly one of the reps watching it being chugged went running for the bathroom to throw up.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 50 points 6 months ago (3 children)

The original version is amber colored like ~~urine~~ apple juice.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh I've never seen that. Wonder if they changed it to make it look less palatable.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

No, I think it’s because blue is associated with cooling. The blue is mint flavored, the yellow very much isnt

Yeah apparently used to be golden colored. Which I'm surprised by because I was always under the impression that companies were required by law to make non-edible liquids, such as disinfectants, look unpalatable. Perhaps that's just an EU thing.

(seems weird to say edible liquid but I don't know how else to articulate it)

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fabuloso

This is floor cleaner, not juice...

I think the term is potable.

[–] hypertext5689@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 months ago

Potable is the word. :)

Listerine execs were two steps ahead and replaced the apple juice with urine.

A drink company in Japan came out with a drink called 'nanchatte orenji' which looked a lot like soy sauce.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The real twist would be if it also tasted like soy sauce.

[–] SecretSauces@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

"It's almost as if I'm actually drinking soy sauce!"

Having mistakenly bought three bulk containers of soy sauce from Costco over a two year period, looking forward to having this problem.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago (4 children)

How exactly does this kind of mistake occur multiple times over years?

Soy sauce in the coffee pot. Surprise!

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

You’re on to something… cold brew black coffee in the soy sauce bottle!

[–] AceSLS@ani.social 20 points 6 months ago (3 children)

This will make you look weird at most

Sterilize a bleach bottle or some other very unsafe to drink container and use that as your water bottle instead for the real chaos

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

After you're done, wash your soap.

[–] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning?

[–] shy_mia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 6 months ago

To be fair, your insides will be clean. So clean there'll be nothing left.

I think you mean decontaminate, as bleach itself is a very common sterilizing agent.

Toilet bowl cleaner would be a good idea since it has a twist top

[–] AceSLS@ani.social 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah, you're probably right. Didn't know the proper english term. Thanks for correcting me

[–] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 13 points 6 months ago

I brought a used bottle of vegetable oil as my drinking bottle to an event. What I didn't consider was that the bottle resembled a vodka bottle, so while I was taking sips of it and thought it was funny, people just thought I was a raging alcoholic.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No no no, you fill it with syrup.
