pondering the woods. adult. one of those he/its you hear about on the news. my art sideblog is @redactedcrowart
totally heterosexual things to say to your best and only friend with whom you’ve shared a rich history of unspoken love and sacrifice and being there for each other when no one else was
We also saw this billboard while we were out tonight and it’s now my favorite sign in the entire state of Minnesota
with due respect business insider I think that millennial fandom moms have been this site's strongest warriors for the past 15+ years
She's getting cooked on twitter but she's entirely correct
idk dude the Jack Daniel's logo is bigger than the Coca-Cola logo, I think this is a case of if you idiot-proof something nature makes a bigger idiot
Cannabis alcohol and caffeine are all regulated with labels on the packaging, and so long as they take a second to read instead of guzzling at random like a wild animal they should be fine.
people literally died because of a beverage that did not prominently display its (absurdly, dangerously high) caffeine content, and that's just the most recent example. OP is correct and saying "lol consumers are just dum-dums" feels like the McDonald's coffee lawsuit all over again.
Also maybe not everyone knows Jack Daniel's is an alcoholic company.
Plus the eye may be drawn to the pop of Red coloring (The Coca-Cola Logo) on this Monochrome Black and White Can first
It would literally be so easy to standardise this from a design perspective. All you need to do is add a coloured band around the can, for example cyan for alcohol, yellow for caffeine, magenta for CBD or THC (with lettering telling you which is which). Badly drawn with finger on phone vision below:
ALTThe bands could state the dose too.
The eye is naturally attracted to color against a monochrome black & white background. In this case, they saw Coca Cola instead of the Jack Daniel's logo. Coke Zero has an entirely too similar design, making this easier to mistake for it.
It's a design failure based on aesthetics rather than logic. All that visual noise becomes static with that little bit of color standing out because of it.
Finding the caffeine and dosage on a drink is difficult because it's rarely bolded, and it's often the same size as the rest of the information. Not all drinks even I clude the dosage. I can manage up to 40mg, any higher results in Problems, like seizures. I shouldn't have to search online for the dosage nor eto even find out if it contains caffeine.
The strips of color at the top of a can or bottle is perfect, but must include the dosage for caffeine, CBD, and THC. Alcohol percentage is always at the bottom and should have a bright strip of color as well. These are a simple solution and will save lives. Especially for those with poor eyesight, folks with allergies to these specific ingredients (I know several people allergic to cannabis and hemp) or sensitivity (me and caffeine), and/or using meds that don't play well with these additions.
Also I know this is controversial with many many people but people who you consider idiots for not reading the label more carefully also don’t deserve to go into diabetic shock / have an intolerance reaction / have a dangerous blood pressure drop / be drunk or high if they don’t want to be. Like idk if people just aren’t catching this part but the person in the original screenshot was looking for coke ZERO, got a big swallow of sugar and alcohol, and almost called 911. They are very clearly diabetic and this is an extremely serious mistake to make.
I dunno how many times we have to have the “should I care about disabled people even tho their problems don’t affect ME” conversation but it’s getting real old. If your solution is ever “just be smarter”, there is someone vulnerable that you are forsaking.
