Valium, cocaine laced sodas, and aspic for dinner? Sign me up!
I genuinely think… How did people live back then… How weren’t they severely malnourished…
A lot of those jello monstrosities were filled with fruit and veggies.
Oof dont threaten me with a good time. Throw in those separate tiny beds too.
I believe everything would be right again in the world if we started making cocaine-cola again
I thought it was because they wanted to get railed over the kitchen table with their face in the mashed potatoes.
The wife or the husband?
Lol
I’m good with the meth for weight loss and benzos for sleep. Someone else can have the other parts. Hard drugs with no questions asked, please.
The trade off for the weight loss is a face that looks 30 years older 🤮. The reason people in old videos look so old is because of drugs and cigarettes
Is this a coke fueled creative way of telling your husband what you want? ;)
I’d say it’s more of a benzo fueled passive aggressive go fuck yourself because I don’t have equal rights of citizenship
A gangbang!
For some reason, I’m reminded of sharpies.
We don‘t talk about the sharpie incidents here. Please.
Wow I have not seen this gif in years
Username…uhhh, checks out
After a lobotomy you won’t be going anywhere by yourself.
Let alone enjoying recreational drugs.
they took the cocaine out of the cola waaay before that
You could put it back in yourself though
Hmmm… in the US, I think cocaine cola was illegal in the 50s, but you could get amphetamines pretty easily…
It gets worse. Coca-cola removed the coke because of racism.
oh it gets even worse than that. the coca leaves are shipped to Jersey so the cocaine can be removed before use in the drink! source.
Believe it or not it gets worse than that. Santa Claus was invented by Coca Cola and created the red and white color scheme because it matched the colors of the can.
They did this to try to come up with a way to convince people to by a cold drink in the winter.
Santa Claus existed before coke ads, he just traditionally wore green.
That’s not worse.
Oh, but it gets else. Coca Cola can be used to both clean your toilets AND moisten your cakes!
hmmm… historically, coca leaves were holy to the indigenous people of the andes and still play an important cultural role. ok, that’s all I’m gonna argue.
And beserkers chugged a cocktail of psychedelic mushrooms and Odin knows what else, they then went apeshit or went into a dream walk and bashed some Saxons skull in. Drugs have played important roles within various cultures and traditions through the millenia, so long as you aren’t being an ass about it to the cultures it doesn’t seem particularly relevant to what someone outside said traditions does with it.
Getting high as shit shouldn’t be an important cultural role…
As much as I want it to be.
Getting high as shit may be the origin of culture to have cultural roles in the first place
Getting high as shit has had an important cultural role in most of the world at one point in time or another. Westerners got away from it post-Christendom but even then it’s been a thing basically everywhere at one point or another, unless nothing psychedelic grows there, and even then there are ways to achieve ecstatic states to roughly similar effect through extreme asceticism - if there’s not something to eat or smoke to get there then your shaman might have to starve and dehydrate himself then be suspended in the air through rods run through his chest, but you can get there either way.
Common misconception. Raw coca leaves don’t get you high. Coca leaves are chewed to help alleviate altitude sickness and improve physical performance at high altitudes.
From what I understand, people chew on them all day. It’s kinda like drinking coffee all day. And coffee does get you a little high as well for sure. (Haven’t had caffeine in years, tried it again recently. Definitely some mild euphoria and was horrible for my resting heart rate and anxiety. I usually hang around 40-50bpm but black tea put me up to like 60-100.)
It helps with the high altitude/low oxygen of the mountains.
Better it being holy and treated with respect than however it’s being used in our culture today.
I’m pretty sure they were popping barbiturates back then. Benzos weren’t a thing until the 60s.
I think quaaludes were also popular
I think everyone wants to live in a world where it is socially acceptable to pop benzos and do cocaine (although I’m pretty sure it was speed back then, but I’d still take it).
Coca-Cola literally used to contain cocaine. It started life as a patent medicine made from coca leaf and kola nut, and expanded from there. By the 1950s they at least on paper were already cocaine free - they switched to “spent” leaves in 1904 (leaves that already had cocaine extracted and so only had what was left due to inefficiencies in the process) and later switched to extract made by a third party that was invested in being thorough in removing the cocaine since they were selling that for medical use as well so any cocaine in the extract sold to Coca-Cola was a loss in their higher-dollar product.
Thanks for the mansplaination! 😉
How dare people share information on the internet!
Wasn’t mansplaining, but the word you were trying to spell is mansplanation
It absolutely was. It was tangential to my comment. Information I already had (which you could glean from my comment). And completely unnecessary.
Thanks for calling out the typo!
So were you saying people called cocaine “speed” back then?
No, I think they did speed, not coke in the 50s. In the form of diet pills
I believe they were trying to say that the stimulant of the 50s was speed (aka an amphetamine)
Then the person who originally responded to them wasn’t mansplaining, and used facts to contradict what they said. Then they acted like they already knew that
That’s not mansplaining. Nice try, though.
It absolutely is: Mansplaining is a colloquial term referring to a man condescendingly explaining something to someone, typically a woman, who already understands it, often in a way that assumes the other person’s ignorance. It was info I already had (which a reader could glean from my comment), did not require the explanation, and was tangential to my comment.
Whats the gender of the text based comment?
No, it wasn’t. Their explanation wasn’t condescending, they very likely didn’t know you were a woman, you likely didn’t know they were a man, and from your comment it wasn’t obvious that it was knowledge you already had.
They were sharing knowledge and you got defensive for no reason. Be better, because you were the only one being condescending.
Hmmm…No…very unwise.
Nothing is stopping you.
Yeah, i would bet lots of rich housewives still do this shit.
FYI hotdog jello is called aspic
