"State Beverage" is midcentury marketing brain worms for large agribusinesses. It might be quaint but they sold a shit ton through idiotic reflexive reactionary nationalism.

It's such a parasitic version of state flowers/trees. The blue columbine being our state flower means it's illegal to pick one. Our public lands can be unimaginably beautiful because the columbine fields are so thick that they perfume the air. Dairies poison my water as much as their product poisons me.

Yeah I saw tomato juice for Ohio and just immediately assumed it was a lobbying campaign from the 60s, they only produce about 1% of California's yield though.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My quick google searches say that Ohio made it tomato juice to coincide with a regional state fair that centered around tomatoes. Apparently Ohio was the largest producer of tomatoes in the US in 1965.

Tomato juice is the most punk drink, Ohio doesn't deserve it.

Nebraska absolutely deserves theirs however

Let me have just one win for being born in this shithole state.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

tomato juice is amazing and you can put black pepper or whatever in it and then it's spicy tomato juice and it's amazing.

[–] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

And then you put vodka in it 😋

Tomato juice isn't bottom shelf booze, and is therefore disqualified for most punk rock drink

milk is the most fascist beverage

[–] LupineTroubles@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I agree instinctively, is there a reason why this is the case?

Treatment of cattle is not that different to how fascists view and treat humans.

One of the few drinks directly extracted from the body of an exploited being.

possibly because it's inextricably linked with animal agriculture, specifically one of an industrial scale

grossshuddering at the thought of mixing milk and Fanta

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

I was doing a bit at work recently where it's the opening scene of Inglorious Basterds but Hanz Landa has never heard of milk before or seen a cow. Once he finds out what they've been doing to cows he figures there is no way those freaks would be harboring jews

doggirl-smug heh. State beverage. So dumb. I wonder what my dumb state made theirs.

doggirl-tears We don't even have one?? What kind of bullshit is this?

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That means your state beverage is water, right?

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That means people in his state are cautioned aginst getting addicted to water bakunin-immortan

My state doesn't have an official beverage, probably because it would be ranch dressing.

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is probably part of post-war US dairy industry lobbying.

Being able to process cow's milk is a whole insane thing in white-supremacist circles.

To be fair there only used to be about 3 different kinds of drinks when the USA settled the frontier: milk, whiskey, and laudenum

[–] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

don't forget (hard) cider and (slavery) rum

This has got to be connected to how the dairy lobby got huge after WW2. Like this is probably connected to when the agribusiness lobbyists convinced the FDA or whoever to put a dairy category on the food pyramid.

[–] regul@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

Imagining being a dairy farmer who started clapping his hands like a seal when this law was enacted in my state, thinking about all the future milk customers I'd get because of it.

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 months ago

Please stand up to salute the flag and sip the state soft drink

[–] Ishmael@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Time for Illinois to make theirs malort

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

21 of them accepted milk lobby money, you mean lmao

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

lmao, Maine's is whatever this is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moxie

and while Nebraska's official state beverage is Milk, they list the state soft drink as Kool Aid. which is fucking hilarious and instructive about Nebraska.

my guess is the Official "TV Show" of Nebraska is whatever VHS tape of a high school homecoming game from 1989 happened to be on the only TV in the state house when the law was passed in 1997.
