01/29/25 Show 244 : How Much Longer Shall We Tolerate Regulatory Opposition to Chlorate?

as you may or may not have heard, the Coca Cola Corporation has issued a recall order in Europe for several  of their products (Coke Jr., Coke Edge,  Fanta Medium, Tab CMD,  Evil Sprite) due to what’s being called higher than usual levels of chlorate, a by-product of chlorine-based sanitizers.  I don’t know, it seems like sanitizers are a good thing, right? Unlike Europe, here in the USA regulations are being shredded by the new administration and while this is almost entirely terrible news, if you’re looking for a silver lining consider that we’re never gonna be without Coke Edge and there might even be a new variant with EXTRA CHLORATE.  If this means Mike Francesa expires from a chlorate overdose, at least he went out doing what he loved (guzzling Coke Edge) and who doesn’t want their insides to smell like a swimming pool (many associate the pool with leisure and family fun).   (above - it’s great that you know “a guy”, but can he hook you up with this impressive a supply of sodium chlorate?)
