Scraps Of My Life

Brain farts, a thread

Your friends drink it (but only for fun, never for important stuff). Your classmates are obsessed with it. Your teachers say students aren't allowed to have arsenic smoothies in school, then immediately take a sip of their arsenic smoothie. There's ads recommending it for pregnant women and birthday parties and pet owners and grandparents and every possible thing you can think of. You try to buy a smoothie, it's got arsenic in it. You go to a different shop, also arsenic. You go to a smoothie shop with your family and they call you dramatic when you ask if the smoothies have arsenic in them. There's children's toys that make arsenic smoothies from voice command. Why would you have a heartfelt moment with your loved ones preparing a smoothie with the fruits you grew together when you can order a box of arsenic smoothies by arsenic smoothie drone, same-hour delivery? It's so much easier, it's so much more convenient, everyone already does it, everyone in the future will drink it anyway, we have to adapt.

All the big arsenic smoothie companies are squashing the regular smoothie businesses under their boots made of cash and bones. You point out that that's kinda bad, but everyone just says the smoothie businesses have to adapt, this is the age of arsenic smoothies after all.

There's overwhelming evidence that arsenic smoothies are bad in every possible aspect, but everyone around you chooses to ignore it, because it's so much easier, it's so much more convenient, everyone already does it, everyone in the future will drink it anyway, we have to adapt.
