Unleaded tastes a little tangy. Supreme is kinda sour, and diesel tastes pretty good -Ricky, The Trailer Park Boys.
That was my first thought too, followed by “should’ve tasted diesel in stead” 😄
I read that as “in steed” and was momentarily very concerned for a non-existent horse.
You say shitpost, but this is or at least was reality. During the worse of times, gas could be either counterfeit or diluted and the best known way to tell on the spot was by taste. Even then, you couldn’t be sure so you had to feel how the car drove after refueling.
There’s probably lots of deadened tongues in countries with fuel supply issues.
Those are all diet gasoline, gimme a cup of that good old fashioned sweet leaded gasoline!
Head to your local gen aviation airfield. It’s like Whole Foods for gasoline aficionados!
Bleh, I actually tried to get a job refueling airplanes, but apparently either they just didn’t like me and wanted to hire a friend or family member, or the fact that I previously worked at Texaco went against some company policy. 🤷
They knew.
So I know everyone is thinking this may be gasoline, but have no fear: it’s urine
Most gasoline in your area is gonna come from the same port or distribution facility.
Some companies might order additives mixed in when they load it into the tanker truck but it’s the same base gas.
One, flashbacks to being about four or five and deciding to try that teacup full of something my dad was using to clean a carburetor or similar. Do not recommend.
Two, in junior high I did a science project to see what would kill seedlings quickest: bleach, windex, or gasoline. Water was the control.
massive, unpredictable spoiler
It was the gasoline. I was a weird kid.
I like that he’s being environmentally friendly by using metal straws.
Or is that because real straws would disintegrate in the gasoline?
its an EU taste test. No plastic straws allowed.
Oddly enough, the ld50(how much to kill half the people who would drink it) is well over a gallon for gasoline.
Not that it wouldn’t cause problems, but he would be alive if he drank all of that.
*edit- I’m getting conflicting results on this, now. Some sources have the ld50 at less than a quart for an adult.
I’m pretty bad at estimating anything, but those are 5 large glasses (albeit not fully filled), surely he’s at least approaching a gallon, if not more?
Those cups look to each have about 20 ounces in them, so about 100 oz total.
However, I just went to double check and I’m getting conflicting results on the amount to ld50, now. It may be as low as 14 ounces for an adult.
Does gasoline really taste differently from differnet companies? I thought gasoline is gasoline?
Probably, some gas has various amounts of ethanol and other proprietary blend additives to supposedly make your engine run better/smoother.
I dunno though, I’m not exactly in the habit of tasting the stuff. As long as the gas station doesn’t have a reputation of having water in their gasoline, I just get whatever the cheapest plain unleaded I can find that day.
I do this every time I go for diesel….gotta make sure I buy diesel not petrol.
“WTF? This Shell gas does not taste unleaded at all!”
Seems real to be, people lick toilets for views so let’s make this meme a reality guys!
We all know that Costco has the best gas
That is NOT how you huff gas, man.
Chat, how do I make friends like this?
At the gas station, I would think
I’m to lazy to clean both the metal straw and the rubber covers, I just clean the metal straw and forget about the rubber part. So I guess not around me.
