i don’t get the ‘ocean water’ thing

Blue Spirulina Lemonade. “Ocean Water” they call it. Really? I don’t understand why we need to make kids’ drinks look like something you’d accidentally step in at the beach. This bizarre blue algae thing, masquerading as lemonade, just screams ‘I’m trying too hard.’ Do kids even know what the ocean is supposed to taste like? For all they care, it could taste like sand and sunscreen and as long as it’s neon blue, they’ll lap it up.

And what marketing genius decided that calling something “Ocean Water” would make it appealing? Have you tried drinking actual ocean water? Not fun, is it? But sure, let’s sell this fantasy that somehow spirulina makes it magical.

And let’s not ignore the disaster left behind after making it. Blue blobs staining everything from countertops to fingers, it’s a parent’s nightmare dressed up in kid-friendly marketing. It turns into a sticky mess when some inevitably spills, and guess who’s there to clean it all up. It’s not the marketing genius, I’ll tell you that.Meanwhile, here’s more nonsense to chew on.

And then they say it’s for the minerals. Come on, if I wanted minerals I’d chew on rocks. Stop trying to sell vegetables disguised as beach experiences. I’m done.
