The Most Delicious Drink on the Planet

"Simply Lemonade with Mango" has got to be the most amazing thing I have ever drank in my entire life. I have been drinking it for some time now, and it hits the spot every single time. I buy a 59oz bottle of it at Walmart for about 2 dollars. I would highly recommend anybody to give it a try. If you are disappointed in it, then there is clearly something wrong with you, and it is not my fault.

1. A 59oz bottle at $2 is a somewhat expensive soft drink. For a non-refrigerated product that's about 3 times the price of a typical 2 liter, which is about 130 ounces - especially in a place like Walmart - but if it is considered a "premium quality" product then it might be worth it.

2. Some people will not shop at Walmart over opposition to its violations of law; it's anti-union stand; its cavalier treatment of employees (stores routinely gave emoloyees directions on where to apply and forms for fill out if the low wages they paid were enough to qualify an emploee for welfare and food stamps); its routine practice of closing stores if the labor environment was unacceptable to the company; and its pricing strategy which pushed low prices at all costs, even to the extent of driving local merchants who could not compete out of business (not that there is anything wrong with selling as cheaply as you can, as long as you aren't losing money, but if you can slash overhead so low you can sell below the cost of some of your competitors, there is a danger that if Walmart closes in a community - and sometimes they do - then there are no longer any stores in that community.

Walmart has been caught many times engaging in a number of illegal practices. My brother once joked at watching a Walmart commercial where a woman told how she started as a greeter and worked up to store manager. My brother then mentioned after she told how she watched over 200 employees in her store, he said, "And locked them in at night."

Several years later Walmart would be fined for locking in cleaning people in stores all night so they could not escape.

I just purchased a bottle the other day, and the price went up to $2.50! It is still well within what I would consider a reasonable price for such a delicious drink.

I do not care how Walmart treats their employees. They always have the option to pursue alternative career paths where they are able to obtain more resources for their labor, and if they can not, then it would appear that Walmart is doing them a favor by employing them.

If a Walmart shuts down and leaves a community without a store to purchase food and other merchandise, then that community should have frequented their local businesses more and that would not have happened to them. It seems like that community is just getting what they deserve in this scenario.

I worked at a grocery store in high school, and I applaud any Walmart who locks their cleaning crew in at night as they are mostly dangerous perverts.

Laws-shmaws. We break laws all the time that we don't even know about. You are probably doing something right now that you didn't even realize was against the law.

Nah man. Tdarcos knows all laws and breaks none.

When you put it that way, you've got a point.
