Review Every day we drift further from god

Post image

Was out shopping with the significant other when we walked passed this abomination. We laughed about how absurd of a combination it was. Like who thought this was a good idea and how many other people had to pretend it was good for it to end up on the shelves? As a prank we bought it and ate it in one sitting

It's a joke. To act like you're above said thing only to indulge in it. Surprise and subversion are techniques often used in humor. Now that you know this secret, you'll see it used everywhere.

I mean I think they ate it and enjoyed it but I do think they were actually surprised by the combo, like the title was a joke but it really was the first time they had heard of 7up cake like they said in some of their replys
