    Pizza Hut and KFC are owned by Pepsi, which also owns Taco Bell. BK merged with Tim Horton’s and together own Popeyes. This leaves only Wendy’s and Arby’s as the only uncancelled national fast food chains.

      Contributing to the economy in general helps Israel. It’s a good idea to spend less in general to hurt the American economy.

        For me, maybe this will be the right motivation to loose weight 😅

      Not really. Federal spending comes before the system is taxed, not after, thus they will always tell the federal reserve to print the money they need when they want to. Your taxes get destroyed.

    listing a whole bunch of companies to boycott results in an uncoordinated response that has little if any impact. it’s better to find the groups that have been working at this for a while like this one https://bdsmovement.net/

    Damn, I had a fast food burger earlier today. I didn’t know, I’m sorry. I voluntarily submit myself to the gulag.

      Wow, I did not expect Fiverr and Wix.com

      I knew SodaStream was an Israeli company, which is why I stopped paying for replacement tanks and bought a CO2 tank from eBay to refill at some local shop and an adapter kit from AliExpress (recommended guide for SodaStream tank and flavor alternatives), which saves a lot of money anyway.

          I bought too much G-Fuel and have been using it to make carbonated energy drinks. I may buy another brand of energy powder when I run out of my current stock. I also bought concentrates, citric acid, and sodium benzoate from https://www.heavenlysnowcones.com/ and Acesulfame Potassium from https://pforlife.com/acesulfame-potassium-ace-k-200x-sweeter-than-sugar-kosher-semi-natural-granular-sweetener.html that I still need to get around to using.

          I have carbonated various other things before, including lemongrass I grew in my garden to make lemongrass soda, but it was too sickly sweet and the recipe needed to be tweaked. I bought a grape-like concentrate from a local African store that I didn’t care for too much. I bought syrups from a local Bosnian store that were decent. I have used Mexican drink mix powder. Crystal Light packets were pretty good. I have also just drank carbonated water alone, and my wife mainly makes carbonated water.

          There’s probably more I have experimented than I have mentioned. G-Fuel powder tastes really good when carbonated, but I may not recommend G-Fuel as they are not really an ethical company, and their powder has a weird composition that doesn’t really do a good job for energy and concentration. You can be very creative with your carbonated drinks, and you are not limited to the syrups that are typically sold for the sole purpose of being used with SodaStream bottles.

          Also, I would love to figure out how to grow and use miracle berries as a sweetener than sugar or a carcinogenic compound to make sweet and healthier carbonated drinks.
