I used to know someone who had to use water thickeners because of their MS. They couldn't properly swallow fluids anymore, so they consumed e.g. thickened tea on a spoon.
Thick water? No, it's meant for people that have trouble drinking water, either because of the consistency, or a disability that prevents them from drinking it.
In what way is sirup or honey easier to swallow than water? I'm asking for real because if anything I see it as quite the opposite. There's a reason one blends food for people who have trouble consuming solids
As someone else mentioned, it can be consumed with a spoon, for example. It can be as thick as honey, so you wouldn't necessarily be drinking it from a glass.
Near the end of his life my father had a condition that made it hard to close off his windpipe when taking a sip of water. They gave him thickened water in hospital to help with that.
Oh and rereading your comment, I should add, this is meant for the opposite problem. Yeah, you blend food for people who have trouble with solids, but this is for people who have trouble with liquids and prefer solids.
I would argue the vernacular has shifted enough that when you type something, you're saying it. No, not by the strictest definition of "say," but I think we as a society are to the point you said whatever you type online.
In highschool, our first reading of R&J wasn't far from the release of Luhrmann's film. You bet there was a bunch of teenagers yelling that at each other at lunch.
Classic Rock. Civil rights. Moon landing. Birth control and abortion. Counterculture and peaceful protests making it OK to be a dissident. Making pants way more commonplace for women. And mid-century modern design.
I know it's trendy to hate on boomers, and a lot of them are out of touch and have gotten more close-minded as they've aged, but there was a lot of good that could be laid at their feet as well.
