Answer :

No idea when it happened, perhaps it’s always been this way. Hilarious quote from Fairly Odd Parents (translated from Dutch): Timmy is experimenting with many different flavours of lemonade. After having tried a lot, he still hasn’t found a delicious flavour. <Wanda> Maybe you need to try something more sweet. Cosmo drenches his sock in a glass of lemonade. <Wanda> I said sweet, not feet! <Cosmo> Oh, I thought you said “drench your sweaty sock in a glass of lemonade”! xD OK, I guess that’s in the category “it’d be funny if you were there” :P
