Hello there denizen of the internet, it appears your sarcasm detector is malfunctioning. Please visit the nearest authorized service center for repairs.

Yeah, it's a common internet joke satirizing right-wing pundits.

Got mine on Amazon too. Bimmerworld, Pelican Parts and Turner Motorsports all had it listed but said that the product was no longer available.

I like how it's supposed to be amber so you can tell it from other automotive fluids...yeah, like gear/diff oil, fresh engine oil, or orange coolant which are easy to tell from amber...

I think it's supposed to be clear to amber so average Joe can see when it's turned to black gunk and therfore years past its flush date! If Joe had put Blue in, he may not notice it turning black 5 years later.

Shrug, I prefer Motul.

Despite being water based, could you not add blue food coloring at time of bleeding so you know when you've bled the fluid through the system? If you are bleeding it out, it'll be gone along with the other crud you were trying to get rid of in the first place.

It's not really sarcasm/satire if you have to tell people, is it?

I can just see the scene down at the FLAPS. Guy walks in and picks up a few needed items and as he heads to the counter he gives the guy a knowing nod.

Guy behind the counter looks around and shuts the front door, motioning to the customer to follow him to the back. Once there, a hidden door opens and behind it are shelves loaded with SuperBlue.

Just then the customer pulls a gun and badge out and yells to the guy, "DOT! Get on the ground! NOW!" Suddenly through every window and door in the place, DOT inspectors come pouring in, their ties flapping in the breeze.....

Remember, friends don't let friends use SuperBlue.....

on the interwebz sometimes people seem to get butthurt when something was meant in jest/fun ... the sarcasm emoticon would (maybe) help with that

It's an Internet meme.

Because people like to blame him for various Federal agencies enforcing laws that have been on the books for forty-fifty years. (See: Blocking sale of kits that remove the smog equipment from new trucks...)

ya know .... that's not a bad idea .. the only thing "good" about Ate blue vs amber is the ability to tell when all the old fluid is gone

I am amazed some people haven't heard that in some way or form yet.......That is what is shocking to be honest.

I confess, I don't spend much time on forums other than this one and a few other automotive sites. My sincerest apologies for not knowing this meme. Perhaps I need to spend less time outside and more time online.

That said, I've seen stranger political statements on this forum that weren't in jest.

In reply to Nathan JansenvanDoorn:

You get a free pass for being a Cannuck on this one.......next time you'll have to write "Thanks Obama" and "Merci Obama" 1000 times on a chalkboard though, so tread wisely.

I've seen this story blowing up all day in various forums, this is the first chance I've had to read about it. Seriously? The ONLY reason they are condemning it is because it's not clear?

Next question, is it really that much better than any other brake fluid? Or am I missing something Capt Obvious can show me?

It's good, but it's not the best. The reason that i went with it is the easy flushing due to the color. Bleed until the color swaps. Done. No "did I get it all out?" questions.
