Is The White Lotus Trying to Kill the Smoothie Industry?

Spoilers for The White Lotus season 3, episode 8, “Amor Fati.”

In the final episode of The White Lotus’ third season, Lochlan Ratliff narrowly escaped death by what seemed to be a Bosch VitaBoost 1600 W. Here’s how it happened: Timothy Ratliff had been contemplating suicide the day before but instead opted for a more dramatic action – gathering seeds from a specific tree called pong-pong and blending them into piña coladas for his family, except for Lochlan whom he chose to spare because Lochy told his father he could survive as a Poor.

Tim swiftly adjusted his actions to prevent a tragic outcome for his family, as he believed the coconut milk had spoiled – however, he neglected to clean the dirty blender that was left on the counter. Unfortunately, Lochlan, being an untidy teenager, didn’t wash out what he thought was spoiled coconut milk from the blender before preparing one of his brother’s protein shakes. The toxic substance affected the wrong sibling, putting poor Lochy in a precarious situation.

The internet struggled to believe the smoothie controversy, as one Twitter user exclaimed, “Who uses an unclean blender? I want to feel sympathetic but I can’t.” Below are some of the best memes and reactions to Lochlan Ratliff’s close call with death due to a smoothie.

Is it possible that Vitamix intentionally avoided the spotlight, similar to how villains are often portrayed as avoiding Apple products? Vulture has reached out to Bosch for clarification on this matter.
