How much weight is all that concrete adding to the floor, too? I'd be worried about the joists and everything.

It “poisons” the concrete and prevents it from setting as fast or as hard.

Do concrete pourers usually carry sugar on hand, just in case somebody fucks up?

You know, it probably doesn't hurt to carry a few pounds in a concrete truck. Always have some on hand for your coffee or tea, bring some lemon powder and you can make lemonade, sounds nice actually.

I just had a mental image of somebody sterilizing a mixer truck and using it to pour the biggest smoothie ever.

Or mix the dough to an actual gingerbread house.

You sir have some darn good ideas. But, hear me out. Let's take it a step further. Imagine pulling up to a party in a MARGARITA MIXING TRUCK. You could even divide the tanks in 4 and serve Strawberry, Classic Lemon Lime, Cola, and Non-Alcoholic!

Must be a NA thing, because that clearly is not 0.91 meter beer.

Judging by the size of that glass you need at least 8 to 12 of those before they make a meter of beer.

A lot of people in the margarita machine community have already put together some pretty good margarita mixing trucks. Common thing to do is get an old Unimog flatbed, mount an Albers and Tomlinson rotary with external drive so you can hook it directly to the PTO, and tack up a dispensing frame that hangs off the back. You can easily get 12 MPM out of that without stressing the engine, and the diesel is fuel-efficient enough that you can run that rate consistently through an entire sporting event on a single tank and still have enough to get home. Can't say I've ever seen a mobile unit built out of a cement mixer, though; that'd be a sight.

There was an episode on Dirty Jobs like that, where the whole neighborhood's sewage backed up into this one lady's finished basement. They just dealt with the cleanup though.

By the way, it was much worse than that picture.

The trick is managing to do it as a continuous pour for the entire payload.

Margarita machining is a dying trade old man. Today it's all about margaritas 3d printing.

Only for one-off/low-volume margarita prototypes. Margarita 3d printing just can't compete when it comes to large-scale margarita production.

I was actually just watching a video about using a twin-scroll type supercharger to mix room temperature tequila, triple sec, and lime, at high pressures, then using forced air to cool the pressurized mixture back down to room temperature in such a way that the mixture, when depressurized, achieves a perfect slush coefficient. With a sufficiently large intercooler and the right air flow, there's no limit to your MPM!

Surely you'd fill one cement mixer with baileys and then add in the lime juice as you poured, I don't know what all this "margarita" nonsense is about.
