I have come across not one, but TWO strange beverage-related instances today!


Item the First:
Bigelow Tea "Calm-a-Sutra" Scholarship

I'm turning into an old lady prude, but I find there something... inherently unnerving combining the words "scholarship" with ANY version of Kama Sutra, even a supposedly clever pun/play on words that has nothing to do with, you know, graphic sexual positions. I mean, it could be an adult scholarship, but still... it kind of gives me the creeps...


Oh well, at least most of their teas are gluten free... wait, what? (Thank god I'm really not very fond of flavored teas, so I won't be too sad to miss "Thanksgiving Stuffing Spice" limited edition tea.)



Item the Second:
Dungeons and Dragons Jones Soda

And I continue to be a bad mean not-cool-enough geek, because all I think when I see the D&D Jones Soda is "Hmph, we're COOL OLD-SCHOOL geeks, not like those MTN DEW drinking WoW-tie-in losers. We have handmade artisan sodas that taste like pretension and social isolation. We drink them while playing ON A TABLE-TOP."


Amusing Aside:
Does... anyone know which "side" of Mountain Dew won? (I doubt they'll actually announce anything, like all promotional "competitions" that ultimately end in stalemate.) Not that I'm biased or anything -- FOR THE HORDE -- but quite frankly, that red-orange Horde stuff was delicious and wonderful, while the nasty blue Alliance stuff...

Well..

Let's just say that if you have to throw up after drinking Blue Mountain Dew, it's a rather inhuman experience.


EDIT:

V:TM SODA TASTES LIKE ABSINTHE, CLOVE, AND TEARS

If I still have the bottle, it's at my Dad's house two states away, but I found this: http://www.goantiques.com/scripts/images,id,1867062.html#image2

Um... guys... what did you think "Mountain Dew" uh, WAS? Traditionally. There's a reason there's a hillbilly on it...

Phft, though, I don't generally have respect for sodas -- the nineties and EXTREMENESS would be more destructive than hillbillies, for me, and MTN is NOT THE ABBREVIATION FOR MOUNTAIN ANYWAY -- but I thought the WoW thing was kind of cute. "Okay, we admit it: Radical sports kids don't actually drink this. People who sit on their computers do. FOR THE HORDE!"
