Canned Laughter
Yet another drinks post that isn’t a cocktail. I’m sorry folks. Maybe I should just turn this blog into “what goes in my mouth but doesn’t require chewing… dotcom”… Although then I suspect people would insist I start putting up blowjob porn.
But to the point at hand. I was actually having an extraordinairly shitty day, until I went out to lunch and went to get a bottle of juice from the fridge at the local supermarket. Next to the juice? LOL.
I’m not laughing out loud here. That’s the actual brand name of this new drink. LOL.
It’s pretty obvious what this is. It’s cashing in on those young kip kids that are using their web2.0s and TheirSpaces to Komunic8 with each other using appalling grammar and emoticons… or some guy in marketing has at least convinced the guys that make this stuff that this is who their market is, and who this drink will appeal to.
There are only two astoundingly obvious flaws in their plan:
- Punctuation marks don’t display that way horizontally, so the faces aren’t actually going to make sense instantly. The double quotation marks should have been a full colon, and the two commas that are stacked should probably have been an 8 with something else on top of it for eyebrows.
- The moment that /b/ finds out they’re the purple flavour, they’re going to be fucking pissed and go “raiding”… which probably means wearing Guy Fawlkes masks in front of Golden Circle’s head office, and getting their tits out.
That said, as a drink it’s rather nice. IF you liked those “Fuze” drinks (juice with carbonated water), you’ll like these. They’re made from concentrate, which is a bit of a downer, but it’s fruit juice and soda water. Good combo I reckon.
