Pabst Green Ribbon
Pabst Blue Ribbon is getting into the ever-growing seltzer game, but they're doing things a little bit differently. Instead of being spiked with alcohol, PBR will be packing 5mg of THC in each can along with purified water, lemon concentrate, sugar, and 'other flavors.' The cannabis-infused seltzer is now available in California with a price tag of $125 for a 24-pack. We're just wondering how anyone at Pabst Labs actually gets any work done...
Heinek-an we come up with a different seltzer flavor?
Here's more hard seltzer news: Heineken is teaming up with AriZona Iced Tea to put more hard seltzer on the liquor shelves. AriZona SunRise Hard Seltzer will be launching in 2021 with four flavors, Mucho Mango, Cherry Punch, Lemon, and Grapefruit. We just hope it tastes better than their beer that comes in a skunked bottle. And speaking of Heineken... listen to my new podcast 4 Beers, No Fears with my co-hosts Tommy Zoerner and Jordan Coshun, where we will be drinking four Heinekens on our next episode.
Pop(corn) Culture
The Real Housewives of Wine Country
Bravo is releasing wine inspired by The Real Housewives franchise, and it looks like I'm getting naked wasted. The Real Housewives of Wine Collection will feature three different blends, including; The Real HouseRed, with notes of dark fruits like plum and huckleberry and is infused with cacao chocolate; The Real HouseWhite, a dry Sauvignon Blanc with crisp and mineral-heavy notes of oyster shell and passionfruit; and The Real HouseRosé, which is described as tasting like "summer in a glass." This is obviously a perfect collab since Housewives are always either drinking wine or throwing it in someone's face. Which is why it seems like an appropriate time to say I am team Monique.
Kim K's got cake
Kim Kardashian-West celebrated her 40th birthday this week by posing in front of a fake cake and we hope we look this good when we're 40, but we probably won't because we would have actually eaten the cake. The U.S.'s royal family celebrated by recreating Kim's most iconic birthdays, like when she got gifted a BMW for her Sweet 16th. My most iconic birthday was when I turned 9, ate too much of my Barbie-themed cake, and threw it up in my rented princess castle bounce house.
When pizza in Paris is just a baguette with a slice of cheese
Netflix's newest hit show, Emily in Paris, features a girl who moved from Chicago to Paris for a social media job and of course the show had to mention deep dish pizza. In one of the episodes, Emily's colleague refers to Chicago-style deep dish as "a quiche made of cement," and Emily snarked back, "you must have gone to Lou Malnati's." But this JOKE didn't sit well with the restaurant, just like their pizza doesn't sit well with my bowels. In a statement, the owner said, "We've been serving Chicago's favorite deep dish since 1971. When Netflix's 'Emily in Paris' writers chose to take a shot at Chicagoans and our pizza to try to get a laugh, it felt heartless and not humorous in the midst of Covid-19." And not only is Lou Malnati's pizza shitty, but so is their sense of humor.
Fast Food Frenzy
Have a slice day!
Vinnie's Pizzeria, a pizza shop in Brooklyn, NY is offering 'comfort words' via Postmates for their customers. For $1 extra, the delivery driver will look you straight in the eyes and yell, "EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OK AND YOU'RE DOING THE BEST YOU CAN." And for that kind of kindness in NYC, I would pay a lot more than $1. Normally all I get for $3.25 to take the subway is a man screaming at the top of his lungs that he's going to stab someone.
Let's taco bout...
...how to get free Taco Bell! Coronavirus may have canceled a lot of our favorite things, but Taco Bell has not let us down yet. The fast-food chain teamed up with the MLB for a ninth year in a row for its "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" promotion, and thanks to Mookie Betts of the Dodgers, Americans will be eating free Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos on Wednesday, October 28th. In Game 1 of the World Series last week, the right fielder stole two bases in the bottom of the fifth against the Tampa Bay Rays and I'm just confused why I'm only getting one free taco and not two?! The Dodgers are leading the series 3-2 with Game 6 tomorrow night and, if needed, Game 7 on Wednesday if anyone cares about the game instead of the tacos.
