Get your Drank on

A colleague found out about Drank Beverage, which bills itself as the first "extreme relaxation" drink to hit the market, via Twitter.

Presumably, Drank seeks to simulate the experience of "Purple Drank," which is codeine and promethazine mixed with Sprite. Instead of prescription drugs, Drank contains melatonin.

Drank's slogan is "Slow Your Roll."

We decided to put it to the test. (Click here for HD.)

So you basically don't do any actual work when you're at the office, just put on skits and do taste tests. Does that come out of billable hours?

If you can think of a better lunch break activity, we're open to new ideas.

Dear Sir or Madam:

My roll is not slow enough. What do you recommend?

(PS -- What happens if you combine Red Bull with Drank? Do they cancel each other out? "Slow Your Wings.")

Good question. I had to drink two Mountain Dews just to stay awake for the rest of the work day.

Isn't the whole idea of "flavor" sort of antithetical to the notion of "relaxation"? Wouldn't a really boring beverage, like water or caffeine-free diet coke, be more likely to put you to sleep?

The relaxation comes from the fact that it's an unregulated drug, marketed to children, hiding as a grape drink.

That's where you're confused, Jason.

So... all this and I still haven't heard a straight answer on the effects you feel.

Incumbents didn't stand a chance

Kamala Harris had an advantage in fundraising and campaign mobilization. Yet she got trounced. The lesson is that advertising and organizing doesn't matter in politics, right? Wrong. In the battleground states where she leveraged those resource advantages, Harris underperformed Joe Biden's 2020 results by 1.6 points . In the non-battleground states where she did not meaningfully compete, she underperformed 2020 by 3.9 points . This means that i n the places where the Harris campaign spent money and organized and knocked on doors, she did better.* Duh, it wasn't enough. Yet consider the political environment in 2024 for incumbent parties: across the world this year, each governing party facing election has lost vote share. Every single one. (This is the first time that had ever happened.) No one would suggest that Democrats pat themselves on the back when the result of their efforts is a Donald Trump victory. But look at this chart:**  The red dot is the 2024 Democrats, the ...

USC goes commando

Image
I've always thought USC cheerleaders were pretty classy (to the extent that such a classification is possible in the cheerleading world). They wear long-sleeved white turtlenecks, rather than the skimpy tops donned by most cheerleading teams. But yesterday I discovered that a USC Song Girl named Megan Ramer doesn't wear underwear. Britney Spears, are you responsible for this?

Paperweights have become paperweights

Image
When something goes unused or becomes obsolete, it's said to become a paperweight. Is your cellphone slow and out of date? It's become a paperweight. Is your laptop too slow to use? It's become a paperweight. Do you never use your Apple Vision Pro? It's become a paperweight. Weirdly, paper itself has become a paperweight. People do their work on laptops, tablets, and phones. Most homes don't have printers. Not only do we not need paperweights, we barely need paper!
