The ginger ale booze is like ten times sweeter then it needs to be. Like, I understand it is booze for kids, but come the gently caress on.

Still cranky that I cant buy 4 Loco but this poo poo and like candy flavored vodka is still aok.

The root beer has the same problem. It's sweeter than basically every non alcoholic root beer I've ever had.

Those are some interesting choices! I'm not gonna shopshame but I just want to say that the moral landscape is probably one of the worst books to ever be called "philosophical". Harris' entire point is more or less totally unsubstantiated by anything in the book itself!

I think his books are just his opinion. I suspect that's why he doesn't put PhD on anything he writes. The shorter books like his recent one with Maajid Nawaz are pretty much long blog posts.

I tend to do most of my reading before bed and Gravity's Rainbow took me a good while since I'd usually start feeling powerfully sleepy after a couple of pages. It's dense stuff.

They have a store locator and their distribution isn't that wide. But it's worth paying Amazon's high price for a six pack just to experience it. They have a regular and a hot and both are good, but the hot is a different experience altogether.

Dense is right, but beautiful. I'm finding I need to set aside a good chunk of time. Normally I catch my books on breaks with hard time limits, but I can't put this down mid-paragraph with how ambling his writing style is. I read Inherent Vice and The Crying of lot 49 earlier this year and heard them described as Pynchon-light, which I now understand.

The bottle advertises itself as "The Extra Spicy Ginger Soft Drink & Moscow Mule Mixer", with the last part being written below it in small, cursive lettering. If I ever decide to try it again, it wont be because I'm in the mood for a soda.

I had one of each. The ginger was a disappointment imo. The cola was good. Reminded me of RC. Not as sweet as regular Pepsi.
