The first time I heard of Liquid Death, my husband and I had taken our 15 year old niece to a concert and I could not figure out why teens and tweens were walking around with 40s. Was I so old that 21 year olds now looked like literal children? It was all extremely confusing. But then my husband went to get us water and came back with Liquid Death. Mystery solved but also, yes, so aggressive for just water. I always love your newsletter and this one especially made me giggle.

You know, I'd noticed a nice uptick in subscriptions the past few days and I couldn't figure out why...but now I know! THE GONDELMAN BUMP IS REAL.

(Thanks, btw)

Being built different than reverent Job has absolutely killed me. I don’t think it’ll be soon that I’ll stop laughing at that.

Liquid Death is just WATER? Damn, I thought it was at least seltzer or something.

I shared the video and hope it gets your algorithm up or down - whichever is better.

Such oddly aggressive water! And emotionally unsettling, to drink a flat beverage from an aluminum can. Probably my least pleasant water drinking experience to date.

yesssss New Orleans shows!! And in my actual neighborhood?! Incredible. Lot of good food and drink nearby and even an Alligator Museum if you're into that sort of thing.

I would have LOVED to see you in Batavia! But as you mentioned, it is decidedly NOT Chicago, and being a carless person and it being really cold out, as you mentioned, it wasn't in the cards this time. But NEXT TIME? Okay, we'll see, but hopefully.
