I've actually developed a sort of disdain for soft drinks in general, so I just drink simple bottled water when I feel thirsty.
I have developed a disdain for paying $1.25 a bottle for water I could get from the nearest sink.
I get that way too, which is why Perrier is so awesome: it's all the benefits of water, all the fizz of a soda, none of the drawbacks of either (being overpriced tap crap/made of cancer) Other sparkling waters are maybe OK, but, the cheap ones just tasted like someone took tap water and added bubbles and usually crappy flavoring. Perrier is a very good analogue for the mouthfeel of soda in my mind, and the minerals or whatever in that water gives it a flavor that can rival a sugar drink.
I think the appropriate verb here is 'quaff'. You quaff things that clearly have Eye of Newt and Raw Bald Eagle Egg on their list of ingredients in the posted nutritional information.

In the South we just call everything Coke.
You want a Pepsi? Better see if you can get a Coke.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
While I was visiting israel, in a falafel shop I indicated I would like a bottle of sugary fizziness and said "coke" , the salesperson laughed and looked askance at a policeperson that was waiting for his order - his english wasn't great and my hebrew is worse, but by miming brushing his top lip and translation by my girlfriend, I finally got the message that the coca-cola company's brandname isn't universally better known than bolivian marching-powder....
This comic is what I love about PA. They have a preexisting relationship with Bungie that goes back several years, and they are not afraid to skewer them over bull shit like this Red Bull promo. Now, if only they would do a joke about that terribad interview that Luke Smith gave.
To be fair to energy drinks, if they actually tasted good then they'd probably end up killing a bunch of people.
Speaking of, whatever happened with Four Loko? I thought they had like banned it or something after you were getting stories for a few months several years ago where kids were dying and shit, but then every now and then I still hear a reference to it like you can still buy it.

This is "skewering" Bungie? The only negativity in this comment is directed toward Red Bull and Pepsi.
@gaslight They changed the formula to be less lethal and rereleased it. With the same branding. And people love it?
I was a resident assistant at the university where a lot of the hubub started. Despite the fact that nine of our classmates were hospitalized, many people went out and bought pallets of the stuff to make sure they wouldn't run out of their supply of liquid upper-downer-alcohol-poisoning.

Bungie itself probably didn't have a goddamn thing to do with this. It's all from some marketing department in Activision.

We don't all do it. It bothers me when I hear people do that. But I am willing to bet I am an exception to the rule.

If anything I'm sure Bungie got a kick out of it.
You might say it...
gave them wings???
Only a mere 136 pins to go!
Or you might not.
Just make sure to put a disclaimer on it. In case someone sues when it doesn't give you wings.
Except nobody would do that
