Fine Living

Have you ever wished you could brew your own hard liquor without killing yourself or ruining your bathtub? Every guy’s thought about a magical booze font that endlessly rains the water of life down on him, but since we can’t have that yet, and starting from scratch can be expensive and time consuming, we’re presenting one of the next best things: Skittle-infused Vodka. It’s fast, easy, delicious, and versatile.  I really wish I invented this idea; I imagine raunchy ads emblazoned with the perfect tag line: “get Skit-faced and puke the rainbow,” resulting in trillions of dollars, and me living out my life lounging in an orange-flavored pool surrounded by constantly tipsy models, living off a permanent buzz through osmosis. In any case, we stumbled across this brilliant idea in a number of DIY forums while mulling over affordable gifts for the holidays. Since no man wants to crochet personalized doilies, the idea of giving the gift of booze was an instant winner. We’ve documented the whole process for you so you too can get blasted in technicolor.

Ever wonder what Bug Barf, Dog Drool, Monster Mucus, or Swamp Juice tasted like? Glad I’m not the only one who was curious about such things. Avery’s Soda has been pumping out soda pop since 1904 using cane sugar, well water, and the company continues to use glass bottles to preserve the old-fashioned flavor.

The new line of soda, “Totally Gross Sodas”, is inspired by young sound makers in Avery’s ‘Make Your Own Soda’ program. The disgusting concoctions they came up with include the above mentioned as well as flavors such as Toxic Slime, Kitty Piddle, Fungal Fruit, and Zombie Brain Juice.
