I never thought I would revisit this sphere of my life until I walked into a farmer's market last week and found a stand selling locally made, ethically sourced, and naturally formulated Artisinal Gak, with a gooey consistency and light green color completely true to the original. It brought me back. When I was a kid I would watch Wh-wh-what-what-what would you do? and yip with glee when the Gak poured down like tar over the kids faces, but now, I, as an adult with a sense of restraint, only need to pour a small bouquet glass of Portland's best artisanal Gak over a young child while I watch the Netflix spiritual successor to Double Dare/documentary, "Triple Dare???: The Mark Summers Story" to relive that childhood magic. The future is amazing. |

Yes, I am currently squeezing my organic, CFC-free Floam from a company that personally knows and inspects the styrofoam pellet farms from which they source their materials to make sure the workers are fairly compensated and operate in safe, hygienic conditions. Do-do-do-do they have it? (Guts?) Yes, they do. |

I had a stretch Armstrong, 2 Ninja Turtles, and my favorite Animorphs story (the one where Tobias changes into a bird forever) but nobody showed up and I got drunk on weak rear end whisky sodas.

well whiskey is not tasty. also, "I'll have a whiskey soda" sounds cool, simultaneously distinguished and edgy.

cheap whiskey does not taste very good but I also see your point and agree. am I wrong in thinking that the cheap stuff is often referred to as "well"? have I been ordering wrong for 13 years now? does my mother know? drat I wish I had some gak and one of those little plastic containers so I could make rad fart noises with it right now.

Yeah "well" is the cheap stuff, both by quality and price. It isn't "ordering wrong" just going for the frugal option. If a place has weak pours like you said you had, you might not notice a big difference anyhow since it is mostly going to be soda/mixer. On the other hand, getting a mixed drink with a really good and expensive alchohol seems way worse to me and a waste, because if it is that good it probably should be enjoyed on its own, or with just a little ice. Stuff in the middle, is, well, in the middle. Now, when it comes to Gak, I would only recommend the purest Artisinal Gak. You can't just pour a bunch of cola on cheap Gak to make it serviceable like you can with cheap whiskey.
