I went to some kind of all inclusive hotel when I was 8 and was left to run free with some other boys, the rowdy sort who would knock sand castles over. I can't remember if they were British or Australian but they sunburned easily and they would kick me really hard in the stomach when we were in the pool. They taught me what "all inclusive meant" which was that you could walk up to any bar and say "LLB please" and be handed one of these.

It was the first soda I ever had where sugar was not the predominant flavour profile. It is a product made by angostura bitters thus the dominant notes are citrus and, of course, bitters. It changed the way I thought about drinks forever. To this day I can still taste what it felt like, dripping down my throat, mingling with the acrid taste of sunblock and the salt of the sea.

Rank: S+ (exalted)

The best compliment I can give The Super Mario Bros. movie is that it felt like a great Disney movie.

The world was immersive, the music was beautiful, the characters weren't obnoxious, and the comedy was judicious and not horribly dated.

They strove for epic and delivered.

People who try to copy historical writing styles don't say enough weird stuff in them. I'm listening to a 1909 story about a ghost car right now, and the narrator just said he honked the car horn a bunch of times, but the way he phrased it was "I wrought a wild concerto on the hooter".

This is a curiosity. They started showing up at charity events in Montreal when I was a teenager. I remember getting handed one by an important executive at a bike ride my dad was participating in to support the hospital. He said it was free and that his company made them.

Later they began to show up at various bougie grocery stores around the city but very sporadically. I also kept seeing them at various free corporate events. I've probably paid for only half of the number of these that I drank, which is good because they like to charge you 6$ for a very small can.

I am fairly certain the company that makes these is part of the Italian mafia who used to shake down restaurants in my neighborhood but nobody really cares that they're doing that so I guess I don't either.

The drink itself has a very light carbonation and sweetness level, akin to a true Italian soda but perhaps a little bit sweeter attributed to the coconut cream. And it is indeed actual coconut cream, it forms chunks of seperate coconut lipids throughout the drink that coat your tongue as you sip. It would be greasy but the carbonation and the lemon cut through that satisfactorily. Interestingly the can instructs you to "shake well" but since it is carbonated that will make it explode so I don't and the chunks remain.

Many ppl have told me they dislike it due to the chunks. I disagree. I'm very partial to coconut fat and used to eat coconut oil out of a jar on my desk for a while back when I was addicted to weed vapes and chronically munchy until I discovered that it has a worse cholesterol profile than lard.

I would rank this among the top sodas in existence were it not for the bitter resentment I felt towards the corporate goon who first handed me the drink and were it not for the fact that they're location bound to Quebec.

If you want a good object lesson about what we can and can't know about the past, we don't know Ea-Nasir was a dishonest merchant selling shoddy goods.

What we know is we have found a cache of complaint tablets about him selling low quality copper as high quality, in a site that was probably his own residence. We know multiple people complained he was a cheat. It's entirely possible they were right. It's also entirely possible that he kept these complaint letters as records of people he would no longer do business with, because they had made accusations and threats in order to bully him into giving them free copper. That is an equally valid interpretation of the evidence.

My point is not that we have maligned Ea-Nasir, my point is that thousands of years later, we do not and cannot know.
