This was less than blog worthy at this point, but then I heard the name, the slogan and the review.
The name is Drank. I'm imagining someone saying "I need a Drank" with a back-woods southern twang. The slogan - "Slow your Roll". This made me a laugh outloud. Partly because it sounds like something Joe Jefferson would say (now that I think about it, I'm positive that he has said that to me at least once).
The review: from the LA times : Still, Drank is gaining traction in an otherwise super-caffeinated market, with Time magazine running a story about it earlier this year (taking note of the fact that the name Drank has its roots in Houston's hip-hop scene) and Fox news writing that some who use it are comparing it to "weed in a can."
Now that's funny.
Now that's funny.

When I saw this, it sounded really familiar, and then I remembered:

Ya gotta love Lil' Wayne:
It’s a sedative, and therefore well suited to the slow, vaguely psychedelic Southern rap favored by artists like Lil Wayne, whose song “Me and My Drank” includes the lyrics “I’m a sip until I lean hard / Drink got me moving slower than a retard. . . . One more ounce will make me feel so great / Wait, now I can’t feel my face.”

Scott, I'm super impressed that you pulled that out - (thats what she said? Sorry, juvenile but funny)- I'd have never remembered something that obscure !
Lance, always a man of many "word"s.
