truth bombs

kept catching glimmers of underground attachment to the Pabst brand.

so, uh, no.

What are you objecting to, Sarah?

Christine's impression = wrong

Oh, right.

the pbr thing seems pretty clearly to be a combination of the factors that call all destroyer lined out upthread plus a really canny marketing dept? which can probably be said about anything that can be called "hipster" at this point

If you don't think PBR poured gasoline on top of whatever glimmering embers of interest it saw from the hipster underground at the turn of the century, you're crazy.

fortunately, ilx has plenty of threads about hipsters and hipster signifiers so Christine can educate herself on the subject.

Thank you for educating us about that.

PBR phenomenon is totally different from the OK Soda thing. PBR marketing was definitely savvy, as max pointed out, but it drew on an existing trend, as opposed to OK and Fruitopia which were totally prefab.

I am a hipster

I've been drinking a ton of north coast brewery beers lately

i like red cap

i will drink anything that is cheap tho

except rice wine

I guess I was wrong, then.

feeding the embers versus using a flamethrower, imo

i have to admit hendrick's had me fooled

We believe in the importance of making things. We believe that a free market both requires and deserves products that display an authentic point of view. As manufacturing processes have become commoditized, the mantle of inventor has been passed from mechanical geniuses like Edison to integrative artists like ourselves. As experts in the interactions between self-image, social worth, individuality, and brand identity — we create products from the ground up. We offer all phases of development, from ideation to manufacture to full marketization, including package design, multimedia campaigns, social networking, buzz programs, and viral campaigns. We identify manufacturing facilities, source materials, design packaging and produce the full array of intellectual content required to launch and sustain brands.

this is how people will speak to you from the burning lake of hell fyi

the real burning lake of hell

where everyone washes up w doctor bronners

man idk if getting fooled means i get to drink hendricks well go ahead and fool the shit out of me whenever yall want

hey buddy i wash up with dr bronners, fuiud

i will stan for dr bronners
and i wash my dog in it too
that shit works
DILUTE DILUTE ALL ONE DILUTE DILUTE OK!

that would be more suited to an ablute bombs thread of which there isn't one probably because individual posters' soap choices are not incendiary discussion material.

sorry i ruined the truth bombs thread by opening a pandora's box of boring beer talk

thread was going so well; those 30 posts about fucking bagels last week were a can't-miss.

Take it to tmi, cowboy.

if that's what they were about that would qualify as a "must miss"

i think goole's comment about burning hell talk is a truth bomb
esp this part: the mantle of inventor has been passed from mechanical geniuses like Edison to integrative artists like ourselves.
i can hardly fathom how much coke you'd have to do to committee-write something like this

Enough to think that "marketization" is a word, apparently.

haha that word is so made up out of thin air i almost didn't see it

lolll

hell is other beardos

im imagining an alt version of the inferno where each circle is like a different authenticity claim

xp ^^ truth bomb

and the coke is on fire

when i lived in philly in the 90's gyro worldwide was all badass bikini girls and fake punk atty-tude and all that. like a simpsons sketch of grunge marketing. they they grew up and stuff i guess. they created Kamel Red in the 90's i think? which was so totally 90's.

omg kamel red!

bikini bandits! that was their fake, um, something. i forget. they even have a book:

we've moved on but the president of Dr Bronner's was in my undergrad college class and was a good acquaintance of mine

gr80's quote made me google OK Soda... look at this fuckin thing!!

Clowes, ______?, Burns

How on earth could you mishandle a cheese grater? You'd have to be a real doofus to do that.
