Greg's Newsletter Drinks Asparagus Water [No. 037]
[No. 037] Man, Do I Love Asparagus Water
Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2015
Mmmmm… I love over-priced liquids. Next purchase, for sure. Whole Foods tried to pass off 3 asparagus stalks in a jar of water for $6. They’ve since removed them from the one store they were at, and they’ve apologized, saying it was a mistake. I think that’s B.S. I think they knew what the heck they were doing. Asparagus water is my new favorite thing in the world. Especially at $6. I vote they bring it back and mass market it.
Are you a woman? Does your office feel extra cold, forcing you to wrap yourself in a blanket while it appears the men would be just as comfortable in shorts? Welp, many offices set temperatures based on a decades-old formula that uses the metabolic rate of men. Systematic gender bias knows no bounds... or temperatures.
Kraft had to issue a cheese slice recall, after people choked on the plastic wrapping. GOOD RIDDANCE.
A pretty solid fan-made 2015 Michigan football hype video. Worth it for the last three shots, alone.
So this is awkward. A production company faked an immigrant Instagram account that depicted a journey from Senegal to Spain, and people and media bought it. Turns out, it was a director’s attempt to call out western frivolity and selfie culture.
Alright! Today’s newsletter includes a look at an upcoming feature of iOS9 (your iPhone will have apps to block ads on the web!), Uber (more pretty shady and/or misleading things from the biggest and also baddest ride company out there), Google+ is going to fail (LOL!), Jono McCleery will probably drop a great album (my childhood Anglophilia apparently stuck around), and more! Leeeeet’s go!
