This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I’d try some Gay Water out of curiosity (if it’s zero sugar), but last weekend when I had a Truly, I had an imploding headache five hours later that was so bad I wanted to die. I think I’ll pass on this and all hard seltzers, because I’m a super lightweight. Heh.

Probably it's just bottom shelf booze using the Bud Light controversy for sales

I read through the article to see if any money was going to gay/trans right activism. If it is the article doesn't mention it, and it isn't on their (admittedly not yet filled out) website. Recognition is good in that "acceptance" in capitalism means you think you'll make more money than non-recognition. But that's the symptom of things going the right direction, not the cause. If it's the best seltzer in your opinion go for it, but unless they're giving back to the community they're not actually doing anything.
