Just Grow Up
Kevin Fanning, when are you going to apologize for what you did. Just be a man for once so we can get back to writing for this site.

About
The Knowledge For Thirst is where Kevin Fanning and Joshua Allen sit around and jaw about beverages.

Asides
A good article about Cel-Ray, at Nextbook. Do all religions have their own special beverages? I wonder. Imagine what a funny list we could make, if we were so inclined. But we're not.
- #But if they're not going to deliver the random stuff that's hard to find at every single grocery and gas station in town, I'm not 100% sure what the point is. Yes this is another veiled reference to Baja Blast, so what.
- #The folks at Second Rate Snacks are doing top notch work in the field of Beverage Research, offering insightful analysis on topics such as "Mello Yello vs Mountain Dew", "Fresca vs Squirt," and "Sunkist vs Fanta vs Crush." This is exactly the kind of scientific inquiry that is going to put America back on top.
- #I had one of these the other day. I might review it, might not. The point I want to make is that the website really stresses me out for some reason. I don't know if it's the confusing flash interface or the ultra-hype techno assault, but the panic attacks that ensue definitely provide accurate synaesthesia for the effects of the beverage.
- #Some Russian variations on the new Pepsi logo.
- #Josh I know you were ready to make the new Coke designs your special girlfriend for a while back there, so I wondered if you had opinions on the new Pepsi stuff they've been talking about at Brand New. Like here and here and here.
It's interesting that Pepsi is trying to reinvent their look by pushing it in new and different directions, whereas Coke seems to be simplifying and looking backward. What does it all mean, I wonder.

for serious… I’ve been here drinking Vitamin Water with no inspiration to drink anything else…

Yeah, will you “two” please kiss and make up and get back to the business at hand! Or don’t! I’m actually quite happy to be the last comment listed in the Recent Comments of another defunct “Josh Allen and ‘friend’” website.

Can someone spill the beans on what’s going on? I miss you guys!

the beverage industry tends to lag in the winter season (diametrically opposite from the gaming industry which only releases decent games in traditionally colder months). outside of the occasional ‘nog flavor variety, the oasis of interesting drinks tends to fairly dry up, so to speak, until the spring thaw.

Without you guiding me to new beverage experiences, I’m forced to create my own by running existing beverages through the Brita filter until they create something new. Turns out orange juice pulp clogs those things pretty solid.

yeah wait, skeezix is right. You guys totally missed the boat on the whole ‘nog debacle… Personally, I wanted to hear about soy nog… so sad…

As we wait this duality conspiracy or whatever will just boil. Drama !

How exactly are we, the unsupecting readers supposed to find new drinks if you two aren’t writing about them? Surely we can’t be expected to try them ourselves. Please come back soon.

Buehler? Anyone? Anyone?

*sigh*
You really had something going here, fellas. Come on back… my roomate’s girlfriend brought home a Korean liquor with spanish olives and flecks of real gold floating in it. It tasted like death. I thought of you.

I have been sick the last few days, and catching up on your glorious drink… well, they are too good to call them merely ‘reviews.’ ‘Essays,’ maybe. They say that laughter is the best medicine, and you have most assuredly helped me to recover. Please come back, so there will be more material for the next time I fall ill. Don’t withhold your healing powers any longer.
