Alright, What the hell is up with everything? Everytime I go to the grocery store, I can’t buy just _plain_ stuff anymore. It’s all **BOLD** and **APRIL FRESH** or **EXTRA STRENGTH** or something. Like, what happened to just plain regular “Tide”. I just want some freakin’ laundry detergent. I ran out of socks. I just want some clean socks. None of this **MOUNTAIN FRESH** crap. It’s not like the chicks are bending down in the bar to smell my feet or anything. . . Tripler And yes, I am Zesty thank you . . . ---

Tastes better if you cut back on the sugar (I always use less than 1/4 of a teaspoon), substitute Bourbon for the blended whiskey, use Peychaud bitters rather than Angostura, and limit the fruit intake to just the lemon peel. Hmph…I seem to be following **UncleBeer** around and saying things to needle him. Could it be the weather? The pollen count? Is Jupiter aligned with Mars? ---

mmmmmmm - I always wanted me a zesty young thing… or is it that I always wanted to BE a zesty young thing?? Be that as it may, **Tripler** , how can you possibly improve upon the perfection that is you??? No, I am not drinking. Well, water, but that’s all… ---

Eventually, people will tire of the BOLD NEW ZESTY Tripler and begin to clamor for Classic Tripler. ---

I was once told that I was fruity. Now, if I were a man, I’d assume this meant that I was effeminate. But I’m a chick. So I didn’t know how to respond. New Fruity Swiddles! ---

Perfection? Moi?!? Methinks not. . . Ladies and Gentlemen, fear not. There will _ **always** _ be **Original Tripler**. And after the initial success with **Bold Zesty Tripler** and a handful of Guinesses at the local pub last night I am proud to announce . . . **Bold Rasperry Tripler** So now on the market is **New Fruity Swiddles, Magically Delicious Hamadryad, Original, Zesty, and Raspberry Tripler**. Should we look at a “Sampler Pack”? Tripler See what drinking in Minot does? It makes you weird. . . ---

I’m pretty sure that I’d have to say that I now have 33% more **FREE**! I’ve changed my packaging, too, but the market survey hasn’t revealed any change in consumer’s buying habits. For a limited time, like when Lucretia won’t find out, you can get a free sample by just sending in a coupon with your name, phone number, full-length nude picture and a round-trip airline ticket from Baltimore to your city. Some restrictions apply.\* Limited time offer (like, until she gets suspicious). TRY SOME ORIGINAL BLUESMAN **TODAY**! \*You gotta be a female, and a hottie. ---

Mmmm… **Bold Raspberry Tripler.** Gonna have to try that. I wonder if they’re gonna make a **Tripler Light**. You know, “All the **Tripler** , half the fat.”? 😉 ---
