    Friends was in a supermarket the other day. He bought an item labelled “Liquid Death”.

    What the product actually was is something he never buys because he never needs it, but because of the fantastically insane name of the product he said he just had to buy it!

    That product? The one named Liquid Death?

    Do you want to know what it was?

    It was a 12 pack of 500ml cans of water

    This kind of marketing works, kids. Something so unexpected you just have to buy it!









  • Oh god yeah you’re bringing back some memories there 😂

    So I already knew they were a thing, but annoyingly on some of the vans there was only a single 12v socket, and we had to use that socket to plug in the navigation system/manifest.

    So CDs were the easier choice until I got hold of one of those 12v splitters.

    The one I had was far bulkier than the one shown.

    A lot of the time it didn’t matter anyway because people don’t take care of the vans so a lot of the guys played their shit in the loading bays at full volume and would regularly blow the speakers out.

    Sometimes I was going out with a Bluetooth speaker jammed between the dash and windscreen.

    I had 100 solutions, it seems. The CDs were just one of them 😂

    I taught one of my friends to drive. She now has her first car - a 15 year old Mini - so now she has my old FM transmitter 🥰


  • Amusingly, I think I remember some of my last ones, though maybe not my absolute final one.

    For the most part, I’d already moved away from CDs, but I got a job driving vans which didn’t have Bluetooth or an aux port. I ended up burning a few mp3 CDs für that job some time in late 2014.

    Fun fact: one of those CDs contained brony music which I accidentally left in my van one night. I came into work the next day to hear it blaring on the warehouse speakers until I heard someone saying “what is this?” before changing the CD.

    The drivers were all talking about it during lunch and I sat there quietly, amused by them trying to figure it out 😂
