What's the eucalyptus joke referring to?

They did a Whiskey Media Happy Hour recently where Jeff decided to take Tested to task by building a pod racer lego during the happy hour. The end result was actually a lego giraffe he continued to insist was a pod racer.

Now you may understand why that shirt is fantastic.

Vernors so much better than Canada Dry, I think you're insane. The aromatics in it also, way better.

Battle Creek? Sounds like a halo map.

Really? Sounds like a town in Michigan that made all of my breakfast cereal growing up.

@MisterMouse said:

Is Ginger Ale the same as Ginger Beer?

Absolutely not! Ginger beer is awesome and packs a ginger punch. It's great for mixed drinks. Ginger ale, not so much.

It's probably something like the difference between a sweet expresso and a frappuchino.

Cheezies are fucking gross. You guys should have got some generic brand ones. They're better. Specifically, No-Name Cheese [thingies] from RCSS or Loblaws or Nofrills. Not the puffy ones, the smaller, more compact ones. Those are hella good.

I oughta send the guys some Newfie candy. A lot of that is really heavy; I'd bet they'd like it.

I'm glad Vernor's has some support at Giant Bomb, it's not the most accessible flavor. But it is the best, damn it.

As a Canadian, I feel comfortable saying that literally all those Canadian treats are gross, ESPECIALLY the Cheezits or whatever, fucking chemical death!
