If you’ve got hundreds of empty beer bottles lying around and you’re not sure what to do with them, then take a cue from these guys and build an awesome beer bottle dominoes chain that ends in the drinking of another… you guessed it; beer!

Ever go to a bar and wonder what the words “neat”, “straight up”, “on the rocks” or “with a twist” mean?
If you have, then you’re in luck, because Jeffrey Morgenthaler is here to help you sort them out. (And apparently they’re confusing for both sides of the bar, so don’t feel bad.)
The short version is as follows:
But for the long version with a full explanation, you’ll just have to visit the site.

Note: In no way is the post meant to offend, it’s just something that I noticed today at breakfast.
This morning, I was pouring Aunt Jemima syrup on my breakfast pancakes, when I thought about how Aunt Jemima syrup no longer comes in Aunt Jemima shaped bottles. I wondered if this was due to the link between Aunt Jemima and the idea of “a black woman who is perceived as obsequiously servile or acting in, or protective of, the interests of whites”, so I flipped the bottle over to see what image conscious company produces Aunt Jemima. What did I find? Quaker Oatmeal makes Aunt Jemima. Quaker Oatmeal, a company with a white Quaker for a logo, owns Aunt Jemima, a product with a black Aunt Jemima for a logo. It’s funny how the world works sometimes.

Though normally I’d scoff at anyone willing to pay $20 for a bottle of water, I think anyone willing to buy a bottle of Charity: Water deserves praise instead. For each bottle of Charity: Water sold, 100% of the funds go toward freshwater well projects in Africa. For just $4,000, a new well can be dug in Ethiopia that will provide hundreds if not thousands of people with fresh, clean drinking water. Flavorpill has already pledged to donate $2,000 towards the building of the first well, so they only need to sell 100 bottles to start the process. Give a little back the next time you hydrate, and it could save a life.
