John: One of our producers mentioned that I was drinking the wrong stuff. He suggested I try a sparkling water called Liquid Death.
Adam: Dave Jones was drinking this for a while. All the kids are drinking it.
John: At a dinner with Brennan and Jay, I saw the Liquid Death cans and thought, “Who in their right mind would buy a product called Liquid Death? It just sounds like a bad idea.”
Brennan explained it to me, and his reasoning was so good that I had to share it as a tip of the day.
First, it comes in a large 16-ounce can, much bigger than a typical can of sparkling water. It looks like a beer. At cocktail parties, you can hold this can that says “Liquid Death,” drink it like a beer, and look cool. It’s better than just holding a regular sparkling water.
It’s a cocktail party gag, really.
Adam: From what I read in the troll room, Liquid Death is a huge sponsor on podcasts that accept advertising.
John: The producer who sent it might work for the company—I don’t know—but I suspect it’s possible. So, they’re getting free advertising from me. But to be clear, our recommendations are always sincere, not based on payment!
That said, after this, I expect the Liquid Death team to send us a few more cases!
By the way, the sparkling water is good—nice medium-sized bubbles.
Adam: Man, we got duped again, Dvorak. We keep missing the boat on this stuff. You know why? Because we’re here to provide a service—a public service.
