  • “I know I gave Israel all these weapons, plotted with Netanyahu to commit genocide and start a massive war in the middle east, dropped bombs on Iran, and threatened Khamenei’s life, but this was about getting attention away from all the shit I’M doing in the US! I didn’t want to get caught up in a war, I just wanted people to stop being mad at me and redirect then away from all the constitutional violations I’m committing, the people I’m deporting illegally, all the rights I’m stripping away from everyone, and all the government institutions in sabotaging. Oh, and I was supposed to get a nobel prize and a resort in Israel when Bibi agreed to stop his war, so now he’s screwing that up too!”







  • Intellivision did actually have a Kool-Aid game, but you didn’t play as Kool-Aid Man. You played as a couple kids trying to find the ingredients to make some Kool-Aid. It still had the Thirsties in it, but the gameplay was very different.

    Also, I’m pretty sure that, aside from the games, the Thirsties were exclusive to the official Marvel Kool-Aid comics. I remember them in commercials, but I’m pretty sure I’m Mandela-ing myself and what I’m actually remembering is Pilsbury’s Goofy Grape and the rest of the Funny Face characters.

    The funny coincidence is that almost all of the Funny Face characters are depicted drinking from straws on their packages. Which kind of makes me wonder if the 2600 game wasn’t a subtle dig at them.
