^ Of course, by repeating the internet meme in the pic they manage to subversively re-emphasize it rather than distance themselves from it. But I'm sure the marketing guys didn't think of that...
Exactly. It's the old, "this isn't the way you're supposed to use our product, but if you do, we can't stop you."

I agree with all of that and I like to measure my drinks too just so I can keep track of how much I've had. If it's more than 1 standard drink per hour, I won't even consider driving. My point was that I've never understood the Solo cup "hack" because a standard shot is 1.5 ounces.

Whatever. Following this rationale one-eyed Pete would never have gotten his nickname, he'd be just two-eyed Pete. Well. Just 'Pete' I guess. Lame.

Hospital? The beauty of alcohol is that it's also a first aid kit.

Who is this fool and how can I contact him for my next camping trip with my buddies?

I'm confused too. Who is this level headed sober camper? Does he prevent my friends from getting blackout drunk and dancing on their cars casing several dents in the roof? (I wish I was smart enough to make up that scenario)

The one I can vouch for is the cupcake one. I started doing this a few years ago when the cupcake with 6" of way to sweet icing was the in thing. I put the bottom on the top and it made it bearable.
Still I usually take 5 of the 6 inches off when anyone gives me a crave cupcake.

Tell me about it! My poor old ford escort. I am glad my dad never saw those dents before I sold it he would have been pissed
Separating a yolk in an egg is really easy with just a spoon... or using the 2 egg shell halves. I can't imagine that using a bottle like that is actually easier, faster, or cleaner.
Same with cutting cherry tomatoes. Dirtying 2 tupperware lids seems like a waste of time. One cutting board and one knife... then chop or slice.

Yeah, lots of these are just shortcuts that save you time on one end and add time later. Learning basic culinary skills may take some effort and time investment initially, but will save you lots of time in the long run.
