Leninade by Real Soda

tcr! · Aug 24, 2020 at 9:17 pm

Maggie and I trial the Leninade soda 🍻 with astonishing results.

Leninade by Real Soda - MP4

Leninade Simple Soviet Style Soda

IF IT’S IN THE TOMB, YOU MUST EXHUME! For Russians in the former Soviet Union a trip to the Movieland Wax Museum wasn’t in the stars; not even in the Red Stars! In fact, that was just another one of those things ‘beyond the wall’ so a trip to the Lenin Mausoleum was about as good as it got. And what a trip that was; soldiers goose-stepping around the glass box and a wrinkled old lady with legs like tree trunks at the front of the line taking off peoples’ hats and putting them in their hands… ahh yes this was the grand tour! We all think the Lenin in the tomb was wax because even though they say the glass is “filled with special gases” (CO2 in the case of Leninade) let’s face it… Lenin never planned anything beyond five years. Clearly someone got ahold of some lacquer thinner and rubbed off the Best Before Date from that glass. And now this poor little man has lost his followers and even lies just down the street from a Baskin Robbins which doesn’t even have a line outside; and here is where the Marx Brothers came to the rescue by creating a Real Soda that was red and worth standing in line for… LENINADE! Many people who once escaped from the Soviet Union, upon tasting Leninade, have overwhelmingly remarked that it is “BETTER THAN EXPECTED”; and those who prefer vodka in their potables have been known mix it with Leninade and ice to make a COMMIE KAZE. But even if you’re a teetotaler you can get tired of Russky Chai and Drink As Lenin Drank!

I’m not saying it’s my thing. Or that it’ll be your thing. Proceed with caution. And don’t use a glass. The foam overwhelmed me.

Withholding the Cheese Puffs

tcr! · Sep 21, 2018 at 5:06 pm

Audio (MP3): 20180921 - Withholding the Cheese Puffs

Guys, I just witnessed a heated couples exchange inside one of our local Walgreens.

A man was outright denying his wife of her Friday snacks because apparently she “already had her daily allotment of cheese puffs.”

She then retorted or snorted, “Oh no, I’m a get my cheese puffs” with the bitterness you’d expect of dreams shattered in full view of the other drugstore patrons.

What’s up with the branch with leaves on it in your car? πŸ˜‰

tcr! tcr! · Sep 21, 2018 at 6:12 pm

I got it at the second Nightmare on Chicago Street I ever went to up in Elgin. It was laying on the ground in its own crumpled heap of plastic greenery as I was making yet another of my least hasty exits. When I got back to my truck I stuck it into my cigarette lighter outlet thing and it’s lived there ever since… 🌿

tcr! tcr! · Sep 21, 2018 at 6:41 pm

WAIT. That’s a lie. It’s not in the cigarette lighter outlet. It’s in the keyhole next to it that controls the airbags!

I didn’t want to run the risk that this garden-variety plastic ivy one would find at your neighborhood Joann’s art and craft store would catch fire.

In related news… One time I put my truck key in the keyhole, hoping it would open the door way to Narnia. But alas there was no such transportation reward. Only shed tears in the salty realization that I would indeed have to go to work. 😒

ahrens · Sep 21, 2018 at 7:14 pm

Thank you for your honesty. My first thought was maybe it was eucalyptus and you had a koala bear. That would be pretty rad. Please know, I do not judge a man’s greenery he keeps in his car.

McIntyre 13 · Sep 21, 2018 at 10:37 pm

This thread makes me smile. 😁 Or maybe it’s just my muscle relaxant kicking in. Either way thanks for the laugh guys

Walgreens is always located at the corner of HAPPY and HEALTHY, not State and “whatever”

tcr! tcr! · Sep 22, 2018 at 8:27 am

I don’t know. I go into the St. Charles’ Walgreens on the corner of Main Street and Sweet Tomatoes a couple times a week and there’s one cashier that’s borderline anti-happy.

Seriously, she asks for my Walgreens Rewards card each and every visit regardless of how many times I’ve said, “Listen shopping gestapo, you’re not tracking how many sodas I buy in the name of steep discounts and customer perks!”

Well, my wit’s not that quick in public or under Freddie’s pressure so that’s what I like to think I’ll say the next time I’m standing in her aisle as she’s questioning the cards in my wallet and reviewing a 3” ecig box with a scrupulous monocle, flipping the box over and over again looking for the 2” barcode.

It’s on the fracking back where 90% of the barcodes in the world are!!!

ahrens · Sep 22, 2018 at 8:14 am

Ok. First, Henry is my homie. He is so nice.
Next, ecigs are bad news. When you know better, you do better. You have one set of lungs, take care of them.
Finally, I use my bucks on Cheetos πŸ˜‚

Mustari Jones · Sep 22, 2018 at 8:27 am

This is LITERALLY the best thing on the internet this weekend.

ahrens · Sep 22, 2018 at 8:34 am

This is such a deep conversation, right? Love it.

ahrens · Sep 22, 2018 at 8:44 am

Perhaps Walgreens is not your scene. For all of the times I have entered my rewards number, I have yet to be rewarded. CVS is where it’s at. Once you get over the fact that your receipt is as long as 3 football fields, you realize you win the lotto during every shopping experience. I earn all of these bucks for whatever reason and I just roll with it. Some people are addicted to crack and/or bath salts but CVS is my weakness.

tcr! tcr! · Sep 22, 2018 at 3:38 pm

There’s this dude named Henry that works at the CVS close to my house. He’s worked there ever since I moved to my neighborhood back in the 00s. He, too, asks for my CVS card every time I see him. Even if we’re not in CVS. One time I was out feeding homeless children on the upper west side on a sunny Saturday, not unlike today. Henry pulled up, in what I assume to be his blue BMW and Keanu shades, and said, “CVS card…” in his oh so cool Nigerian accent.

I might spring for a CVS card if they sold ecig paraphernalia by the pound but they seem to be anti-nicotine these days. And then they got those midget shopping carts that people still insist on filling up like their at Costco on Randall.

Regardless, the real question is what do you do with all your earned bucks? Do they automagically discount your next receipt when you go in?

You could probably buy one at Walgreens. If not, Riley Drug (also on State Street and whatever) carries them. I’ve tried their canes out. Clean finish, solid construction, helpful staff.
