[A text conversation between myself and Seth, the latest Forge employee, who hasn’t quite adapted to me yet.]
Seth: “Double Scorpio just sent us some new solvents for Valentine’s Day. I have a box ready for the bar store when you come in tonight.”
Me: “What’s the fragrance?”
Seth: “Love Potion.”
Me: “So… Rohypnol?
Seth: “Wanna find out?” [mic drop emoji]
Me: “I mean, it’s not a relapse if I don’t know it’s in my drink, right?”
Seth: “… Oh, dear.”
Me:
Incidentally, Double Scorpio also makes a Holiday Blend, which is scented like an Old Fashioned cocktail and has sparked the following exchange on a few different occasions:
Customer: “Holiday Blend, huh? What does that smell like?”
Me: “Did your grandpa have a drinking problem?”
Customer: “…”
Me: “Because if so, it smells like Christmas.”
Anyway, the “correct” answer, I’ve been told, is bourbon and citrus. Oh, and the Love Potion gives off a floral bouquet. And when people ask what Max Impact is for, I’m apparently not supposed to say “hostage control.”
Truth in advertising is hard, you guys.
So, does that mean your grandfather drank old fashions at Christmas?

Nah. The only one ever drinking bourbon on Christmas was me.
