Men are from Mars, Buzzfeed is from Venus and will hopefully return there someday

Friends, the latest Buzzfeed video #content is definitely #LOL and #WIN, not #TRASHY and #FAIL, because it explores the manner in which women consume a man beverage that they have never tasted before. I am not sure it rises to the artistic heights of an #OMG, but it is certainly on the right track.

The thing is, I know plenty of women, including my wife, who drink as much whiskey as I do, if not more (I tend to stick to beer unless a good cigar is also involved). And I’m certain that plenty of men, me included, made all of these faces and more the first time we got a taste of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee What The Hell Is This Go Get Me a Maker’s Mark. So while I get that the point of this and literally everything else that goes on at Buzzfeed is CLICKS, MAN, CLICKS, couldn’t we get clicks without playing to dumb sexist tropes?

“I’m #WIN! Not like everybody says… like #FAIL… I’m #WIN and I want respect!”

  1. Maker’s Mark.

    I approve.

    Jack Daniel’s Tennessee What The Hell Is This also works nicely, slotting into the same category as my beloved Daarlig Mav Dschungelsaft Aalborg Snapps of the student days in Scandinavia.

    1. I remember the first time I really drank Jack, out of a paper bag while walking around campus with a buddy of mine, and that first swig just about made me want to sand the taste buds off of my tongue. I think I went looking for some gum to chew while I was drinking the stuff.
