Everything about this is pretty much right.

And just for comparison (though there is still some question as to the veracity of this claim):

Alternate ends of the popular “cool” spectrum.  It just goes right around, comes together and it’s all wonderful.

This is AMAZING. The new Xtreme Flavor Blasted Cheddar Goldfish (sort of) speak Latin. And I quote, “way to carpe some diem!”

P.S. The first ingredient listed is “smiles.”

Just in case there is anyone out there who hasnt seen this, it is fucking priceless. Fucking priceless.

The wine is probably the most stereotypically “French” drink. What is a caricature of a Frenchman without a glass or bottle of wine to go with the striped shirt, beret, cigarette, baguette, and obnoxiously elite attitude?  Many of the most famous cultivars of wine grapes are from France, and real Champagne can only be produced in the eponymous region of France. While there are plenty of other nations and locales (personally I have a soft spot in my boozy heart for wines from the Napa and Willamette Valleys) I think it is safe to say that whatever its origins, since the first Gaul got himself properly Dionysian-smashed at a Roman tavern in Narbo Martius, the French have taken to the drink like no other.

      But now, through the miracles of archeology and modern science, we find out that before they were drinking wine and looking down their noses, the French (really, Celts) were probably soaking their long blonde beard-braids with foamy beer just like their Germanic and British neighbours to the North ( see: Caesar’s De Bello Gallico, and  Tacitus’ Germania). It wasn’t until Julius Caesar (among others) kicked the living crap out of the Gauls (starting another French tradition) that they got conciliatory prize of wine from the Romans. So, given their pre-Caesar drink preferences, we can conclude that if it wasn’t for Roman imperialism the true “Champagne of beers” might actually still be brewed in Champagne by beret-wearing, cigarette-smoking, stripey-shirted, Frenchmen and would be served with baguette, snails and frogs legs — much to the Miller Brewing Company’s chagrin.  Drink and ancient history; a perfect match.
