Isn't Mountain Dew the stereotypical nerd drink?
I find that it's being rather quickly replaced with ironic hipster energy drinks. Now, how many of you just cringed and looked down at your ironic hipster energy drink?

MY HIPSTER DRINK IS NOT IRONIC THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I don't even know what counts as a hipster drink and what not.

And unless it happens to be tea or funny drink, chances are I haven't drunk anything of the sort in ages :V

Is Cherry Coke an ironic energy drink? If so, I have a 2 liter bottle in the fridge. It'll be drunk over a period of 3 days, though.

Kinda wish that education on it was more common, but it would also be really, really embarrassing.
We had a demonstration (then someone was invited up to have a go at it while wearing bear goggles... they managed to knock the model onto the floor.  Possibly not reassuring).  It wasn't actually hugely embarassing, although it was quite funny.

Wouldn't it only be ironic if you drank it because it was a hipster drink but didn't like it?  If you actually like it, I don't think you can drink it ironically, unless going against irony is the exact purpose of drinking something you like that some people might drink ironically.  As for what counts as hipster... idk, whatever hipsters are drinking.  I don't even know what counts as a hipster, except that it apparently involves liking stuff that you aren't supposed to like, either because you're not supposed to or because it genuinely is cool.

If 64oz is 1.9 liters, why would anybody even buy it, except to mix obscene amounts of soda.  A 2 liter bottle is almost certainly cheaper.  At least, with certain kinds of soda.  Which are probably the kinds you can't get in fountains anyway.  And there isn't the feeling that you have to drink it all in one sitting.  Which kind of makes me think that if I bought a 64 oz soda, it'd take me no more than an hour to drink it, and I can't begin to figure out how I could draw it out for 3 hours short of forgetting that I have it and leaving it somewhere.  When I buy 44 oz ones, which is much less frequent now, it's still gone within 30 minutes.  I'm amazed by the fact that I would sometimes drink two of those a day.

The bisexuality thing, for me at least, is because I think I'd probably feel more comfortable around guys if I had some sort of attraction to them.  And also because I consider sex and sexuality to be completely appropriate ways for two people to express how they feel about each other.

Responses while typing too much:
I don't think Cherry Coke is ironic, and it certainly isn't an energy drink.  I do worry that my intense love for Cream Soda may be ironic though.
Ok, I'D be embarrassed by it, but I'm kind of sensitive about that kind of thing.  I'm almost certainly just projecting my own personality on others.

Well, I'd understand finding it embarassing, but surely it's worth 10 minutes of embarassment if you get taught something important, right?

Objectively, yes.  Subjectively, for those 10 minutes... I wouldn't be so certain.
That's why I'm in favor of the idea, but would be slightly nervous if it was something I had to experience with a group of people I know.

I managed to be ill on the day we had our condom lesson (and the followup, Condom Olympics! Who can put a condom on their model the fastest?), so I'm fairly clueless, too. I've tried it once or twice just in case, however, and I did it pretty much how the website posted earlier said.


Cream Soda can't be ironic, it's far too tasty.

Someone called me a hipster for liking real ale and being a member of CAMRA. Words fail me.

Does this drink that came in a glass bottle that cost me 50 cents and that I can't read a single word on count? It seems to be a pretty good lemonade.

In my neighborhood, there is a section of blocks full of stores specifically catering to people wanting to feel "artsy".  One of these stores sells pre-ragged flannels and ironic tee-shirts, those miniature plaid fedoras, and sunglasses of all shapes and sizes.  It is directly across the street from a store that sells nothing but overpriced sodas of every origin and description and a selection of faux-vintage candy brands.  I love going there, because spending two dollars on a bottle of cream soda makes me feel like a boss, and it is goddamn Grand Hipster Station.

It's called New Jersey. Or perhaps California. Either way, MTV must die.

NYC has way more hipsters than even SF, and that's saying something.
