I always thought it was odd that Garnier Fructise used the Transplants song "Diamonds and Guns" in their shampoo ads:

"Knock, knock, knock, who's that? It's Momma, son
Lookin' for the bitch who took the money and run
Now the daylight's gone and there's no more fun
And who's the fuckin' bitch who stole all the heroin?
Heroin, heroin, it's all gone
Smoked it all up, and now you got none"

I think it's weird that boomers call it "the Airplane."

I was walking through my house a couple of months ago and heard White Rabbit, and turned to see the commercial you're referring to, and was pretty gobsmacked.

Then one day on twitter I saw a reference to it, pretty much the same as your question above, and learned I wasn't alone.

Honestly, I think "tHE aiRPLanE" is probably an enormous step toward normalcy from Iggy.

Today’s edition of you know you’re a douchebag when.....
You wait in line at the bull shit Starbucks on Michigan Avenue for 30 minutes to pay $18 plus tax for a 4 ounce espresso martini and then take multiple selfies of yourself.
No, I’m not the douchebag in this instance. Thank God!

Espresso Martini. About $11-$15 everywhere.

I would not order one from Starbucks, though.

So, gin in an espresso? Sounds like a Ray Charles.
