    Ironically enough, that emperor would probably have thought it’s mana from heaven, if he ever got to try Sprite.

    I don’t know why but the feeling that pops up in my head is basically “what it feels like to be 7 years old and you have no idea about what this weird glass is but the sprite is the only thing that matters”.

    I honestly don’t know if he meant that as a joke or an advert.

      Only if it’s an advert to loot museums or trade in illegal antiquities to Obey Your Thirst™ at McDonald’s™.

      Yeah kinda weird he specifically mentioned a McDonald’s ™Sprite™.Maybe its just because a big fast food chain most people know sounds more relateble.

        McDonald’s(and others) used to sell promo glasses that might have looked like this. My LOTR goblets I think were from Burger King.

          We have the wonderfully hideous Taco Bell Star Trek III glasses. When they get broken, they get replaced. I will never not have hideous Taco Bell Star Trek III glasses.

      If by ‘dishwasher,’ you mean ‘the slave who washes the emperor’s dishes,’ then it better be or else.

    No thanks. I’ve been trying to purge all of my emerald tableware. Need to lower the emerald levels in my blood.

      Don’t give money to Big Cup. Get some stone mason and jewelers tools, an emerald the size of a human heart, and DIY that cup. Save yourself at least a few bucks.

      Honestly, that’s true of all fast food places. They employ food scientists and psychologists to addict as many people as possible to their products. And once you’re hooked, it’s hard as fuck to get away. “I don’t go to Burger King anymore, but man I miss Whoppers” is the sort of thing I’ve heard more than once.
