To all my Fanta soda heads: I hate to be the one to tell you this, but Fanta was invited by Nazis for Nazis (kind of).

It all started during the sequel to the Great War, which most call World War 2, when the Coca Cola Company pulled a super patriotic move (which was aided by a ISA trade embargo): they banned shipping that gooooooood Coca Cola syrup to any of their factories in axis affiliated countries. Only those brave enough to fight for freedom were allowed to have every Polar bears favorite cola during the war, and rightfully so.

This put the German Coca Cola factories in a real tough spot, what were they supposed to make/sell without access to that goooooooooooooood syrup?! Well they put those A1 German engineering minds to work, and CC Deutschland president Max Keith decided to use whatever leftover ingredients he could get his hands on to produce a new soft drink. After concocting the sugary beverage, which at the time was used more as an additive to recipes due to the shortage of sugar rations in Germany during the war, they decided to call it FANTA short for the word fantasy, as it was supposed to be the drink of your dreams or some shit. The original Fanta had a yellow color to it, as the orange signature Fanta wasn’t invented until the mid 50s in Italy.

Keith ended up selling his new formula/syrup to other Axis powers during the war, spreading its popularity all over Europe, and once the war finished Coca Cola decided to sell it worldwide in flavors using regional fruits/flavors in each part of the world, much like the OG recipe.

So yes, Fanta was invented by Germans for Germans in Nazi Germany, does that mean it was invented specifically by Nazis/for Nazis? Not really, but kind of, but if it wasn’t for communism you likely would not be enjoying Fanta (and the over 90 flavors it is available in worldwide) today.

In case you have not been made aware yet, prep is making a comeback. With brands like Rowing Blazers, NOAH NYC, and JW Anderson leading the revival. This new age of prep sportswear takes cues from the past greats (J. Press, RUGBY, Polo) but adds a far more authentic feel, no fake crest polos out here.

Given how the tides are leaning toward menswear making a preppy revival to kick off the roaring (20)20s, J Crew decided to get in on the action and drop the most authentic rugby collab of all time, some very spicy numbers with New Zealand based brand Canterbury.

Canterbury makes actual Rugby kits for some of the worlds best teams: England, Ireland, and the British Irish Lions to name a few. So J Crew pulled a no brainer move by partnering up with them to drop 5 extremely authentic rugby’s, which will look perfect with the menswear trends on the horizon.

Listen, I know this game came out in 2017, but it was just free with Xbox live gold last month SOOOOOOOOOOOO count it!

Me and das homies had been looking for an online game to play together, we thought it would be the new COD, but that has been extremely underwhelming lately, so we have been fiending FRIDAY THE 13TH THE GAME instead and BOY OH BOY does it fucking slap.

The game is a 9 player online game, with 8 players playing as camp counselors trying to survive/escape a camp while being pursued by the 9th player, who is Jason, the OP as fuck murderous psycho. Needless to say playing as counselors with the homies trying to avoid Jason is extremely fun, as the element of fear keeps the game incredibly exciting.

There are multiple ways to escape the camp, but working together is key, and I am far more confident in my abilities to escape from a serial killer IRL now.

For the exciting team based gameplay and great soundtrack, this blog has no other choice than to make this our 2019 game of the year.

Cop up now if you haven’t and we will see you at camp crystal lake.

Swish already wrote a sad blog about Tottenham sacking the best manager of his lifetime, and bringing in the “special one” Jose Mourihno, you can scroll down to read it. However I feel you, our valued readers, need to hear a non-Tottenham fans perspective on the situation. So let’s get started:

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT A JOKE OF A FUCKING CLUB. Let’s look at the facts here: yes Mauricio Pochettino did bring spurs to the champions league final last year, but during his entire tenure at Tottenham he won exactly ZERO trophies. Tottenham fans will have you thinking this motherfucker is Jesus Christ reincarnated, when in reality he was just a better version of former Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, and he leaves North London with nothing but “what ifs” and “almosts” to show for it.

Now moving on to their new manager, Jose Mourihno, here were swish’s thoughts: “Poch has been done dirty. This man did something the last five years that Jose could never do.” Hmmmmmmmm does he forget that Jose has won many, many trophies? Including the 2004 champions league trophy with fucking PORTO, Jose has done more than Poch ever will, though that was the old Jose. The new JOSE Mourihno is scorched earther, his MO lately has been to show up at clubs, change everything about them and leave a massive pile of trash when he departs within 2 years. Spurs fans thought this season was going poorly? Boy oh boy is about to get worse.

What I can agree with Swish on is that Tottenhams management is a fucking joke for this move, after dumping all of their money into an NFL stadium, and refusing to sign new players for nearly an entire year, firing the man that got you to the UCL final last May is the cherry on top of the shit show.

Tottenham fans however need to realize they support a club that has always been tiny, unlike their far superior European giant neighbors, England’s best club: Arsenal. You see Arsenal might be struggling right now sure, but they are a club with rich history, they know how to win trophies and it’s only a matter of time before they get back into form. Spurs on the other hand simply don’t know how to win, sure they’ll put the pressure on but they don’t know how to get it done, it’s their history and they are a long way away from changing that. Maybe these pictures can motivate them:

To summarize: it’s going to get worse at Tottenham before it gets better. Mind that fucking gap.
