7 Drinks That Will Make You The Most Popular Guest At Any Summer Barbecue Or Picnic

cdn.pixabay.com

Summer time is finally here, or at least approaching depending on where you live. This means beaches, lake days, picnics, barbecues. As we all know, with these events comes some pretty killer heat. Nothing says summer time like a delicious ice cold beverage that is not only refreshing, but delicious. If you wanna be prepared to serve drinks that are sure to lead to some fun in the sun, check out the 7 beverages in this article that I know your friends and family will not be able to get enough from.

1) Seltzer

Sometimes, you just have to keep things simple. Water is great and all, but seltzer really helps bring people to the cooler on a hot day. The carbonation really helps to keep you from drinking too fast so you not only get to enjoy a delicious drink, but you can enjoy it for longer! This drink comes in a plethora of flavors so you can bet your bottom dollar there is a kind that you and your party will love.

2) Club soda

Who doesn't love a little bit of tingly water? A case or a bottle of club soda can liven up any get together. With flavors like strawberry lemonade and lime, what is there not to love?

3) Sparkling water

Some gas infused liquid is sure to hit the spot at your next party. Sip like the elite with this ~fancy~ drink. (My personal favorite flavor is cucumber melon, let me know what you think!)

4) Seltzer water

A little bit of H2C03 (Which is H2O+CO2 for those of you not well versed in chemestry) is just what the summer doctor ordered to put a damper on the brutal heat of the summer. This one only comes in one flavor... PSYCH there are soooo many flavors for this incredibly unique drink.

5) Effervescent water

Okay I'm gonna have to keep it real with you guys for a second, this one is basically just a fancy name for the next drink. See #6

6) Bubbly/Fizzy water

A little bit of bubbles in your water? What could be better when the temps get hotter! With this spicy take on your every day beverage you'll be sure to gain a great deal of leverage (the next time there is is "who brought the best drinks to the party" competition). Pick from hundreds of flavors that will tingle your taste buds.

7) Carbonated water

Carbon here does NOT mean that you are contributing to climate change by drinking this. It DOES mean that you will be everybody's favorite guest to have at any summertime ordeal. Pro-Tip: if you poll some of the guests before the party, you can ask them what their favorite flavors are and get those because there is sure to be a carbonated water in any flavor you could think of!

There you have it, the 7 best drinks for your next summer time shin dig. The hardest part is picking which one to bring! Really you should just buy all 7 and bring them to the party but leave them in your car, then feel the vibes of the place and then bring out the corresponding beverage. You'll have all the attendees asking "How did you know?! This is the perfect drink for this specific summer time gathering!"

Happy drinking!

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Rutgers University

Yify

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

No, I can't help you.

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.

8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.

9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!

10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!

11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!

12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!

It's just my face, I swear.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.

Please hold your blonde joke.

1. "Is Elle Woods your spirit animal?"

2. "Is that your natural hair color?"

3. "Oh wow, you get good grades at school?"

4. "You must really like the color pink!"

5. "You’re probably not into sports, right?"

6. "You must have such a bubbly personality."

7. "Your wardrobe must consist of all things preppy."

8. "What sorority are you in?"

9. "You were probably a cheerleader in high school."

10. "You look like you’re from L.A. because your hair is so light."

11. "You definitely like Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks!"

12. "Do you actually think blondes have more fun?"

13. "You must encompass the typical “white girl” stereotype."

14. "Is that daddy’s credit card you’re using?"

15. "So all of your friends are blonde too?"
