Breathe in, breathe out. Don’t worry, you can do this.
The first thing that hits you as you step into the room is the drastic change in lighting. Gone is the harsh white of the hallway- the multi-coloured LED lights wash your vision in different shades that change quicker than your opinion on mess food. You can’t hear anymore, the sounds of blaring music, raucous laughter and inebriated Pol-Sci majors arguing for the merits of their department have robbed you of your hearing. You can see, but you can’t see- the room is too red, too blue, too sunset, too gloomy, too dark to make out shapes. You can’t hold onto anything solid- it all evades your grip. You feel like you’re drowning in a trashy Euphoria remake. In many ways, you are.
A click, a flick, a switch is turned and suddenly you see-
Sustenance! (well not really we basically didn’t know how to categorize both foods and drinks so we figured sustenance was a good word to make us look smart and make you get us).
Except, what exactly is it?
The various snacks and diverse beverages on your kindly host’s desk have you itching to eat, but confused on how to proceed. What if one sip gives you typhoid? Or worse- the urge to call up your maybe-could-have-been-bae-from-school at 2 in the morning?
Found yourself at a party, but with no clue what to do? Are you slowly getting hungry, but you’re sus of the food? Don’t worry, we got you!
After extensive research and on-field experience, we present to you our very own collated snek guide, where we detail a list of drinks and snacks you’ll find every Thursday night (and at every Friday townhall).
ASS- No, this drink didn’t taste like its namesake (at first). It was very much in vogue for a while until it got discontinued. You may have hated it, but it was the subject of discussion every Thursday night- in a way, we kinda miss you that you’re gone.
APA! Originally a citation format, APA is that beverage can which tastes like sprite in the tuck shop with the most aggressive branding ever (like seriously i feel threatened even being within 6 feet of the label how is that even possible).
Independents- These beverages are independent in every way except in their creation- they’re made by one of your friends who saw TBBT and thought they could be a better bartender (at least they tried).
Leher- It’s a snack! It’s a baby snack! It’s fresh out of the oven (but available only in Sonipat sorry). It’s made out of an eclectic mix of ingredients such as peri-peri masala, potato, garlic, chaat masala, no preservatives, etc. Please do not mistake it for Kurkure (they’re different you guys)
Sattva? Idk apparently you get it at some parties but not the ones I’ve been to iykyk. It’s basically ORS- you dissolve it for it to work :)
ACC- Very expensive but mid level soft drinks. Trying to imitate ASS. Not worth the money tbh.
NOTA- Literally the single greatest drink you’ll ever encounter on a wayward English major’s desk on a Thursday night. Be warned though- the fun lasts only once. The drink expires vvv quickly- you can’t have more than one.
Gone but not forgotten (even though we tried)
