Over the past couple years, we’ve seen a proliferation of uniquely flavored liquors that have drawn the ire and criticism of party poopers who say booze companies are targeting the underage. The latest flavor will definitely be a hit with brown baggers.
Living in Montana we are a bit isolated from the strange, eccentric and just down right weird. Luckily the internet grants us instant access to such stories while maintaining our safe distance from the insanity. Check out inside for this week’s strangest stories from around the web.
