    “Hear me out. We put our product next to 4 people making ‘eww’ faces. And talk about inhaling gas.”

    I just say it’s hard to follow the text. It’s more confusing than anything else.

      I blame it partly on English being what it is.

        It is badly written though. I’m not even sure at the end who’s got the good gas

    I wonder if the association to gasoline or even potential for confusion with gasoline is deliberate here

      It has to be. The general concept of “gas“ doesn’t have a particular smell, but gasoline does.

        It was cool you nerd. Times change 🤷‍♂️

        The amount of snark and lack of context these 20 year olds come out with over something now dumb 60 years later is absurd 🤣
