Additionally, this summer the shop has once again launched “Speak Your Mind” lightly carbonated sparkling drinks, such as “Overtime WTF” in strawberry flavor, “MDFK Salary Too Low” in peach flavor, and “Boss You TMD Pig Head” in blackcurrant flavor. Aren’t these drink names just too witty and stress-relieving? How can you not order one? (laughs)
