In this episode of Restaurant Overdose, we explore the unusual, chaotic, and sometimes deadly history of what people have consumed just to catch a buzz.
We kick things off with a collab and taste test of Bakesale Vibes, a modern THC infused chocolate drink – and as the vibe sets in, we take a left turn straight into history.
From the real reason Prohibition started (and ended) to an unhinged WWII concoction known as Torpedo Juice (yes, sailors literally drank torpedo fuel), this episode shows how far people will go when alcohol is restricted… or simply not strong enough.
You’ll hear:
- Our review of Bakesale Vibes (and what it actually feels like)
- How Creative people actually get when alcohol is restricted
- The terrifying recipe sailors used to “purify” torpedo fuel
- The deadly consequences they didn’t see coming
- How modern edible drinks echo past trends
- The timeless human desire to… well… get buzzed
It’s part history lesson, part modern review, park dark comedy – and all absolutely wild!
