Pop! goes my pom-pom


Before I start I must advise our readers that this is a British-located narrative in nature, so no complaints will be accepted - read at your own risk. Go protest against William and Kate somewhere else.

As I share this excellent historical fact with you, unwashed masses, I'm enjoying a delicious, very fizzy and also very cold glass of pop. And I have bunnies to thank for that! You see, a couple of hundred years ago British rabbits were desperately bored. They had every reason to be bored: terrible weather all year around, no movie theaters, romantic rubbish on paperbacks weren't naughty enough yet to catch your attention for more than 5 minutes... So they had to make do with what they had and get creative.

And what they did have was the meadows, rivers, carrots, berries and predators. A very lucky bunny discovered naturally carbonated water lakes, subsequently inviting tons of bunnies to share the bubbly pool. Bunnies are very ticklish (ask anyone) so that was an instant hit. A second bunny (a clever one, if I may add) started making fresh berry juice with that water, rapidly becoming a lagomorph hero of sorts. It was really an explosion of flavors in your mouth! So, much the same way today's soda commercials portray young peeps having a blast while they drink pop, the bunnies danced, played the piano and bounced around as if they were in a rave party when they consumed this berry drink. That was before they discovered beer, naturally.

So there you have it, bunnies did that too. You should thank them if you haven't done so already.
