In the following piece, I have attempted to directly offend everyone in some way, while still maintaining that impartial, unprejudiced, evenhanded dictionary explanation.

I hope you know by now that when I say this, I mean it.

What is The Suicide?

The Suicide is a nonalcoholic beverage…

Wait. No… No… NO!… PLEASE! GOD! KEEP READING! I SWEAR TO CHRIST!

The Suicide is a nonalcoholic beverage that is prepared by a purchaser of a drinking apparatus who has access to a fountain machine. The purchaser simply pours a small, equal amount of each provided soda into the cup. The drink usually consists of Coke (the liquid, negro kind), Diet Coke (the liquid, negro kind), Sprite, Root Beer (the… liquid… negro… kind?), and Mountain Dew. It may be made with similar, shittier Pepsi products.

“This amalgam of various carbonated elixirs is, in short, the ambrosia, nay, the absinth, of the fast food world.”

The question of what’s actually in the drink, however, lies in the number of variants of each fountain machine. The choices that these machines offer may vary from standard American classics, such as Cherry Coke and Vanilla Coke, to unpopular foreign rejects, such as Pepsi and lukewarm saltwater mixed with camel spit (available only in Middle Eastern Burger Kings).

A question many of The Suicide’s fans may ask might go like this: “Will there be Country Time Lemonade?! That dank shit Nestea?! Will I be forced to drink some shitty flavor of Powerade? The question, indeed: Who knows what will fill this large paper cup that I have in my masculine, white hand?!”

This is not a racist or sexist question, however. The simple truth is that The Suicide is a drink for a certain demographic. Women always get Diet Coke (because they should stay skinny for me), Asians always get water (because their little eyes make it appear to be Sprite), and blacks always get grape soda (because it tastes better on their big lips).

Statistics, unlike gang drive-bys, are rarely planned to hurt anyone.


The Poem

Please allow me to now poetically illustrate why The Suicide is the most palatable beverage in the universe.

The Suicide

The Syrup erects my Nipples!
The Carbonation eats my Cum!
I am sexually attracted to trees.

When I drink it,
I am horny for it
But, maybe,
I am just
Plain old
Horny…

No. That couldn’t be!
The Suicide is fucking
Gnarly
with
a
capital
G.

(Pepsi sucks

and white guys
talk like this:

did you see the baseball game?
helluva game.
yep.
Well Bill,
I’m headed home
to make sweet,
awkward love
to my flat-assed wife.)

The end.

Yes, regardless of what combination of beverages the restaurant of your choosing has, this amalgam of various carbonated elixirs is, in short, the ambrosia—nay, the nectar—nay, the absinth of the fast food world. Surely, Allah smiled the day Mohammed created this sanctified drink. At 3:13 AM, Thursday, October 6th, in his kiddie-porn meth lab.

(See me for pictures.)


Why “The Suicide?”

Though I’m not really sure how the name “The Suicide” developed, I can only testify to the nonbelievers that it, indeed, was the result of a very pleasurable death. After all, overdosing on The Suicide is like having four coked-out models fuck you and suck you and rub you until you jizz out parts of your heart. This smells of raw sausage and looks like red Play-Doh. Yum.

But regardless of its roots, the word is unlike any other word in the history of human language. You see, “The Suicide” is the first and only word that succinctly captures the essence of the object it describes. For example, the word “bush” cannot and does not perfectly describe how beautiful a woman’s pubic region is. Nor can the word “tree” effectively convey how fucking sexy a tree is (See poem above.)

However, in contrast, the self-determined peril associated with mixing drinks like Hawaiian Punch and Mellow Yellow may only be accurately described by the act of killing oneself.

Think about it: what other beverage could be named after eating a whole bottle of sleeping pills? Or shooting oneself in the brain? Or fucking the AIDS-ridden Paris Hilton and dying of pneumonia a few years later?

The only thing that would improve The Suicide is if retailers would finally decide to include these beverages for their fountain choices:

Whipped cream
Rolling Rock
Maple syrup
Liquid butter
Feminist pussy excrement (it gives it a bit of an edge)


Where is The Suicide?

I must admit that it’s quite surprising that not many people have committed The Suicide’s existence to memory (zing!). Some have never known of the greatness of The Suicide at all! This is so bewildering, in fact, that I’ve decided to do a small test over the course of the last few days, in order to see how familiar people are with my soft drink o’ choice.

Let’s do it.

The following is the account of trying to get The Suicide at the drive-ins of various fast food joints in the greater Morgantown area. I also decided that I’d use some different voices and shit to see which works best in receiving this rock-boppin’ drink.

In the following piece, I have included its name in red throughout, in order to properly warn you that The Suicide is extremely addictive. Also, the wondrous, all-knowing FDA caught wind of my article and kindly and tactfully asked me to show you this:

Surgeon General’s Warning: The Suicide significantly increases the risk of developing the following cancers: stomach, liver, kidney, breast, brain, skin, pancreatic, testicular, eye, and ovarian. You should not drink it if you are pregnant or can become pregnant.

Yet…

The taste! The beauty! The pure, untainted innocence! Yes, The Suicide is the perfect beverage to prime yourself for a nice, warm circlejerk.

Though, faggots best not get married!

Let’s slam it, mother fuckers.

(…)

Anyway… well… I’m starting to think about The Suicide too. How it feels. How really I can choose how I do it. How it would taste… I mean, really, sometimes I prefer Coke… and sometimes I prefer Diet Coke.

(Diet Coke?)

Sometimes I even add a lil’ Mountain Dew. But it’s tricky see… you gotta add the right amounts of stuff or the whole damned thing just—

The Cleanup

From these social experiments, I’m only able to state a few facts learned:

-McDonald’s employees are smarter than I anticipated… I’m going to suggest the GED and ITT Tech to each employee from now on. Who knows, they might be able to buy that a doublewide of their dreams!

-1-800-SUICIDE really isn’t prepared to satisfy my needs. Moreover, they could have seriously put my life in jeopardy… if say, I was actually suicidal and just speaking in terms of a very complicated metaphor. I think they should be more prepared for shit like that.

-Pepsi. Fucking. Sucks.


The Results

-My hatred of Arby’s and Chick-fil-A.

-My unwavering support of McDonald’s

-A new awareness and happiness for my ancestor’s rapage of ancestral Indian women.

-My apathy for McDonald’s “hamburgers” consisting of kangaroo tail and gym mat.

They’ve got The Suicide and are 100% compliant with my desires to drink it; so, who cares?

-Pepsi fucking sucking.

As for the rest of you…. Say it ain’t so, world. Say it ain’t so.

Get with the program. Start ordering it. And try asking for the 1/5th whipped cream, 1/5th Rolling Rock, 1/5th maple syrup, 1/5th liquid butter, and 1/5th feminist pussy excrement version.

It’s fucking SCRUMPTIOUS.

Your friend,
Nick MOTHERFUCKIN’ Gaudio
